Timecode in CUE buttons
Posted: July 30th, 2019, 8:15 pm
Hi,
How are you?
I will appreciate your help with the following issue:
What I would like to do:
1. Create a number of chases (sequences) with 1 to N steps each, in the sequence editor.
2. Load them into a cue list in a certain order
3. Assign a timecode value to each of them, so they execute sequentially (that is one at a time) for the time set in the timecode, and then the next sequence, until the last one in the cue list.
4. Save this cue list to a button
5. Execute the cue list using the button, and get the desired behaviour
What I'm getting :
Until step 3 everything is OK. I can create and execute the cue list with the sequences I have previously created in the sequence editor, then execute the list from the cue window using the Start button, and it behaves perfectly; each line (sequence) executes one a time, in the given order, with the correct colors, fades, durations, etc. then it automatically goes to next line (sequence) and so on until the last one.
BUT, once I save them to the button the following happens :
I press the button and all sequences from the cue, load and execute in parallel (at the same time), so defeating the purpose of the timecode. In summary what happens is that the last sequence in the cue takes precedence, and it becomes the only thing you see.
Is this the expected behaviour?
If it is, well ... it's sad news, because this is the simplest and more flexible way to sync with a song (unlike the sequence editor in which you have to add and substract time from each step in order to make things fit).
If it is not, pleeeease help me find out how to make it work as described above.
Thank you very much!!
Best regards!!
