## What is Dramatic Light Presentations?

Transform your presentations into immersive experiences with Dramatic, the perfect app for storytellers, role-playing gamers, streamers, live shows, trivia nights, improv, community theater, and murder mystery parties. Simply connect to Philips Hue Entertainment, LIFX, or Nanoleaf Light Panels to control your lights scene-by-scene and add stunning visuals and audio sound effects to your presentations.

SCENE-BASED SCRIPTS: Creating scripts of light and sound effects has never been easier with Dramatic's highly-configurable, list-based editor. Choose from over 150 professionally-designed Audiovisuals, or play any of the 100+ million tracks included with your Apple Music subscription right from the app. You can also import your own .mp3 and .wav sound files by placing them in the Dramatic folder in the Files app.

LIGHTING SOUNDBOARD: Add depth and complexity to your presentations with Dramatic's ability to control up to three groups of light and audio sound effects at once. Create layered scenes by configuring ambient background audio sound and lighting effects to set the atmosphere, while playing action effects in the players' lighting zone. Individual volume and loop controls allow you to fine-tune each sound for balance and effect.

STORYBOOK/FULL-SCREEN MODE: Make your presentations come to life with Dramatic's ability to add images to your scenes, creating a living storybook. Or, use full-screen mode for screen-mirroring your scripts with a variety of visual customizations and control modes to fit most use cases.

COMBINE LIGHTING HARDWARE: Dramatic works with any combination of Philips Hue or LIFX lights, and Nanoleaf Light Panels. Audiovisuals and Effects are only supported with Hue Entertainment and Nanoleaf. Other lights are limited to audio and color transitions. Hue Multi-Bridge support allows you to control multiple Entertainment Areas in order to exceed the 10-light limit.

BLUETOOTH REMOTES: Connect to any game controller or media remote to change scenes, manage brightness, or navigate full-screen mode.

CLOUD SERVICES: With Dramatic, you can access your purchases and content from any device. Your content is safely backed up, so you'll never lose your work. You can also collaborate on scripts with others using your Dramatic Cloud account.

### 5/5 — Unreal!

*2023-05-20*

This is an amazing program for creating immersive experiences. I have 3 sets of nanoleaf lights in my salon and was wondering about creating scenes to music for seasonal shows. This is a wonder. My clients are amazed by it and it has saved me so much money on seasonal decorations. Can’t recommend enough.
