    Nested timelines for multi-projector sync

    by lewisbaggins » Thu May 07, 2026 9:53 am

    Hi everyone,

    I often work with 3-projector installations where each projector has its own timeline, but some animation layers still need to stay globally synced across all outputs. Right now I duplicate cues manually, which becomes difficult to maintain during live edits.

    Would it be possible for a future version of madMapper to support “nested timelines” or linked timeline groups? For example, one master timeline controls shared animations, while each projector maintains independent local timing and effects.

    I think this could make large immersive installations much easier to organize, especially for interactive exhibitions and dome setups.

    I don't think your description is detailed enough, because it sounds doable already.
    Do you know about the conductor's "timeline player" track type? This is essentially a nested timeline. You can also create an OSC command set to output to the local osc port to fire off other timelines (cues are osc controllable).
    If you give a more detailed description of what you're trying to achieve I might be able to help
