Jump a cue back in time while playing and start again from there

[Erik Rietman]

Hi,

Is there a way to create a cue which jumps another cue (video or audio) back in time (for example 5 minutes) during playback of that specific cue and (re)start that from there?

To be more clear:

• cue 1 is playing
  
• cue 2 is jumping cue 1 back in time and starts cue 1 from there.

Grtz,

Erik

Put this in a script cue and set the target cue number and the skip time in the top of the script:

--Script to Skip forward or backward in a cue

set thetarget to 1 --set target cue 

set theskiptime to -3 --set skip time here in seconds (minus  for skipback )

--do not alter anything below this line

set thetarget to thetarget as string

tell application id "com.figure53.qlab.3" to tell front workspace

set thecurrentTime to (action elapsed of cue thetarget)

stop cue thetarget

delay 0.01

load (cue thetarget) time (thecurrentTime + theskiptime)

start cue thetarget

end tell

You can also do a small variation on this script to make it work on the currently selected cue

--Hotkey Script to Skip forward or backward in selected cue

set theskiptime to -3 --set skip time here in seconds (minus  for skipback )

tell application id "com.figure53.qlab.3" to tell front workspace

set thetarget to last item of (selected as list)

set thecurrentTime to (action elapsed of thetarget)

stop thetarget

delay 0.01

load thetarget time (thecurrentTime + theskiptime)

start thetarget

end tell

This means you can put it on hotkeys for Rewind  and  Fast Forward in any cue as in the attached example

Interestingly, both these methods work on group cues as well.

This shows that although group cues don't officially have a duration they do in fact have an elapsed time.

Thanks Mic for the effort! Nice to see that it works on group cues as well. It's great addition to the whole qlab list we've put together so far.
