Description:
Display a visible count or indicator showing how many Follow Actions are assigned to a widget (e.g. a clip, button, or control surface element). This would make it easier to manage, audit, and debug complex setups with multiple automated behaviors.
Problem:
Currently, there is no visual indication of how many Follow Actions are attached to a widget unless the user opens the Follow Actions panel for each one individually. In large sessions with many widgets and complex routing, this becomes tedious and error-prone. Users may forget about active Follow Actions or unintentionally trigger unexpected behavior.
Proposed Solution:
  • Show a small badge or number overlay on each widget that has Follow Actions assigned
  • The number indicates how many actions are currently active for that widget
  • Tooltip or hover/press could optionally list the types or targets of the Follow Actions
  • Could be enabled/disabled as a UI preference (e.g. “Show Follow Action Count”)
Benefits:
  • Makes complex sessions easier to understand and debug at a glance
  • Reduces accidental triggering of hidden behaviors
  • Saves time during setup and live performance by making automation visible
  • Encourages better organization and modular thinking for power users
Examples:
  • A widget shows a small “3” indicating it triggers 3 Follow Actions
  • Tap and hold to reveal a quick view of assigned actions
  • Visually audit which clips still have automation attached before exporting a scene
