Nested timelines for multi-projector sync
Posted: 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.
