Note that this group fires everything simultaneously (noted by the green square borders).If I am designing video and there is a walk-in look, that also gets fired in here.If I am controlling lighting, I will throw an MSC cue in here as well to control the lighting board.One last volume adjustment that I laid out in a prior post.Cleans up any extraneous files from the prior show – show report logs and whatever other things I deem “cruft” at the end of the prior show in the case of multiple performances.This what runs just before the house opens If there are problems, you can chase them down elsewhere but by the time the show opens, this process should be refined and hopefully all you need is confirmation that things are working. But at the same time, I want to make sure the operator remembers to do it. All of this gets laid out in a separate Cue List because I don’t want all of that cluttering my show interface. First I have my sound and video check cues. Here, I am already referring to my other Cue Lists. In this “Act 1” playlist, I have the following already set up: So whether or not this is a play with an Intermission or a concert, “Act 1″ is where I have to start, adding cue lists as necessary. As such, I like to break up my work by Act if there is an Intermission. Theatre shows are, more often, the more involved programming jobs, at least in terms of organization and timing. The template that I use to start programming my shows has five different Cue Lists, right off the bat: So it’s ok to gloss over a lot of this if you are still new to Qlab. It is going to get deep, quickly – but don’t worry, the things you see will all be broken down in future posts. The following dive into my creative process will show you a number of scripts and tricks that I will be highlighting and explaining in future posts. With basics in place, I could focus on making/finding new stuff. While repetition is key, I was able to do bigger and better things if I didn’t have to keep reconstructing the more basic elements. I found this also helped me learn more about QLab, faster. It isn’t cluttered with EVERYTHING I’ve learned, just something to help me hit the ground running. I created a template that I use to start all of my shows, and contains the most commonly used scripts of mine. Speed up your workflow – and your learning in QLab – by making a template. What’s in my Qlab show template? (Templates, part 2)
