They are either backing tracks audio only , video with audio or video no audio. Most of the cues run through from start to finish - no problem - especially the backing-track-based ones. I have my fades in and out already in the rendered video.
However, there would regularily be pieces where the time was a little less specific, and in these cases, where the video runs on past the end of the set piece I would like to be able to fade it out based on activity onstage.
There are also situations where a fixed image is being displayed for an indeterminate time, and so, on demand based on an on-stage event , I would like to be able to manually start the fade out. Casey put it perfectly above - 'fade the active cue' - yes please Thank you Stewart Bourke. I'm glad I found this group - a recent move to macs forced my change, and like the OP in this topic, all I need to do and it happens very often is stop a cue running when the person on stage signals 'cut', as in when the audience are ready, or he's ready.
SO on my PC system, I'd hit the go button and the background music would run, then perhaps the next cue would be a crash - over the running music bed, then depending on what happens I need to kill the bed. Pretty well everyday stuff for me.
I spent some time looking for a STOP button or key. Obviously there isn't one. I can use the esc key to stop everything, but is there really no stop cue button? Reply to author.

Folks, Very much new to Qlab. Jason Eckenroth. It sounds to me like you're just talking about a simple fade. Jason, Many thanks for the quick reply. Jason Knox. Drag it to change the shape of the curve. Clicking on the curve again to create more control points. The active point will be filled-in yellow circle, and others are yellow outlines.
To delete one, click on it to select it and press the delete key on your keyboard. To start over entirely, click Reset to Default Shape in the bottom left corner of the tab. Check or uncheck the Stop target when done box under the Duration text field depending on whether you would like the target cue to continue playing after the Fade cue is complete, or stop once the Fade is complete. The Levels tab allows you to specify which audio levels you wish to fade, and what their final volume will be.
You can specify a different volume for each level. The right side of the Levels tab looks and behaves like the Matrix Mixer, and will only display as many input channels as exist in the target cue. You can activate or deactivate a control by clicking on it. It will turn yellow when it is active, and grey when it is not. Changing the volume of any slider or knob will automatically activate it.
The volume of an audio level is specified in decibels dBFS. Those limits can be changed in Settings. Click the Gangs button on the left side of the Levels tab to assign gangs to any of the level controls. Each channel in the same gang will be adjusted together when you change the volume of one member of the gang. This is a convenient way to keep track of the levels from which you will be fading.
Click the Set All Silent button on the left side of the Levels tab to return the fade to a pristine state. They are not different. By default, the checkbox next to an effect will be unchecked, meaning that the Fade cue will not adjust parameters of that effect.
To control an effect with the Fade cue, just check box next to the effect. Unlike fading audio levels, there is no way to activate or deactivate individual parameters of an audio effect in a fade.
Thanks to Rich Walsh for the difficult bits of script to move the cues into groups, etc. If you are using an earlier version of QLab, manually set the target of the Fade cue by dragging the Audio cue on top of the Fade cue; Set the master level of the Fade cue to -INF and click the checkbox labeled stop target when done unless you are going to fade the Audio cue back up later.
Set the duration of the Fade cue in the action column or the Curve Shape tab of the inspector. Method 1 - Auto-Continue In the cue list, click in the rightmost column of the Audio cue once, to enable auto-continue. You can type a description of the cue in the Q column of the group cue. Because of this, in the scenario with an eight-channel Audio cue fading amongst ten speakers, very complex fades can be achieved by using simultaneous Fade cues with different active controls, different curve shapes, and different durations.
QLab has a sort of special-case undo command that applies only to Fade cues, called Revert Fade Action. When Revert Fade Action is invoked on a Fade cue after that Fade cue has been run, QLab reverts the levels of the target of the selected Fade cue to whatever they were before the Fade ran except for levels which have been otherwise changed.
That is to say, the only adjustments that are reverted are the ones that the selected Fade cue caused. You can enable or disable an audio control by clicking in it; active controls will be highlighted in yellow. You can enable or disable a video control by checking or unchecking the box next to it. This typically happens when a workspace that uses audio effects is moved from one computer to another, and the new computer does not have the necessary AudioUnit installed.
Either choose a different audio effect, or install the necessary AudioUnit. Show Navigation. Fading Audio A Fade cue can be used to adjust the volume levels and audio effect parameters of a targeted Audio, Video, or Mic cue. When a Fade cue which targets an Audio or Mic cue is selected, five tabs appear in the Inspector: Basics Triggers Curve Shape Levels Audio Effects The Basics and Triggers tabs are the same for all cue types, and you can learn more about them from the page on the Inspector in the General section of this documentation.
Curve Shape The fade curve, drawn in yellow on the right side of the tab, determines the rate of change of the parameters being faded. There are four options for Fade curve shapes. Custom Curve. This option allows you to click anywhere along the fade curve and a create control points, which can b dragged to change the shape of the curve. To delete a control point, click on it to select it and press the delete key on your keyboard.
To start over entirely, click Reset to Default Shape in the bottom left corner of the tab. Parametric Curve. If you choose this option, a text field labeled Intensity appears below the drop-down menu. This allows you to use a mathematically precise parametric fade shape. Linear Curve. This option provides a straight, linear fade curve. Slider domain. The slider domain emulates the design of physical sound consoles, maximizing the useful range of audible levels and making a straight fade sound as smooth and natural as possible.
Decibel domain. The decibel domain uses a logarithmic scale. Linear domain. The linear domain uses a linear scale.
