QLab: Fancier New Slide Applescript Hotkey

In this video we will be adding to the functionality of our Make New Slide hotkey. Instead of making 3 linked cues in the main cue list, we'll now put our video and fade in cue into a group for easier labeling, and add a cue number scheme. This script was originally developed for a show that used multiple projectors. Assigning an output surface is not something I know how to do with applescript(surface is not an entry in the QLab applescript dictionary, though you may be able to do this with OSC). Because I knew changing the surface would involve mousing around, I wanted to store that data as soon as my designer said it, which is why surface is the first prompt, and why it is stored for reference in the notes of the cues. 10:30 I set the target of outCue outside of the function because I didn't want to add an extra argument that would have to be dealt with every time the function was called. This is an edge case so it gets special treatment. Make Fancy New Slide Original: https://github.com/robotlightsyou/qla... Make Fancy New Slide New: https://github.com/robotlightsyou/qla...
