What sort of cues are they? audio cues? fade cues? image cues?

We're using v1 but the only time I've had cues not fire is if there are fade cues targeted at a cue that's stopped playing - is there a fade cue in the middle of follow-on list that fades a cue that's already stopped? In this case the fade doesn't run, but the cue doesn't follow on either. The solution is to put the fade cue last in the list - so next audio cue first, then the fade out, not the other way around.

no, its an audio Q following an audio Q, not a fade.Post wait is set at 00:15:00 to fire the second Q.

Is it better to use post wait on the first Q or pre wait on the second Q, or does it make no difference?

There is no real difference for single cues but if you are firing groups of cues then you can set up pre-waits for each cue in the group with absolute time. If you do it with a series of post waits then you have to work out where each one goes in a single overall time line. i.e. cue 2 after 20s, cue 3 15s after that etc.

 

As for the OP, are these cues all on the same HDD?

If not it could be going to sleep...

 

Edit: Clarity

There is a pretty active Google Group dedicated to QLab. Chris, the developer is online answering questions all the time. Try your question there.
