GOTO preset

Regarding the LD/SM question - use Sequence Texts. I always think of the label on the Preset as the name of the look - i.e. "Kitchen Day" and the Sequence Text as the context of that look - i.e. "Act 2, Scene 3, Joe Enters".

With sequence texts like those, your board op and SM will always know where they are in the list, and you can reuse and manage Presets as you will.

(And the GOTO List is an excellent tool for jumping around in sequences regardless of whether you reuse presets, as you cannot scroll the playback tab. :-))

I hope this helps -

Thanks-

Re: inserting new or re-using presets without making the SM renumber his entire script--in this case I typically label the sequence steps "LQ 1" or "LQ 5.3" or whatever is needed for the SM...sometimes I'll add more for my own (board op/lighting designer) reference, i.e. "LQ 9.1 AF sunset" or LQ 4 B.O". On the rare occasion someone else is calling the show, they don't need to care what the Preset # or Step # is.

Hello Sarah

"And the GOTO List is an excellent tool for jumping around in sequences regardless of whether you reuse presets, as you cannot scroll the playback tab. :-))"

An open GOTO List is not updating (adding)  the new steps in the list  when I record new steps in the reffering sequence?
Is it like that?

Hi Daniel -

Yes it appears that is true. I will have a chat with Anders about this and see if we can fix it soon.

Thanks!

Sarah
