Publish and Export
Publish
You can publish your project at anytime to make the scenes available in Chameleon, so that you may create Shows and Rundowns to test your project.
Flow Connection Manager
Before publishing your project the first time, you will need to define a connection to the Chameleon server. This can be done from menu item Settings→Flow Settings...
You may define connections to multiple servers, such as a local server for testing and a cloud instance for production use. The settings defined for each server provide the information needed to connect and update the database when publishing.
The login you use will need to have appropriate permissions to publish and upload the project to the server. To successfully upload the project the Flow login used has to have: (version 1.2.8 or greater)
- Edit access to the content group of the project
- The Rundowns & Shows security privilege in Flow (currently assigned to the Producer, Super Producer or Sys Admin security groups)
Note
If your server is a cloud instance provided by Bannister Lake, please contact BL Sales.
Publish Project
To publish from Chameleon Designer, click File > Publish
Give your project a Published Name, which is the name you will see in Chameleon's Show Creator. Select Publish to publish.
Export
After publishing your project, you need to export the Project. The JSON file needs to be live in the project root folder.
