Using MS Powerpoint from Run Program Q gives flash of blue prog opening screen. Can this be avoided?

HI all. Not used the Run Program cue before and I have problem. This is: I'm using SCS to project a few images on Screen 2. Then I want to open Powerpoint to run a sequence where slides move in and out of the screen as if running from a slide projector. Unfortunately, as Powerpoint opens it gives a ...

Using Powerpoint... how do I set the monitor output to a second (or third) screen

Hi I'm trying (for the first time) to use a Run External Program cue to run a slideshow in Powerpoint. I want the slideshow to go to Screen 2, after several .jpg files are seen on Screen2. These work easily, and the cuesheet in Editor has a screen selection button on it. How do I specify the screen ...

Importing cues from one show to another

I'm having trouble importing a set of cues from an old show into a new one ~(I wish to demonstrate what can be done within SCS and wish to import a particularly nice sequences= of audio cues). Going into Import cues in the Editor, get the screen asking which show (browse to show, select SCS file etc...

Re: Plane fly over, how to do?

Hi Geoff, I do sound for a small amateur theatre in Wilmslow (England) which is a theatre "in the round". This sort of effect we use all the time. The last show to do so was "The Lady Killers", after the old Ealing Film comedy. Lots of trains passing the house where the play is set being central to ...

Level envelopes and default standard level points

Hi Mike I really love the level envelopes with standard level points. I use them to draw in movement of fx within the in-the-round theatre I work in. So I draw level rises and falls on various device outputs, varying outputs with time. Is it possible to set a level point for a given device output th...

Re: erratically dropping audio from M-audio Fast Track Ultra

Thanks Mike. This is a really weird one as you say and I'm not even sure if it will reproduce when I run the trace. As I'm in the middle of the show (which failed to knock things over in the closing scene last night as the MIDI output setting had got lost and the commands "failed to send") I'm going...

Hi On my current show I am running the latest SCS, using an MAudio FW410 (Firewire) and an MAudio Fasttrack Ultra 8 (USB), with 13 audio outputs. 45 sound cues, 2 video cues (MP4, video and sound to a TV on stage) and 12 Midi cues operating a midi to relay board firing solenoids off to knock items o...

Change audio level in video Qs

I am using a video Q to feed a TV on stage and want to change the audio level, leaving the video running. Adding a level change Q just brings up a"memory access" error message. I am using the Realtek speaker option on my Mac Pro (OSX 7) , running Win7 in boot camp. Any ideas how to adjust audio leve...

(Fix 11.4.0.3] Audio fade ins starting with a burst of sound

Hi. Can anyone explain this... When moving the start point of an audio track into the track, then fading up using ANY system I can find (trying to draw a fade up in the graph window, setting a start time and fade in time etc) there always seems to be a very short burst of full level audio released b...

Re: Inclusion of free text in Notes cue's

Hi Mike The memo cues in 2-5 are a really useful addition. Nice one! Is there any possibility of the font formatting being retained from q to q? At the moment it seems to revert to Arial 9pt when I start writing a new cue..... If it returned to a selectable default font style / size / colour and bac...

Re: Video preview on main screen

Many thanks for the (as usual) very prompt reply Mike. The last idea (using the Special Start screen) cleared the problem... I hadn't found that in the help file and perhaps wouldn't have thought of it... I had no trouble 'starting' the program!!!

11.2.5. seems pretty excellent......
Cheers

[Resolved] Video preview on main screen

Hi Mike, I'm now running 11.2.5 which in general seems excellent but have had a few problems..... The video preview on the main run screen has disappeared and can I get it back??? No! The second screen output is fine on the projector but the lack of the preview on the main screen is disconcerting. I...
