How to Share/Export a Scene to Another Studio

This guide shows you how to share your custom scenes with others using scene codes.

Quick Steps

  1. Right-click on a Pro Scene in the Scenes panel
  2. Select Export from the context menu
  3. Copy the scene code from the dialog
  4. Share the code with others

Detailed Steps

Step 1: Open Scene Context Menu

  1. Locate the Pro Scene you want to share in the Scenes panel
  2. Right-click on the scene thumbnail
  3. The context menu appears

Step 2: Select Export

  1. Click Export in the context menu
  2. The “Share scene” dialog opens

Step 3: Copy the Scene Code

  1. The scene code is displayed in a rounded input field
  2. Click the copy button (blue circle with copy icon)
  3. Tooltip shows: “Copy to Clipboard”
  4. After copying, tooltip changes to: “Copied”
  5. Icon changes to checkmark when copied

Step 4: Share the Code

  • Send the code via email, chat, or messaging
  • Recipients can import using this code
  • Code is a unique identifier for your scene

Step 5: Close the Dialog

  • Click outside the dialog to close
  • Click the X button in the top-right corner
  • Press Escape key

Important Information

The dialog displays this notice:

“When sharing a scene, anyone with the scene identifier will be able to import it in its current state. However, once you delete the scene on your end, it will no longer be available for import by others.”

Key Points:

  • Scene is shared in its current state
  • Code works as long as you keep the scene
  • Deleting your scene invalidates the code
  • Recipients get an independent copy, not a linked version. Changes in either studio do not affect the other.

Importing a Shared Scene

To use a scene code you received:

  1. Click Add Scene in the Scenes panel
  2. In the “Create new Pro scene” dialog, find Import Scene
  3. Enter the share code
  4. The scene is imported into your session

What Transfers When Importing a Scene

When someone imports your scene, they get a full copy including media assets. Here is exactly what transfers:

Fully Copied (YES - Transfers)

ItemDetails
All layersPositions, sizes, effects, animation, order
Images and videosAll uploaded media files are copied to the new studio
SlideshowsComplete slideshow content
Text content and stylingAll text layers with fonts and formatting
Custom fontsFont files used by layers
Scene backgroundBackground colors and overrides
Stinger/transition effectsPer-scene transition configuration
Lower-third templatesBanner and lower-third configurations
Apps & WidgetsWidget layers and their settings

Does NOT Transfer (Per-Studio)

ItemWhy
Participant video feedsSpeakers/guests are unique to each studio - the importer adds their own people
Live streaming destinationsEach studio has its own streaming setup
Recording settingsPer-session configuration

In short: Everything visual about the scene (layout, media, styling) is fully copied. Only live participant connections are studio-specific.

Tips

Before Sharing

  • Review the scene for any sensitive content
  • Test that all layers appear correctly

Scene Persistence

  • Keep the original scene if you want the code to remain valid
  • Make a copy before modifying if you’ve shared the code
  • Renaming the scene doesn’t affect the share code

Collaboration

  • Great for sharing templates with team members
  • Use for consistent branding across productions
  • Share starting points for common broadcast formats

Troubleshooting

Copy button not working?

  • Click directly on the blue copy button
  • Check browser clipboard permissions
  • Try selecting and copying manually

Code not accepted when importing?

  • Verify the code was copied completely
  • Check if the original scene was deleted

Scene looks different after import?

  • Layer positions and all media should transfer correctly
  • Participant video feeds will be empty - you need to add your own speakers/guests
  • Check that apps & widgets are functioning in the new studio
