Video Settings
Press and hold a video button to open its settings:

Here, you can customize the button's title and color, and configure the following settings:
Play Mode — Choose one of the following playback modes:
- Stop: Playback ends when the video finishes.
- Loop : The video repeats continuously until you stop it or start another video.
- Play Next : Automatically starts the next video when the current one finishes.
- Background : Set one video as the background video — it plays automatically whenever no other video is running. The background video loops continuously and can be stopped by tapping its button, which will then show the background image.
Mute Audio — Silences the video's audio track. When muted, the Volume slider below it is disabled.
Volume — Sets the playback volume for this video, from 0 to 100%.
Speed — Sets the playback speed, from 25% (quarter speed) to 200% (double speed). If the video is currently playing, the new speed takes effect when you release the slider.
If the selected video is not currently playing, a Delete button will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tapping it will ask whether you want to delete the video file or only remove the button from the board.
Trim
The Trim section lets you set a custom start and end point for playback. The trimmer shows a timeline filled with thumbnail frames from your video, giving you a visual reference as you scrub through it.
Drag the left yellow handle to set the start time, and the right yellow handle to set the end time. When you hold a handle, the timeline zooms into that area so you can position it precisely.
The trimmed start and end timestamps are displayed below the timeline. If the video has been trimmed, a Reset button appears next to the timestamps — tap it to restore the full original duration.
Keyboard Shortcut
You can assign a key on your keyboard to start or stop this video.
Tap Start / Stop in the Keyboard Shortcut section. Stage Cue will wait for you to press a key — press the key you want to use, and it will be saved automatically.
MIDI Trigger
You can also trigger this video using a MIDI controller.
Tap Learn in the MIDI Trigger section. Stage Cue will listen for an incoming MIDI signal — press the button, pad, or key on your MIDI device that you want to use, and Stage Cue will assign it automatically.
Alternatively, you can type in the MIDI command directly. The required format is explained below.
