Artist Help:Creating Cues

From ShowCAD Wiki

When programming you should have the Program Control window open. This displays the cue storing functions.

To store a cue[edit]

set the fixtures using the Fixtures view and the Fixture Control Panel

select a cue list in the 'Cue Programming' section of the Program Control window where the cue will be created.

click on 'New Cue'. This will open the Program Data window.

click 'Save'.

This cue is now stored and can be view from the Cue List View or Cue Tab on the Navigator window.

Adding Scenes[edit]

You can add scenes to a cue simply by activating the scene and, from the Program control window, clicking Store or New. All the properties of the scenes, such chase pattern, level, speed etc., are stored in the cue. This means that when the cue is played back it sets the properties of the scenes.

The way in which the scene responds to the fade in and out of the cue can be set in the same way as with the fixture parameters, by setting the attributes from the link object in the Cue navigator window.
