Here is a show I'm currently workng on. There are things in it I'm sure you will question. There are definately things I question and that's why I am posting it, for questions and discussion. I can't find helpful answers in the manual so i thought i'd post. About the first half of setting cues I used copy to for repeated cues and changed the labels but then I switched to GoToCue Enter then record with a new cue number. Don't quite know which is a better method.
Anyway here are the topics refering to the PSD:
1) there are a lot of + signs in the Flags column. I know + means discrete timing however I understood that to apply to the Timing section; F C B, I. What do they mean in Flags and of course how to modify them?
2) What are the L Flags for in the mv column?
3) When there is an assigned specific time in F C or B how can that be removed? For instance say there is a time of 3 for Beam but that is no longer wanted.
4) The Dur column, as I understand it, is the total of an assortment of times across the cue. It's unclear how that total is derived as some cues only have a time for Int up (say 5) and the Dur is 5. Some may have Int Up 5 and Color 5, but Dur is still 5. Others may have 5 accross Int Up, F C AND B and Dur is still only 5. When it's important for a cue to run a specific time but the Dur is twice or more in length, the cue then isn't running in that time. So how to find out what specific times are being applied where.
Also I know if a cue is marked that the mark time also needs to run to get fixtures ready for the next cue but for the life of me I can't figure out how to effectively modify that. I checked the settings and Mark timing is disabled. I tried using specific timing for specific marked cues but it didn't seem to change the "dur". What has happened in this show is some cues need to be completed faster than the referenced cue takes to run and mark. I hope this makes sense.
5) There are + signs in the Int Up and Int Down areas. Again I realize this means discrete timing for that part of the cue, but how do I find out what that timing is so it can be modified and what specifically it meant? For example how long was it and was it a Delay?
Any discussion will be much appreciated.
