Copying Scenes to Cue Lists

Hi Folks:

I suspect this is a newbish question, but im not sure how to go about this. I have been through the manual section about scenes and cuelists and I have created a couple of scenes in my scene directory. I would like to be able to take my scenes and copy them - in a specific order to a cue list so that i can assemble a cuelist to run a service.

Im not sure if im attempting to do this the right way, or if there is a better approach. I am WIDE open to any / all suggestions of the right way to do this.

What I want to achieve is this: I would like to assemble a library of pre-defined "Looks" (some people call them cues, or scenes or presets) so that I can (ideally) either call them directly during a service, or assemble them into a cuelist to attach to a master so that the service can be run by hitting the GO key at the appropriate time (with the use of masters possibly for over-rides).

I initially thought that constructing my scenes (looks / whatever) in the scene directory was the way to go and then either playing them directly from there or copying them into a cue list, but its not working (they dont seem to arrive in the cue list) so im not sure where to go from here

I can gladly supply more info, if I've not been clear here

Thanks to all

    Tim,

    It definitely sounds like you're getting the idea. You could certainly make your mark cues autofollow your fade out cues, but you probably don't want to make your fade out cues autofollow your primary look cues. If you do, your primary look cue will run and fade up your gobo fixtures and as soon as it completes, they will fade back out. You'll need to run the fade out cue manually when that "scene" is done to prepare for the next scene.

    I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying Hog 3PC. Keep in mind that it can hook directly via Ethernet to the most common visualizer applications (ESP Vision, WYSIWYG, Capture, and MSD), so you could work offline and actually see what you're doing.

    All of us were newbies once, too. Please continue to ask any questions that come to mind and don't hesitate to make suggestions. People coming from different consoles and experiences often have a much better perspective about what's not intuitive in the software than those of us who work on it every day of our lives. They also tend to have some good ideas based on their experiences with other consoles. The worst that could happen is that you'd learn that you're doing something the hard way and we'd give you some better options.

    Thanks.
