# Show Sequencer

The Show Sequencer is the main tool for multimedia show programming in Depence. The Timeline can contain several different Track types depending on usage and media type.

## Create a Show File

To create a new Show file, from the <mark style="color:blue;">**Sequences**</mark> directory right-click on the right side:

### Load a Show File

Multiple Shows can be loaded and edited with a double click on a repository item.

The Sequencer will list them in a tabbed view:

![](/files/-MhI_k_HwYlz_Q74hejk)

## Show Organization

A Show File is a timeline composed of [tracks](/depence-show-and-animation/depence-show-sequencer/depence-track-types.md) that can be organized in a tree structure by using Folders, while all child objects will inherit their parent's Lock, Mute & Solo properties.

## **Show Playback**

Once you click on "Play", the Sequencer will playback all Scenes according to their position on the timeline. The **first click** on Stop will "Pause" the Show without Releasing the currently active Scenes. A **second click** on Stop will release the Show.
