Video Settings
A long press on any video button will open its settings:
Here, you can customize the button’s title and color, and choose one of the following playback modes:
- Stop: Playback ends when the video finishes.
- Loop: The video will continuously repeat until you stop it or start another video.
- Play Next: Automatically starts the next video when the current one finishes.
- Background: Assign one video as the background video, which plays automatically whenever no other video is playing. The background video loops continuously and can be stopped by tapping its video button, which will then display the background image.
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.
Keyboard Shortcut
You can assign a keyboard key to control the playback of this video.
To set it up, tap Start / Stop in the Keyboard Shortcut section to open the learning dialog. Then, press the key you want to assign to this video.
MIDI Trigger
Similar to keyboard shortcuts, you can use a MIDI command to trigger playback.
Tap Learn in the MIDI Trigger section. Stage Cue will then listen for incoming MIDI messages and the first received command will be set as the trigger to start or stop playback of this video.
Alternatively, you can enter the MIDI command manually. The required format is explained in the following section.
