Cue Wizard - version history
Have you visited the main page?
NOV 2024 - v1.09 & v1.10 RELEASED
Changes in v1.09 and v1.10
Clearer dialog boxes, hopefully more intuitive to use!
v1.10 is the first version for QLab 5
Search:
Added: Can now search for cues that route to one file target, or to all files with the same file name
Revised Searching for cues that route to a specific audio output will now detect Fade cues as well
as Audio, Mic, and Video cues
Added: Search for the 'loudest' cues to an output based on the volume of the output fader, the
master fader or a combination of both. The results will be displayed sorted by loudest first. Very
helpful if need to adjust gain structure. Here, loudest means the volume faders are higher. The
contents of the sound file affect the actual volume, but this is not calculated.
v1.10 only: Changed: QLab 5 Network cues are now specified as OSC, UDP, etc in Workspace
Settings > Network rather than in individual cues. There is no way for CueWizard to establish
whether an individual cue is an OSC type cue, or otherwise; so you can’t search for only OSC cues
now, however…
v1.10 only: Added: Search for Audio, MIDI, or Network patches by Name (or Number). This
searches for cues routed to particular outputs, for example to a particular sound card, or a MIDI
interface, or most usefully a Network patch, for example, Rivage Mixer, or General OSC output.
You can name each Network Patch in Workspace Settings > Network > Network Outputs in the far
left column.
v1.10 only: Added: Search for Video cues that route to Video Output Stage Name (or number). If
you have one stage for a full stage projection, and another for a prop TV, you could search for all
cues that route to the Stage named ‘TV’.
v1.10 only: Added: Search for Video cues that have different clock types
v1.10 only: Added: Search for cues that have a start action such as 'fade and stop others' or 'duck
other cues’
v1.10 only: Added: Search for cues that have a second trigger action
v1.10 only: Added: Search for cues that are triggered by a specific hour of the Timecode clock, for
example search for all cues that are triggered by a timecode in the hour 2.
Modify:
Added: Cues can now be modified to be unflagged
Added: Can now reset, copy and move specific audio outputs, for example, “zero” output 7, or
copy volume, gang and crosspoint settings from output 48 to output 7.
Added: Can now adjust master output level, or specific audio outputs by X dB
Added: Additional option to prepend or append the LTC trigger time of a cue to it’s Cue Name,
Number or Notes. There is also an option to scan through and update that text if the LTC trigger
time has been changed.
Known issues:
QLab does not have a mechanism to allow Cue Wizard to find out if a fade cue is active (yellow
faders and crosspoint) or inactive (greyed out). If audio levels of fade cues are modified, you are
encouraged to manually check these cues.
The one thing everyone asks is that “Search for cues that route to audio output” could display the
audio output names as well as the audio output number, but QLab does not have a mechanism to
extract this information via AppleScript.
AppleScript cannot handle “styled” or rich text. Any modifications of Cue Notes will revert into
plain text format.
October 2020 - v1.08 released
Additional Search routines:
Search by MIDI Destination (i.e. which MIDI interface port a MIDI cue is routing to)
Search for cues that target the same file (for example, to identify which cues use the same file)
Search for cues that target files with the same file name (for example, you may be playing the same file but from two different places on your hard drive)
Search by Audio output (eg, which cues route to output 11) now identifies Fade cues as well as Audio, Mic and Video cues
Cues can now be modified to be Unflagged (previously you could only set it to be Flagged, or left as it was)
Updated dependant library and other bits of code for Catalina compatibility
Clearer user interface for first dialogue box to make it more intuitive.
You may need to give Cue Wizard permission to access files and folders / accessibility / automation again.
July 2019 - v1.07 released
Initial release
Because apparently you can’t have too many security tick boxes…
