Cue Specifications To open a cue’s specifications dialog box, select the cue and choose “Specifications” on the Edit menu, or simply double-click the cue. The time of this cue along the timeline. The initial position of this cue’s media on stage. The duration of this cue along the timeline. Displays associated item in the Media window. Initial Media Position The values in this area determine the initial stage location of the top left corner of the media controlled by this cue, relative to the top left corner of the Stage window. For cues without a position tween track, this is the static position of the media on stage. For cues that have a position tween track, this is the initial position, which is then modified by the tween track. ◆ HINT: When changing the initial media position of a cue that has a position tween track – either by dragging the image in the Stage window or through the Cue Specifications dialog box – all other positions will be offset in the same way. This can be used to clone a move at another stage position by first copying the cue and then changing the initial position of the duplicate. 140 Chapter 12: Cues
Tween Tracks Tween tracks allow you to control the appearance of media on stage over time. Depending on the type of media associated with the cue, you can add one or more of the following tween track types: • Opacity, applies to moving and still images (see “Opacity” on page 99). • Position, applies to moving and still images (see “Position” on page 99). • Volume, applies to audio and moving images with embedded audio (see “Volume” on page 99). Click the yellow triangle of a selected cue to add or remove applicable tween tracks. See “Tween Tracks” on page 96 for more details on how to use tween tracks. Chapter 12: Cues 141
