How Hog 4 OS interprets Inqscribe Data
Each Inqscribe XML document is imported as a single cuelist which is appended to the end of
the list directory as a new cuelist.
It is not possible to alter existing cuelist data using the cuelist import feature with Inqscribe
exported XML files.
A bracketed timecode entry in the Inqscribe transcript is interpreted as a single cue entry with
a time-code wait column value.
Plain text following a timecode entry is interpreted as the cue name for the cue that is
generated for that timecode entry.
WARNING: A plain text entry MUST follow each and every timecode entry in your transcript,
otherwise the XML export from Inscribe will not conform to the Hog import standard and cue
data be missing / incorrect.
Here is an example of an Inscribe Transcript that is compatible with Hog cuelist import:
[00:00:10.12] Opening
[00:00:16.08] Add US Truss
[00:00:22.01] Colour Change
[00:00:37.14] Tilt DS Fixtures
[00:00:53.23] Add Blue Pars
[00:01:18.03] Fan out to audience
[00:01:29.04] DSC Spot Solo
[00:01:39.19] Fade Out
Importing an Inqscribe XML file into a show
1. List → Open : opens list directory window.
2. Press the Cuelist Import button located at the top of the list directory window.
3. Select the XML file previously exported from Inqsribe and press okay.
4. If the import is successful a dialogue box will appear confirming the import is complete.
Press okay.
5. If non-conforming data or errors are detected the import WILL NOT complete and an
error dialogue box will appear. Press the details button on the error to see more
information about the errors detected in the XML file. Make note of the errors mentioned
in the dialogue box, make the necessary adjustments in Inqsribe, re-export the XML file
from Inqscribe, and then re-attempt to import into Hog 4 OS.
