Step 2: Check the appropriate 6000 device.

 Step 4: Locate the desired trigger from the list, and save the line. (Names that will be visible here can be different/custom than the screen shot indicates)Show Control trigger script3.png

Note: If you want multiple triggers, a new line will need to be added.  As a best practice, it's best to always include a Look trigger and the Source trigger to make sure that no matter what look and source combination you are coming from, the display responds in the desired fashion. Other trigger types may be added to adjust things like Fit Fudge, Easing, and Timing. Otherwise, these properties will function under the properties that they were last set to (i.e. transition time of 0.5 seconds with a linear ease and center cropping for fit fudge).

Note: By default, looks with A at the end of their names will be higher in z order than looks with B in their names by default, making them appear on top if their rectangles overlap. This must be considered when creating looks and when scripting buttons. If you want to show something in your B look/layer, you'll need to make sure A is off using PIPA_DMP_. Alternatively, if you are trying to create a picture-in-picture look with one large video layer and a smaller video layer overlayed on top, the large video layer will need to be configured on layer B while the smaller will need to be configured on layer A so they can be layered properly.
