5.8.10 Using Events
An Event is an instant in time that has some significance during a mix. In Eagle
automation, an event can be any of the following:
■
Cue Point
An event used to mark an important place in the mix. Cue Points are displayed as
colored bars on the Time Line.
To create a Cue Point, tap the Space Bar while time code is running or while dragging
the Current Time Pointer.
To edit the Cue Point’s label and bar color, double-click on the bar in the Time Line
window.
■
Switch Event
An event that causes a switch to change state. Eagle Automation adds switch events to
the Events List when switches are written to data during mixing. Switch Events can also
be added using the Switches tab in the Mix Edit Window.
When a number of switch changes happen during a single event, a summary of the
switch event is displayed in the Events window. Double-clicking on the expand box in
the Actions column expands the switch events so that they can be individually
highlighted and edited if desired.
■
Snapshot Event
An event that recalls a snapshot. A Snapshot Event is added to the Events List whenever
a Snapshot is recalled while timecode is running.
