I often want to import elements of one show in another without recreatig all of them.
Is there any way of automated importing Blufftitler shows in another Blufftitler show? I know it is possible to change the layer ids manually in the .bt files for this, but this is very time consuming. Has anybody an import script or is there a hidden menue in Blufftitler?
Thanks for the links, but these both are not, what I am looking for. I have a puzzle animation for example, which I want to reuse in different films. If I merge the .bt files manually by changing the layer IDs, I get the puzzle animation into another film and can use it there again.
Blufftitler can duplicate layers in one show, which does exactly what I am looking for, but only in one show. I can duplicate a container layer with all settings, movements etc. If it would be possible to copy this container layer to another show - for example via clipboard or something else - I could reuse it every time I need a new puzzle animation...

So you want an IMPORT CONTAINER FROM ANOTHER SHOW option?
Already on the 2do list!

There are two options.
the first, is to create the show, and adding the expression DIR: each image path of each piece. With this option all images that are inside the folder texture, will come out one by one in the same animation repeatedly.
The second: Once the show has finished, store it with the name you want to add to this (1)
then resave the same show with the same name by adding (2). now closes the show and opens the show (2) Begins to make changes that differ from the above when finished save as (show (2) and then as a show (3). close and open the show (3) make the same steps above.
While the idea is that each animation a different show. the advantage is that changes are quick to make.
when we all show we want. then we open the first show and go to Preferences / playlist window. and in the window that appears, Clik right mouse button and search for the show to hir adding them all. when everyone on the list, we export all together, and that's all;-)

Thanks maitegras,
but if I understand you correctly I have different shows, which can be played in a row with the playlist. I want to use for example a puzzle or a cube conatainer as a part of another show fully integrated.

I understand what you want. but currently this option is not available for BluffTitler.
sony vegas pro this option if available, call (nesting veg's)
sony vegas an example is when we have several veg's saved with different video effects.
and we use these video effects in a single job.
just drag the veg's timeline to have the desired effect.
wanted in the future we can enjoy this in BluffTitler. BluffTitler because it is a good program composition
