  • Auto-Continue, Auto-Follow and Pre and Post Wait7:17

    Auto-Continue and Auto-Follow, matched with Pre and Post Wait allow you to automate your cue stack. You can press Go and you can trigger a number of cues, automatically, timed exactly how you want them to be, so they sound where you need them, without you having to continue to press Go for each one. This is a great tool to know and understand.

  • Arm and Disarm Cues2:50

    In this final session, you will see how to arm and disarm cues. Another short and simple task, but if you are working with a director and they want to cut a cue from your cue stack, instead of deleting it, you can disarm it, then if they change their mind, it is still in your cue stack and easy to arm for use again.
