That makes sense - that for the tip - i'll have to try it! I didn't really think about free-running a composition itself... i didn't really even know you could do that Thanks David. I was going to revert to this sort of method if i couldn't find any other way around. I have started using QLab with MSC so i can add Midi events to skip to/past the cues too - trying to eliminate the potential clunkiness of manual cue-handling during show. Thanks again. Rob

Hi Nick, If Qlab is simply cuing timeilne advance, then it wouldn't take an extra work (other than setting/timelining the subtitles) i wouldn't think. The work is going to have to be done anyway one way or another. Personally i would use Watchout in this situation unless someone made a really good case against it somehow. Rob

Hi Everyone, I have a loopable video that we use as a hold screen. I would like to find a way to cue progress, but only at the "loop" point. We have a second video that is not loopable, which then runs from the same start view of the hold screen. So when the show is ready to start we want to progress from there but only I would simply set it as non-free running, but we can't predict how long it needs to loop for. So the sequence would be: 1. Free running hold screen. 2. Cue given to progress once hold screen reaches "end of video" instead of looping again. 3. Timeline progresses. I hope that makes sense, and someone can assist? Thanks, Rob

I would try and locate the point of the issue, being hardware or software. I would bring up Blackmagic Media Express and display the feeds that way, and see if you get the same delay. If so, i would think it's a driver (or configuration via their control panel) issue. If not - then start looking at Watchout etc. Just my thoughts. Rob
