Audio Cues is a way to organise and access all your audio files in one place, should you want to play them manually throughout the show. They can also be organised by Scene, so they disappear from the list as Scenes complete.
This is often used for pre-recorded audio hints or sound effects that must be operated manually.
-
Activation - go into Project Settings and click the checkbox to activate Audio Cues.
- N.B. if you de-activate Audio Cues, you will lose all your Audio Cues. If you do this accidentally, hit Undo. If you restart the project before you do this, the information will be lost.
