Programming question for a noob

Not sure how to do the following: (self taught and new to the Element) I am running a pageant and want to play with some movers a little. What is the best way to set this up? In reading, it seems like I can set up a cue stack and then trigger it? Is this the best way to approach this? Thinking something along the lines of American Idol when someone takes the stage... Would I be able to set up a submaster for this our would I have to trigger some other way?

I want several "steps" in the sequence, so was thinking that each step would be a cue- then play through and freeze on the final cue that looked the same as the first cue- so that I could hit a button and it would do the flourish and return to "home" and wait for the next time it was triggered.

Am I on the right track?

Thank you!

    One other simple thing you can do is record focus pallets for standard positions of the movers and then do something as simple as

    Group 1 Sneak 5 Focus Pallet 1

    And assuming those movers were in Group 1 they would track over 5 seconds to that position.

    Record those commands in some macros and then fire them either by entering macro 1 etc or to make it really easy stick some buttons on a magic sheet and label them thing like "slow up" "fast back" "med blind" "slow cross" whatever and you can just click away without needing to remember much when probably lots of things are happening too adlib anyway.
