Timecode Triggers-Help/Suggestion Hog3PCb.1112

I'm currently working on Hog3PC,
b.1112
Programming Wing
17" LCD
17" touchscreen
XP Home SP2

and sychronizing a 47 minute dance show with timecode. We have 14 songs and about 50-90 cues a song. Almost all of the cues are run with timecode. I'm working with the designer and we're playing back the track until we get to the right spot in the song and then he stops playback. At that point we build our look/make our changes and I record the cue and then...manually enter the timecode. Am I missing something, is there an option to record the cue WITH the timecode in the wait column, I can't seem to find it. I'm a pretty fast guy at the keyboard, but x/xx/xx.xx (eleven keystrokes!!) is a pain in the ass to type every minute and a half, even with a Programming Wing.
Thanks all,
Dave

    Hey, hey hey... no yelling at Bradley... he's a very hard working guy and has alot on his plate.

    Coming from a guy who has effed :finger: up more TC code events then many other people out there have programmed... I personally see this as a serious waste of code writers time.... :aargh4:

    pressing set and xx:xx:xx.xx on the programming wing 10 key takes about a second... trust me... i have written hundreds of thousands of cues that are frames apart.... quit ur bitchin.:17:

    Here's the work around ... for each song... pre-record about 100 cues or about how many ever you think your going to need.... just "record+choose" like 100 times....

    now... type in the pre-roll time into the first cue, so like if your starting at 01:00:00;00 type in 00:59:45:00 and then sit in this cue......

    Now, have your LD play the track.... make sure the list is set to follow TC and that learn timing is turned on... when he stops the track.... all you do is press play. and the TC which is sitting in the TC tool bar up top is then snapshoted into the wait time list... now sit and build your cue... then move on and repeat...

    Now youll need to make sure you dont have self-gen turned on, and that the other setting I forget what its called off the top of my head but its the setting that will allow you to set how many frames where it continues to run after stopping... is set to 0.
