Short answer: Open Show Settings → Edit Cues, open the three-dot menu on the scene, choose New Cue → Blackout, drag the new cue into position, and click Save & Exit. The same menu adds Curtain Warmer and Camera cues.

- Find the scene that needs the blackout and click the three-dot menu on its right.

Other cue types
