Editing Artist Help:Workspace Cues

Cues are the method of system playback. All other items are accessible through cues. A cue can be assigned fade in, hold and fade out times assigned using the Cue Control Panel. The objects contained within a cue are acted upon in different ways depending on what type of object they are.   

=== Activating Cues ===

Cues are activated in a variety of ways.

The hold times are normally greyed out since they are only used when the Seq mode is active or if Force Hold Times is checked in the Cue Control Panel.

When a cue is activated the times display a bar graph that dynamically indicates the progress of the fade.

=== The Group bar ===

The bar at the top of the view contains a combo box which is used to select the Cue List.

This bar will display a red asterisk if the contents of the view are added to or altered in anyway indicating that the file must be saved if the changes are to be retained.
