CueCam music playback is “event-driven” instead of being attached to a specific card. You can start, stop and fade music up and down with a trigger on a card.

This means that you can add and remove cards or video sequences at will and the music will keep playing until you want it to stop or fade out.

You can fade down music when you start talking and have it fade back up when showing a title sequence.

How to start music playback

Use the Add (+) button on a card to create a “Load Music” trigger.

You can then click on the trigger to select a music file. This music file will be bundled into your document so make sure you have the right to share it if you send your document to someone else. You can load most Apple-friendly music formats like mp3, m4a etc...

Now you can set the volume and fade time of the track. The fade time is indicated after the file name on the card attachment button.

Changing the music volume with a fade

If you add a fade, it will affect the currently-playing music. If no music is playing, nothing will happen when the card is presented.

Use the Add (+) button to create a “Fade To...” trigger on a card.

Stopping music

If you want to stop the music on a specific card, you can add a “Stop Music” trigger with the Add (+) button.

If you want to stop the music immediately, you can use the Music button in the Dashboard.

The Dashboard’s music button shows playback progress, the current LUFS volume, a large Stop button and the currently playing track name.

You can mute the music without pausing playback by tapping in the lower part of the button (but not the Stop button), or you can stop it completely using the Stop button.

If you click the pink area you can see monitoring options and a volume control.
