Hi, all,

I have what is probably a super basic question.

I don't usually use the Control Panel at all because I mostly run my own shows and I just never bother. (I really marvel at the insane Control Panels people make...I've never done anything remotely like that so I'm a real novice when it comes to this side of Izzy.)

I'm in a situation where I designed and directed a show for an undergrad theatre department and my student board op is, uh, disinterested in this job (or me...or life). So I need to make it as easy for her as possible. The Next Cue actor and Scene List are great...but I use a lot of sequential triggers and activated scenes. What's the method to use Next Cue or similar with scenes that have internal triggers and/or activated scenes need to be jumped in the scene list?

It feels silly to ask, but I just can't seem to figure out a good way to do it. 

Thanks!

EDIT: It WAS a silly question; I was being lazy. So I'm connecting a button to my sequential triggers and it works great. Mostly. But for some reason when I have a sequential trigger that is only two outputs the button is skipping the first trigger and going straight to the second one. When I trigger it with the keyboard, which I normally do it works fine and when I manually trigger it also works, just not when I use the button. But if I use the button with a sequential trigger of more than 2 outputs, it works fine. Does anybody know what's going on? 

EDIT EDIT: Nevermind. I figured it out. Switching to toggle in the button. I don't understand what the Momentary is good for though, if anybody wants to enlighten me.

@dusx thanks so much for this The video makes it so much easier for me to understand now  .

 Definitely going to build it in the next project. 

Pretty good for a rough cut by the way

Thank you !!

 I've just logged this as a feature request for the Capture Stage to Movie and Capture Stage to Picture actors :)

 The login for the Add-Ons Page is separate from the forum. Are you trying to log in with your forum account?

Thanks for the tip.

I have cleaned up the file and added some notes etc. I am trying to login in to the Add-ons page but everything I do seems to boot me off.

I have some random distinct memory of there being a thing with the addons page and wordpress. I have searched but I cannot find anything that shines a light here.

Can you advise please?

Things have happened. Mark was responding to the request for renaming inputs/outputs on the JavaScript actor, which is now a feature (there’s a comment at the top of the default code explaining how to do it).

As for my list, I’m finding that making user actors and macros is an easy enough way to name inputs and outputs.

It's a feature request... but a good one. Let's see if we can get it into v2.6.

it is a very old post but nothing new happened in between. I think it would still be highly desirable, especially for actors like set/get global values or data array and more (see Woland list)

Best regards,

@juriaan

Thank you very much, every thing was resolved perfectly.

good question. The Decklink Setup App doesn't give that option, but I will check as soon as I am back in my Studio (unfortunatelly not before friday).

However, I did check earlier my signal I wanted to capture and that leaves the device with 8bit.
