How do I

[scottm80]

1) Play several images one after the other for a specified amount of time? I can only get the first image to play.

2) Get the bar and beat of the tracks I'm playing to display on seperate lyric screen?

THANKS!

Hi
I run Lyrics screens for musicals concerts. I have found the best way is to use a slidemaker (eg Photostage Slidemaker).
Take a section in the lyrics,paste them as a jpeg image. (typically I have 3-5 images for a song) drop them into the slidemaker software,
(which enables you to time each section according to the track, save them as an av or mp4 video. Then in SCS set up the audio cue and then put the video as a sub cue of the audio and it will run and the lyrics will follow the track. Hope this helps and I'm sure others will do it differently!

Could you email me a diagnostic file? You can create this file by selecting 'Create Diagnostic File' from the drop-down menu displayed when you click the Help button in the main window. The file will be saved in a folder named "SCS Diagnostics" under "Documents". Email the diagnostic file to mike@showcuesystems.com.

Thanks for the diagnostic file. In Q1 you currently have your 5 image set up as separate sub-cues, but for what you want to do these should all be in a single Video/Image sub-cue. See this example from one of my own test cue files:

When you click on the empty thumbnail at the end, the 'File' panel above will be reset to allow you to select another image file (or video), specifying the required display time and transition info.
