Create Tasks for rehearsals

*Tasks are useful to automate from one to several actions (subtasks). A lot of subtasks are available.

First, we need to organise a bit our windows in Kinetic Designer to add Tasks easily.
Go to View > Tasks, the Tasks tab will show up.

What we want here is to have few Tasks to locate quickly the playback head to a moment in our Timeline.
This is how we are going to create a TASK:

1. SUBTASK1 = Set the Timeline Opacity (Grand Master) at 0 with a fade of 1 second
2. SUBTASK2 = 1 second after SUBTASK 1 : Locate the Playback head in the timeline
3. SUBTASK3 = At the same time as SUBTASK 2 : Set the Timeline Opacity (Grand Master) at 100 with a fade of 1 second
   

Create the TASKS

• Go to the Task tab.
• Click on + to create a task.
• Change the name and choose a color to identify it.
• Just drag&drop our Timeline from the Timeline tab to the subtask tab.
• Select the subtask and set the Action to GrandMaster value at 0 with a duration of 1sec
• Copy/Paste this subtask (or Drag&drop the *Timeline *again)
• Click on the subtask and select Play at time…. the moment in the timeline you want to play
• Copy/Paste the subtask
• Select the subtask and set the Action to GrandMaster value at 100 with a duration of 1sec
• Put a delay on the subtask2 of 1 second

Select the Task then click on Launch Task.
When a task it’s blinking for a few seconds it means t it has been triggered and you should see that the timeline has been played.

• Repeat it, create three other Tasks to Play Jingle1, Jingle2, Jingle3

*You can use Copy/Paste to duplicate Subtask but it works to duplicate an entire Task as well. This way you can duplicate your task four times and just have to edit the Play at.. value.
