 ===== Create a sequence =====
 When you launch the sequence editor, it starts with a new sequence, ready to take snapshots, so there is no need to start a new sequence. You are able to add steps with the add scene {{:sq_ed_add_scene.jpg|add scenes}} button.
-Remember that this is a snapshot, it will only record the changes made since you added the step. So if you made a change to a fixture, you might want to make sure you make the same change on the next steps otherwise it will not be recorded and another sequence may change it. (In some cases, this is desirable, like when you want to make a sequence that changes colours, but you want to allow another sequence to set the intensity.)

+**Common mistake:**\\
+A common mistake is to add an extra scene by pressing “+” at the end of editing.\\
+“+” is adding a new empty scene. Not adding the scene you just have edited.\\
+\\
+Example:\\
+From scratch, 1 Scene sequence:\\
+: Editing Scene 1\\
+: Save sequence. \\
+\\
+From scratch, 2 Scene sequence:\\
+: Editing Scene 1\\
+: Press “+” \\
+: Editing Scene 2\\
+: Save sequence. \\
+\\
+From scratch, extra unwanted scene added:\\
+: Editing Scene 1\\
+: Press “+” \\
+: Editing Scene 2\\
+Press “+”\\
+: Save sequence.\\
+This gives a sequence with 3 scenes and Scene 2 and 3 will be the same as no editing are done after pressing “+” the last time.\\

 ===== Save a sequence =====
 Once you have taken several snapshots, it's time to save your current sequence so that you will able to play it during your shows.
 Click on the quick save {{:sq_ed_quick_save.jpg|save}} button if you have already saved it with a name, or you can use the save as {{:sq_ed_save_as.jpg|save as}} button to give it a new name.

 You can use the preview {{:sq_ed_preview.jpg|}} button.
-When running a live show, you will find your sequences in the  [[playback:overridebuttons:override_buttons|override buttons]] //(if you have ticked the add to buttons option before saving the sequence)\\
+When you running a show you will run one or more sequences simultaneously. All sequences can be replayed in the  [[playback:cue:playback_sequence|cue]] which takes up to 20 sequences at the time. The sequences are to be added to this [[playback:cue_list|cue list]], which are shown in the CUE window in order to be replayed.\\
-NOTE: Override buttons only show the first step in your sequence, and there is no fade, it just snaps to the set values.

+An additional way to use a sequence is to use an [[playback:overridebuttons:override_buttons|override buttons]]
+. The override button will not replay a sequence but only set one scene as it is an override. If the sequence are to be used as override then make a sequence dedicated to the override containing only one scene.\\

+FreeStyler has a building FX generator that help you generating sequence and thereby reducing the amount of work when multiple fixtures are to be used in a sequence.
