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

    I consider us to be very lucky to have users who are brilliant and generous with their skills. I get an email every time anyone posts anything on the forums and I tend to spend too much time here, yet there are a select few people who consistently respond to posts before I do and give an answer at least as good as I do.

    We try very hard to foster this kind of environment. We don't do much moderating of what gets said or steering of discussions to HES-friendly topics. We try to be very honest about our strengths and weaknesses and we take user requests and opinions very seriously when we decide where to focus our development efforts.

    Now, on the visualizer topic, there are great options and the choice will depend on your personal needs. Assuming money is no object, I'd probably go with either ESP Vision or WYSIWYG. WYSIWYG has the advantage or being able to draft and run some nice reports, but ESP Vision has absolutely the highest quality visualization on the market, in my not-so-humble opinion. WYSIWYG will work for doing accurate positions and basic colors and gobos, while I feel that ESP allows me to much more accurately pre-cue complete scenes, even with intensities.

    I'd suggest taking a look at each of the visualizer manufacturer's websites, taking a look at what support and forums they offer, and looking for the opinions of others in places like the LightNetwork (www.lightnetwork.com).

    I hope this helps.
