[LOGGED] More Cue Based Options?

cambrucedavis

Hi all,

I would love a little more sophistication of how to deal with internal cues. Right now, there are times that I need to build multiple cues within a single scene. I will use a sequential trigger to sequentially fire the internal cues and then a jump when ready to go onto the next cue. I've nothing against this, it works well, but I would love it if there was a way to incorporate that into the Isadora Cue Numbering system.

Perhaps a Cue Actor (or Trigger Cue Actor) of some sort (perhaps something that uses the new address method that is similar to the OSC address?) If there was a Cue Actor that could go into a scene and then maybe add multiple cue numbers to the scene / and the scene select in the control panel (maybe they live tabbed in under the scene they live in) then you could better identify internal cues.

This could be useful also when using Midi Show Control or the Jump to Cue actor as you could trigger a cue that may be part of a sequence of cues that lives inside a scene.

Also, I'd love an Activate Cue Actor. Working like the Activate scene, but with the Cue Number function of the Jump to Cue Actor. Would be a useful way to activate background scenes without having to know where exactly they live in your cue stack.

Thanks so much,

Cheers,

Cam.

You might check the cue sheet system (Manual Page 163 following).

I for a long time underestimated it and it might be a bit confusing at first, but in the end it is a powerfull tool.

For a first intro: Every scene will contain it's own cue sheet with as many cues you like to have.
For every cue, one trigger by the default trigger key (e.g space), Isadora simulates a custom button press, which is defined for every single cue in the sheet separatly and might trigger an action inside the scene patch (eg. by key watch actor).

Beside that, it always is worth a forum search, for what others came up with impressive solutions.

We also put out a YouTube video covering the basics of using the Cue Sheet system recently:
