Importing and Modifying Cue Lists

Hey all,

So i'm afraid that I might already know the answer to this question, but I was hoping someone would have an idea for how I might be able to solve this problem. For my last show, I wrote a bunch of complicated ML Test cue lists so that I could just hit the Go button and all of the MLs in the show would go through a programmed test routine. I made a different list for each fixture type, and every cue is linked and looped back to the beginning.

Now I'd like to import these cue lists into a new show, however the problem is that the channels and patch are now different. For example, if my MLs were channels 601-610 in my last show, now they're something like 350-355 plus 375 or whatever. The fixture profiles are the same, but that's it. Is there any way I can import my old cue list and move all values of a particular channel in a given cue list over to a different channel?

Thanks in advance!

  • Hey Michael,

    You can't do this in one fell swoop, you'll need to:

    a) add dummy channels 601-610 into your current showfile with the appropriate fixture type before you merge the checkout list from the old show

    or

    b) Move the channels 601-610 to the 350-355 range in the old showfile before merging the list

    I have checkout lists that live with my template showfile, and the way I get around the disparate channels is to have a dummy channel for each fixture type (up in the 9000s) and then just [Copy To] that dummy channel to the appropriate channels in the whole list. 

    Hope that helps.
