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

  • A visualizer, IMO, is more of a personal thing. It all depends on what your needs are from it, and how much you are willing to spend, and in some cases what is available around your area (if you are just looking for visualization studio*).

    Personally I like ESP. The graphics and the reality of it just aren't really matched with any of the other pre-viz programs that i've used (and its the most accessible around me). WYSIWYG is nice because you draw your plot and viz all in one program (depending on what flavor you get). I've only used MSD because i was using a MAXXYZ which has it built in, so for that it made the most sense. I've played with capture for about 5 minutes, so I dont really know much about it.

    The pre-viz studio that I'm talking about is usually a place (maybe owned by your local rental house) where you can rent time and a board to program your show. For what you are doing, this may actually end up to be the best bet for you cost wise.
