Default Trigger – Menu
Output File Type – XML
This script will write out the currently displayed cue list in the Cue List view as XML text in the script output window. You can then save the XML as a file for importing into a Whole Hog 4 console. The output window should automatically set the file extension to .xml. This script is useful if you have imported a cue list from another application sun as InqScribe or Reaper as it will include timecode values.
When the script is run, you will be prompted for a Cue List number. The Cue List number will be the cue list you wish to import into on the console.
Cues with no trigger type and no timecode, will have the trigger set to Halt on the console.
There are some user control variables in the script that you should adjust…
setNameAndCommentFields = true
When set to true, the cue name on the console will be set to the Name field in MLA, and the comment on the console will be set to the InfoText field in MLA. Default is true.
putNameInCommentField = true
When this variable is set to true, the name of the cue will be placed in the cue comment field. The cue name field will be set to the cue number i.e. ‘Cue 101’. When the variable is set to false, the name of the cue will be set to the name in the MLA cue list and nothing entered into the comment field. This variable will not apply if the setNameAndCommentFields variable is set to true. Default = true.
