Neil, I appreciate the advice. Other questions for you, how are you asking stage managers to call cues? Do you give them cue #'s or names? For example, "standby light 53, IR 46 & WATCHOUT 38" ? Do you label your aux timelines or control cues by the cue # so you can quickly find the proper cue based on a showflow/Q2Q? Thanks!

I was wondering what the most efficient form of executing a show via cues would be. I primarily work in corporate events where there is a stage manager who is calling screen presets (watch out cues). I have of course read the manuals and I know watchout offers flexibility with aux timelines, comps and control cues. I was simply wondering what everyones experience has suggested the best way to handle sequential cues. Should I build a linear timeline with pause and play cues, or stack a bunch of aux timelines. Thanks
