Move, duplicate and filter cues, scenes and acts

Short answer: On the Edit Cues page, drag the handle on the left of an act, scene or cue to reorder it. Use the three-dot menu for Duplicate, Filters (grayscale, brightness, contrast, opacity, saturation, hue) and, for cues, Move to send a cue to a different scene. Cues can only be dragged within their own scene.

Reorder

Hover over an act, scene or cue and drag the handle on the left.

  • Acts and scenes can be dragged anywhere.

  2. Click the orange Bypass Restriction.
  3. Check the box to re-enable it in Show Settings.
