Shows

Shows are the canonical record of a drone-show production — from the first creative pitch through pilot assignment, file handoff, customer approval, and the final shareable render preview.

The Shows workspace is the heart of the Verge Web Portal. Every drone-show production gets its own Show, broken into one or more Performances (the individual flights), and tracked through a single canonical record that every collaborator — producers, designers, pilots, pyro coordinators, venue contacts, customers — can work against.

Because each Show has a shareable public link, coordination is genuinely cross-organizational: vendors and customers without a Verge account can open the show, comment on storyboards, watch the rendered preview, and complete the deadlines you've assigned to them — all without chasing email threads or shared drives.

This section is organised around the three phases of a production:

1. Creating and Rendering — how to spin up a new show, upload a .packedshow, and download the resulting .vbake, VVIZ, or Depence files.

2. Logistics, Collaboration, and Coordination — show metadata, venue, personnel, deadlines, file/link/contact management, and the cross-organisation workflows the portal automates around them.

3. Storyboarding and Previewing — the storyboarding tool, share dialog, and shareable render previews that close the loop with customers and partners.

A Show's landing tab — the Show Details panel. From here every other surface (Venue, Personnel, Resources, each Performance) is one click away.
