    Hello everyone, 
    can I save basic looks or lighting scenes in Capture itself (without a connected lighting console) so that I can call them up again next time and don't have to set everything up again manually? 

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey Benjamin,

    If you patch fixture in your showfile, you can select them and set them as you like. When you're happy, head over to the snapshot tab and add a snapshot. It's super easy. Just make sure all fixtures you want to capture have a DMX address.

    This seems a bit unintuitive. I've heard from multiple users that they were not aware that Snapshots do not record anything without a DMX address. I wasn't myself at first, either. I've suggested renaming the Snapshots to DMX Snapshots or something. Or maybe set a warning when there are no patched channels at all when you try to record a snapshot. Or at least show a black preview image when the snapshot is recorded with no levels.
