Scroller and mover tracking paperwork

Is there a way to print a selected set of channels/attributes in either a spreadsheet layout or restricted to moves only?  For example, I'd ultimately like to generate a list of all scroller moves in a table, with a row for each cue where there is a move or mark and a column for each channel with a scroller.  Another table would look at moving light intensities and marks.  Another would look at focus palette moves.

 Alternatively, the ability to export a selection of cues and channels into some sort of delimited text file for import into a spreadsheet application could be quite useful.

Thanks,

Josh 

  • Josh, right now, when you print out cues you will by default only print the move instructions.  We are adding an option in an upcoming release to print the tracked values as well.   Here's the thing... everyone wants print outs in a different manner, sorted differently, etc.  And just as you suggested, look for export functions shortly that let you pull the information into the spreadsheet program of your choice and organize the data any way you want!!

    Thanks much for the input.

    Thanks, Anne.

    I'm excited to hear about the export functions!

    Is there a way to limit the channels in a cue printout, the way the Obsession can print by groups or by Flexichannel layout?  I could only figure out how to limit the cue range, and print functions haven't made it into the manual yet.

    Anne,

    I would like to add my two cents worth. I am thrilled and excited to hear you will be adding export functions and options in the (?near?) future. I am interested in the ability to export cues (and patch) to an ASCII file without any Parameter information ($$Param, $$TimeColor, $$TimePostion,$$TimeGraphic, etc). My goal is to be able to export an ASCII file that can migrate cues to a lower end board (such as an Insight, Express/Expression, etc) that does not address parameters WITHOUT having to "massage" the ASCII file to do so.

    This is something that needs to be done more than one might think. Many of us work for small companies that may take a show to various venues with differing equipment and boards. We are not in a position to travel with our own equipment and must rely on the equipment at the venue. It is extremely advantageous to have the cues prepped on a disc that we can load into their board. Currently I have to jump through all sorts of hoops and ring many bells and whistles to get the EOS ASCII file to play well with anything else.

    Thanks!

    Scott
