hi it's good hit Avolites and I'm going to explain some of the tracking options that we
have inside cue lists inside our cue list view which we can access either by tapping the grey
space in between the legend and the blue swap button above a cue list alternatively we can
tap view and we can tap the blue swap button over a cue list to get this information up on screen we
have a column that is called tracking there's a number of different options inside this tracking
column so that we can make our lives easier and a little bit more efficient the first thing that I
want to show you guys with tracking is in this options tab here we've got a switch which will
turn tracking on or off for the entire cue list we've got also got an additional section which
can deal with shape tracking shapes track differently to other values inside our cue
list so we can turn the shape tracking off we can turn it on or we can turn it just locally to this
specific coolest anyway I'll go back to my cue list B explain a few of these options tracking
we can set individually across every cue inside a cue list what global is going to do is it it
is going to allow any information from cue 1 to carry on going up until we give these likes
and new instructions if I turn some lights on in q1 and I don't do anything with them while
I'm recording cues 2 & 3 those lights are going to stay on because we haven't given them any new
instructions then in cue 4 if I want to turn them off I can select those lights turn them to 0%
intensity and record that information in cue 4 this makes my life a lot easier because alternatively
I'd have to put instructions for those lights in cue 1 cue 2 cue 3 and then later on if I wanted to change
their color or change their position I'd have to update cue 1 cue 2 cue 3 and then still turn off in cue 4 if
I select one or a number of these cells and have a look at my soft keys you can see that I have
some different options the first one is global this is going to keep this information tracking
based on an entire setting over the console I can tell queues but I want them to track specifically
tapped by tapping soft key beat this means that any instructions that I have got in cue 1 are going
to carry on up until I give these lights and new instructions soft key C says block this is really
useful for things like interval States or states in between bands if I've got a block instruction
in this tracking column then any information that is being tracked from beforehand is going
to be stopped at this point and it's not going to carry on going any further solo excluding shapes
is the next one that we have on our soft keys and this is going to display information that
is in this key just inside this cue because it's so low it's going to keep any information that
is being tracked by the console from here and it's going to keep it going afterwards it's just going
to skip over this particular cue it says excluding shapes so this is going to allow shapes that are
being tracked on these cue's here beforehand to carry on tracking through this cue and afterwards
cue only is the next option we have which is going to allow any information that
we have been tracked beforehand to carry on tracking down as you'd expect but the
information that is stored inside this cue is only going to be displayed inside this
cue and this particular piece of information is not going to carry on tracking afterwards
what solo does is it will allow any shapes that being tracked beforehand to skip past this cue so
they won't be displayed in this current key and they'll carry on going after that this is the
same with any other information any information that's being tracked in this example from cues
one to nine we're going to skip cue 10 and go back in to the coming out of the console
from cue 11 the final option that we have is block shapes this is going to carry
on information that's being tracked beforehand to carry on tracking through as you'd expect but
this particular cue is going to stop any shapes from tracking it's going to put a complete stop
in there if I scroll to the right hand side of this window you can see that there is a view
shaped column this is because rather than normal values that we put into our cue lists shapes track
independently you can see on this key list I've got a number of key frame shapes and I've got a
few color and dimmer shapes as well one of the things that is really useful if I have spent a
lot of time building myself up a complex key frame shape and I go okay well I'd I actually
like this key frame shape to appear in cue's 4 5 & 6 rather than trying to make this key frame shape
exactly the same and merging this information in here in here and in here I've got a toggle switch
for each individual shape if I flick that toggle switch to T then that key frame shape is going
to be tracked further forward if I switch it to be then that's going to be blocks so this is where
this key frame shape is going to stop appearing if I've spent an hour two hours whatever it may
be making this key frame shape and I want it to appear in a few more cues I can switch that switch
so it says T and when I want it to stop appearing I can switch it so that it says B this saves me a
lot of valuable time programming you can see in this cue14 I've got a yellow shape running if I
switch that I can switch that as well and you can see that that yellow shape has disappeared that's
because in this particular key I'm blocking any shapes from continuing these two sets of tracking
information work really nicely hand-in-hand you can see in this cue if I say solo any shapes
that have been recorded in here I'm going to skip that and carry on going further forward see
if you've got a basic understanding of these and you make sure that you practice using them you can
save yourself a lot of valuable time editing and working with tracking so based on these options
here by turning tracking off then what it's going to do is it's going to turn tracking off for
this entire cue list that I'm currently working in but using this tracking column and this view
shape column and these great switches I can make editing my cue list and certainly in demanding
show environments make my life a lot easier thank you for watching and tune in for the next video
