Cue Lists
Blue Box
The lower left pane of the main window displays the currently selected Cue List. The
arrow keys will always move the Blue Box between cells. It is with this Blue Box that
you will do most of the cue management, including labeling cues, change cue
properties such as times, inserting follow commands, adding macros, moving and
deleting cues and cue parts.
Labeling a Cue
1. Using the [ARROW KEYS] move the Blue Box to the cell you want to change.
2. Press the [EDIT] button to put the Blue Box into edit mode.
Note:
The QWERTY equivalent of [EDIT] is [INSERT]
3. Type in a new value to completely replace the text highlighted in blue.
Notes:
• After you press [EDIT] and the whole text gets highlighted
, but you only want to change one word, press
the left Arrow Key to unhighlight the cell
and
allow you to move freely around. Delete characters with
[BACKSPACE].
• If you want to make the text BOLD, prepend the label with the
exclamation point "!"
• If you want the text to appear ITALICIZED, prepend the label
with the forward slash "/"
• All "Button" cues or cues with zero time will appear BOLD
automatically in the "Next" column of the Cue List Directory just
to let you know something dramatic is going to happen when
you hit [GO]
4. When you are finished, press [ENTER] to close the edit box.
Tips:
To quickly label a bunch of cues, move the Blue Box to the first cell, press
[EDIT], type in a new label, but rather than pressing [ENTER], press
the Down Arrow Key to move you to the next cell. The cell will
automatically be open for editing.
Changing a Cue's Time
The Cue List has multiple columns for time including Cue Time (which all attributes
will use unless specified), Down Time, Position Time, Color Time, Gobo Time, Lens
Time, Special Time and SMPTE Time. The SMPTE Time does not relate to the fade,
but rather to when the cue should be executed.
