Hi guys it's Gordon here at Avolites and I'm going to show you the basics on how to build a cue
list inside your console. The logic with Avolites is still true and still valid when working with
cue lists we can grab some lights and tell them what to do so if I tell these lights that I'd like
them to be red and in this position then that's fine that's my first look that I would like in a
cue list so I can tap records to tell the console that I want it to remember some information and
rather than tapping a playback at this point I'm gonna tell the console that I want to create a cue
list using soft key D now if I tap a playback it's not going to put any information in that
playback just yet but it's gonna remember the fact that I'm building a cue list here on my soft keys
I have a number of options that are different the first one being cue number the second one
being cue legend and the third one being append cue a pen cue will make a cue inside this cue
list that I have put on this playback now I can carry on telling my lights to do different things
and already then just by grabbing the lights and telling them what to do and then tapping a
pen key I have made myself a cue list I can even put in any shapes or effects that I'd like to use
if for any reason you have come out of the recording coolest menu this is absolutely fine
because you have told the console that you're recording a cue list inside this playback I can
tap record and I can tap this playback this will give you your recording key list soft keys back
now if I'm done with all this I can clear all that information out of the programmer and I can exit
this record cue list menu now when I bring this play back up this playback is gone from just being
a regular playback to dealing with the total intensity of information coming from this cue
list I've dialed the total intensity up but I have not told the console but I want to fire this first
cue just yet so as soon as I tap go it's going to fire that first cue for me if I carry on tapping
go it's going to fire the next series of cues if I want to put any time information inside this cue
list the nice visual way of working with it is if I say that I'd like to edit the times I can click
on there and this will load up the playback view here you can see that I have some delay ins some
fade in time some fade-out times if I select all of the cues inside here and say - and I'd like
them all to fade out over to seconds as well then now if I fire this cue from this cue list
from the start all of these cues will take two seconds to fade in and two seconds to fade out
one of the commonly asked questions about cue lists is how you can change this play back so
that as soon as you bring it down it's going to let go of all this cue list information and
this is done based on the fader we have three different fader modes when we're working with
cue lists we have killed with off this is just going to set this play back up to deal with the
total intensity of information coming from this cue list you can see currently I am in cue 5 in
this cue list on the bottom right-hand side of the screen if I change this fader to work
as kill as 0 and if I bring this play back up and down it's going to let go of all of
that information it's not going to be in that same cue again the next option that
we have is manual cross fader this means that the time information that we have put inside
this cue list is not relevant anymore because when I perform a full movement of this play
back from naught to zero and from zero to naught it is going to make a transition in
between these cues that we have recorded which gives you some nice level of physical control
one of the other useful options that we have is the loop action in playback options this we can
set up just stop on final cue which means that with this cue list I have five cues I can tap
go as many times as I'd like when I'm in cue 5 and it will still not go back to cue 1 or loop so
that if I'm in cue 5 and I tap go again it will go back to cue 1 there are a number of custom options
inside playback options of cue lists there is also an option to set this one up to fire first cute
this means that as soon as I bring this play back up it will fire the first key in that cue list
that's the basics on how to work with recording cue lists tune in
to the next one where I shall go into some more advanced features
