If you use a Fade cue to set the scale of a target Video cue to 2, then the scale that Video cue will end up at 2 after running the Fade no matter what the scale was when the Video cue started off. This means that any parameters that you adjust with a Fade cue will arrive at their final levels regardless of their status before the Fade cue runs. To fade a parameter with the Fade cue, just check the box next to that parameter.Īlso by default, Fade cues are Absolute.
