Re: Q Lab vs Instacue
I used this program yesterday (2/9) to cue a drumroll cue for an awards ceremony - yeah, it's just like you're thinking...
The feature set seems very nice, especially for the price I paid (free, so far). I like how you can choose what your key press equates to (latching, momentary, and "solo", which defeats all other running cues). The ability to use it in fullscreen mode in OSX Lion is nice...keeps distractions to a minimum. The "lock" feature is handy, too, so you don't accidentally edit an effect during the show run. I initially used the editor window to trim the effect down to size, but kept a full-length version cued up just in case. A good thing, too, since I actually needed almost the whole 54-second clip since the envelope opening took longer than expected :roll:
I still have the free version and think it will stay that way for the time being. I don't have a need to save my lists at this time, but the $99 is not a high price to pay for the functionality of saving the list(s).
