Re: Sound cues randomly taken without pressing go

I would turn the computer off and then run your fingers up and down the keyboard, exercise and loosen any partially keys. If really dirty, spray some electrical contact cleaner under them, re-exercise and give them a darn good puff with an air jet cleaner. Another suspect would be any mouse attached...

Linux

Any plans to run SCS under Linux? We run on a Windows 10 laptop and it frightens the heck out of me. Every time we turn the darn thing on we get a "Wait For Updates" and if its ben a few days those updates can take along time. I need to start the computer at least an hour before a show just in case....

Re: Two Projectors

I am sorry - been busy but meant to own up to my own stupidity. I had the front Cyc halfway down and the back one all the way down so that I could observe both screens at same time. The clip I was whining about was very dark (Addams Family) and mostly located in the bottom half of the screen! Hence ...

Re: Two Projectors

Some experience now with two projectors during rehearsals and to be honest I'm somewhat nervous. I think originally designed for audio cues I'm not sure if SCS is entirely happy with lots of video content. We're showing about 25 animated clips. They range from 3 to 10 seconds long and all are looped...

Re: Two Projectors

Thank you. I will certainly look into this. One big concern I have is that, if either our ViewSonic or Optoma projectors is showing only black for a while it will shut off. To bypass this we usually show a picture that is completely black except for a tiny dark purple square in a bottom corner. It s...

Re: Two Projectors

Took a look. But have a question: Currently I have multiple video cues, some on one projector and some on another projector. During scene changes we want to black out. The way that I have been doing this is to insert between my video cues a simple image cue with a "black" picture. And I ensure that ...

Re: Two Projectors

It looks like I have to learn about SFR sub-cues I guess. In fact I know very little about sub cues so it will be a good exercise but with a show starting in a week I won't tamper with it yet!

Two Projectors

Running both front and rear cyc animations from a laptop with a native hdmi and usb/hdmi adaptor works a treat. We send several animated videos to one projector on back cyc then lower front cyc and use that for a while. When one projector is in use the other one should be blacked out. Which brings u...

Re: Progress Bars

Well I have been diligently searching the display options and documentation hence my post. And, I do agree with you that if one changes the splitter bar - it should be there next time up. But it isn't hence my post

Progress Bars

When SCS11 opens there are 4 progress bars at the bottom of the screen. When a new cue is initiated, the change over from active to next up and so on causes these to move and change colour (as expected) but it can be distracting and cause some screen flutter. I like to drag the bottom panels top bor...
