Buttons/Cuelist

Cuelist

In the cuelist you can build all cues (lighting looks, camera shots, video clips, audio triggers, etc.) in a list format much like a spreadsheet or a simple newsroom rundown. Each row represents a cue, and each cue can execute a number of actions either all together or timed. It can also control the advancement of the cuelist itself.

Cue Properties #

You can give each cue a name and a color.
You can stack as many actions as you like in each cue. They can be  set to execute all at the same time or with individual delay .

Action Group and Action Logic#

When clicking on the +Add Action, you are presented with a selection of recently used actions and a option to create a ActionGroup or Actionlogic.
The ActionGroup lets you group different actions together either for Sequential or Concurrent execution
The ActionLogic lets you make Conditional actions or in other words let you make actions that only executes if certain conditions are met.
For condition, you can use any feedback or use an expression to test a variable for a value.
In this example we test the $(time.hh) variable for a value larger than or equal to 12 on a 24-hour clock.
Or whether the time is after noon giving a true value which will trigger the When true action.
Or before noon giving a false value which will trigger the Else action.
If the time is between 12:00 and 23:59, pressing the button will set the light to 255 or 100%
If the Time is between 00:00 and 11:59. Pressing the button will set the light to 128 or approx 50%. 
This is just a simple example of how you can use ActionLogic, there are many possible uses for conditional logic in execution of actions.
You can also stack multiple ActionLogics testing for different conditions resulting in multiple different actions being executed, if conditions are true.

Cues and Sub Cues #

You can add cues and sub-cues after the currently selected cue by clicking the + Add Cue button.
You can also make a cue, a sub-cue of another cue. By dragging and dropping it on top of the cue you want to make it a sub-cue of.
To reorder cues drag and drop it between the cues where you want to insert the cue. The cuelist will auto renumber on any changes to the order.

Internal Actions.#

There are Internal actions available to navigate the Cuelist, they can be used inside the Cuelist, in a Workflow or in a Position
