The Sequencer automates multi-step digitization workflows by chaining actions into a linear sequence, executed with a single button press, foot pedal\*, or keyboard shortcut. Rather than manually triggering a capture and then independently running exports, switching light presets, reading barcodes, or applying metadata, you define that pipeline once and replay it hands-free.

The Sequencer is available under the Capture tab. Sequences can be saved and loaded as presets from the `[⋮]` menu, and preset files are accessible on disk via `File > Show Presets Folder`.

\*Use of a foot pedal requires the foot pedal is plugged into a DT Stellar family lighting light.

### Requirements

- DT Nexus Trial or Enterprise license
- Capture One must be running for all capture and export actions
- DT Stellar required for actions that involve light presets, Fusion capture, or Blue capture
