Projection Leaves Screen Black During Cues
Leonardo Lopez
I'm working on a theater production where I'm in charge of the audio cues and a projection that kicks off the show. Here's the problem: I start the projection, then fade it out and stop it before triggering the following audio cue. But after the video ends, my screen just stays black. I can't see the cue list for the rest of the show, which is a big issue. The only way to fix it is by pressing the panic button (esc), which resets everything.
To work around this, I've extended the panic button fade-out to nearly 7 seconds. This lets me quickly hit escape and then launch the next cue, but it's far from ideal. Sometimes, this workaround causes a delay where the next cue doesn't fire immediately, leaving a 2-second gap of silence, which can't happen during the show. I really need to find a simpler and more reliable solution.
If somebody knows a way to stop the projection from keeping my screen black, so I can see the rests of the cues and run the show smoothly, I would be eternally thankful!!!
