Video Cue Icon – use for video or still images
Fade Icon – use to create a fade up, fade out or animate a parameter of a cue.
CREATING A CUE
Click on the video or audio icon to create a blank video or audio cue. You can also just drag and drop media into the cuelist to create cues.
A red X means there is something wrong with the cue (in this case I have an empty cue with no media).
To delete a cue, highlight it and hit COMMAND DELETE.
AUTO-FOLLOW, GO-WITH
You can easily make cues fire together or fire one after another by clicking in the first right hand column of the cuelist.
Go with. The cue and the one below it will fire at the same time.
AutoFollow. This cue will play through and once done, the one below will begin.
BASIC CUE PROPERTIES
The inspector window, located below the cuelist, holds all of the parameters that you can adjust for any cue.
Display & Geometry
The first tab “Display & Geometry” is where you designate the screen for this cue and it’s Layer. Layer order is very important when working on fading up or fading out video cues (see FADE UP section).
Time & Loops
The next tab is “Time & Loops.” The most important button on this tab is “Hold at end.” If you wish a video file to freeze on the last frame you must click this button. This tab will also let you trim your video or audio clips – this is NOT precise editing.
Audio Levels
The audio levels is where you can adjust the volume of that particular clip and set the routing if there are multiple audio output devices connected. Please note – I recommend you make volume adjustments in Levels NOT in Trim (Audio Trim adjustments are not changed by Fade cues).
Video Effects
You can choose one effect from the drop down list to apply to your video (such as re-coloring).
FADE UP or FADE OUT
Fade cues can animate many properties discussed above. To add a fade cue, click on the
icon.
Once the cue is added you need to drag a target cue to the fade cue. This tells the fade cue what video or audio cue it is fading. I would drag the “Video Cue” to the “?” icon of the fade cue.
Then you need to set what property you are fading. For instance, if I want to fade out the video cue I will click on the fade cue and go down the “Geometry” tab.
To fade out, I click the check box by “Opacity” and set opacity to 0%. If I want the video cue to stop playing after it fades all the way out I will need to check the box by “Stop Target when done”
The finished Fade cue will look like this in the cue list.
