Can I copy and paste events from one show to another?


In COBRA Show Creator, it is possible to copy and paste events from one show script to another.

4. Right click to bring up the menu and select Copy Cues. Alternatively, you can use keyboard shortcuts to copy events. On Mac, this is Command + C and on Windows, this is Control C.
