Cue Properties
A cue's properties dialog contains all the settings, or properties, available for the cue. The properties for most cue types are arranged on three tabs. Properties specific to a cue type are described in that cue type's chapter. Here are the common properties found on each tab:
 
 
Content tab:
–       thumbnail: All visual cues provide a thumbnail depiction of the cue as it will appear on the display screen. Cues with subcues provide controls for selecting each screen in the cue.
 
–       cue name: By default, most cue types use the song title, Bible passage or media file assigned to the cue as the cue name. All but Lyric and Bible cues allow you to change or add a name of your own.
 
–       primary media: Cues that play media allow you to select a different song, Bible passage or file, generally by clicking the Open or Browse button to the right of the song or file name.
 
–       text properties: Lyric and Bible cues provide settings that determine the font and layout for each text object (e.g., verse, reference). (See Text Properties.)
 
–       image properties: Graphic and Video cues let you choose the position and size of the displayed image. (See Image Properties.)
 
–       background: All visual cues offer the ability to assign a graphic file, solid color, or both, as the cue's background. (See Background Properties.)
 
 
 
Playback tab:
–       transition: Most cues offer transitions that affect how the cue will appear when it's fired. (See Transitions.)
 
–       advance: Settings in this area determine how long a cue will play and what happens when it's done. (See Advances.)
 
–       control options: These settings affect how the cue behaves on the control screen. (See Control Options.)
 
–       soundtrack: Most visual cues allow you to assign a sound file that will play with the cue. (See Soundtracks.)
 
 
Notes tab:
–       note: Text entered in the box on this tab appears in the Notes column when the cue is in a Script. It doesn't get displayed to the audience, so you can use this feature for your own presentation notes, production instructions, etc.
