Recording a Cue only cue in Tracking mode

To the best of my understanding if you are in tracking mode and you want to record a 'cue-only' cue you deselect forward. My question is how do you record a blank cue after that. Example, Cue 1 I have stage wash up, and cue 2 I record 'cue only' for a video look. On strand boards I would record a blank cue after that and it would transition out all my cue 2 changes.
I would like to be able to do this so that 10 video rolls into rehearsal I notice that SR is a little darker than the rest of the stage, so I record SR a little brighter and track back. If I have a blank cue after each video it would track all the way back to where it was recorded. However, if I have to set levels in each restore cue then I'd have to go back and fix that dark spot in every cue.

    [QUOTE=chadl;50900]Kevin, those are great idea's and almost gets me to what I'm looking for. The only flaw is that if I choose to add a channel or remove a channel, I'd still have to go back into each cue and change that.

    Hmm...that does present a problem. How about you try creating scenes for your stage look and your video look. Then in your cue list make blank cues and use macros to launch the respective scenes. The advantage for this is that you just have to update your scene with whatever you need to create that particular look including fixtures. The disadvantage comes in juggling the two scenes especially if the two scenes don't have the exact same fixtures in them. If they do, when one executes the other will release. If they don't then you will most likely have to execute your stage scene and release your video scene in one comment macro and vice versa.

    This might all be much more leg work than the solution you are looking for but I'm just trying to think of different ways to accomplish what you are trying to achieve.
