Show Cue System

Hi, I'm a long long time SCS user, currently working on a show where the only cues are video image cues. Pretty simple, 5 cues. Projecting onto a smaller surface, so the image needs scaled and positioned. Here's the issue: I set the x-position, the y-position, and the scale for each image. Simple 13...

Yeah, if you read the original post - I was requesting info on a SEPARATE video playback/control suite. I too, would prefer to keep these systems separate. A lot of lighting systems are also trying to intergrate basic sound and video playback, but I think that is a bad idea. First of all, bigger sho...

To be clear - I was never asking for all of that functionality from SCS 10. While I do think it's great that SCS will have limited video playback features, and that will work fine for most people, what I was asking for was advice on what other people were using to do was I was already doing, but bet...

I'm going to have to disagree with you here. Photodex ProShow Presenter does most of the things I'm looking for, it's just the the GUI isn't really set-up with theatrical productions in mind. Even powerpoint does a lot of these same things, I just hate that interface. Most theatres other than large ...

Currently - I need 3 outputs for 3 screens, but even if a control program only had one output, but had the option of network control (1 computer for each output - controlled by one master computer), that would be ideal. Having the ability to display, and manipulate images would be key. Resizing, lay...

I am currently using Photodex ProShow, but it is really not set up for theatrical-based productions, and in some ways powerpoint is actually better.

Maybe I should just find some college computer geeks, pay them in beer, and develop one myself.

Hey everyone, I'm doing a show on a tight budget that involves multiple video projections. SOOOO, I'm looking for an affordable control software that allows CUE-BASED playback of images and video. Basically I'm looking for the image/video equivalent of SCS. And I DON'T MEAN POWERPOINT. I've been loo...

Yes, both pause and mute cues could have similar uses, though different approaches. Worth considering, I think.

I had an idea the other night, for a new cue type - let's call it a "mute" cue. I'll try to describe it... Let's say you have one or more sound cues/files already running. Then, at the touch of the GO button, you simultaneously "mute" or "unmute" the sounds/files you choose. The files keep running, ...

A lot of times I start a cue list from an old cue list, especially since I do an episodic show - so a lot of the cues stay the same. This has inspired me to request a couple of features that would be extremely helpful to that end. Anyway, it would be really helpful to be able to import a specific CU...

dougs, an inexpensive option for a laptop is any one of a number of products by Edirol. The have relatively cheap ($80 US) USB to audio in and out, and some more expensive ones with more options and midi in/out. I currently use 2 different Edirol products: The UA-1A and the UA-1X. Luckily, my system...

Well, you could easily trigger one cue at 10 minutes, with the 5 minute and 2 minute announcements as linked follow cues. Then you are only hitting the button one time. Personally, I think this option is better than anything auto-triggering by itself based on a perceived time of day. Sometimes it it...

Mike, I appreciate the recent work you've done on fades, though now that I've used it a bit, I still have some feedback/concerns. Fade-outs seem better, but there still is a drop off at the end (somebody else called it dropping off a cliff) of a fade, that doesn't seem to be there during fade-ins. T...

Awesome!
