Automator - Connecting and Transferring Projects | MUSE
In this video, you’ll learn the essential workflow for connecting to an AMX MUSE controller and managing your projects in MUSE Automator. We’ll walk through configuring the Controller node, establishing communication with your system, and understanding how local deployment works. You’ll also explore the critical differences between Deploy, Push, and Pull, so you can confidently move projects between your computer and the controller. By the end, you’ll have a clear and reliable process for managing and transferring your Automator projects.
What You’ll Learn:
• Configuring the Controller node in MUSE Automator
• Establishing communication with a MUSE controller
• Understanding local flow deployment
• The differences between Deploy, Push, and Pull
• Transferring projects between your PC and controller
• Best practices for safe and efficient project management

Hello, and welcome to this video on using Import and Export in Muse Automator. At a high level, exporting lets you take nodes or flows from the editor and copy them out as JSON text. Importing lets you paste that JSON back into Muse Automator to recreate the same nodes and connections.
This can be done for a single node, a group of nodes, an entire flow tab, or a whole project. Let’s start by exporting a simple flow. First, make sure you have a flow on the canvas. For this example, we’ll assume you already have a small flow, something like an Inject node wired to a Debug node.
To export nodes, Select the nodes you want to export by either clicking and dragging a box around the nodes or holding shift while clicking each node individually. Once the nodes are selected, rightclick anywhere on one of the selected nodes . From the menu, choose Export.
A new window will open showing a block of JSON text. At the top of the Export window, you’ll see options for what to export, either selected nodes, current flow, or all flows. For this example, we’ll leave it set to Selected nodes but if you want to export your entire project you would click the All Flows option.
Click the Download button, choose the location you want to save the file, give the file a name, and press Save. Your flow has now been saved to the location that you selected.
Next, let’s look at how to import a flow back into Muse Automator. Open the Muse Automator hamburger menu in the topright corner and select Import . You now have the option to paste from your clipboard, or you can select a file to import. For this example, we will choose Select a file to import and then open the file that we previously exported. You should now see the json data populated in the import window.
Choose Import to New Flow and then click Import. After clicking Import, the nodes will appear on your canvas. You may need to move them into position, but all connections and settings will be preserved. It’s important to remember that importing nodes does not automatically make them run. We need to Deploy the project in order to have those nodes work.
