Add a Title
To play back Designation Lists select the Media ID in Production, then press the Publish button on the Workflow Ribbon or use the F5 hotkey.
You can also launch a blank Presentation screen in OnCue by hitting Ctrl+F5. Click on the blank screen and then type X + Media ID and then hit ENTER.
When playing designations, you will see the Designation Dashboard on your production screen.
On the left:
On the right:
There are navigation buttons on the Designation Dashboard.
NOTE: If you select an individual designation and not the Designation List, it will start from that designation and either play through to the end of the List, or stop after that single designation or stop point, depending on how you have your auto advance arrows set.
You can also set your designation list to clear the screen upon completion, as seen in Preferences > Designations below.
Playback of designation lists with links are the same as those without links with a few extra tips:
If you forgot to clear a link – Hitting Ctrl + F takes your video back to full screen and clears the doc.
Forget a highlight or a callout – no problem, anything you can do to a document on its own (highlight, callout, zoom) you can do to a document that is linked.
Need to hide the video on-the-fly during playback? Just press Shift + V (press again to bring the video back).
Want your designation lists to start paused instead of playing automatically?
Go to Edit > Preferences > Designations & Transcripts
Uncheck the option for 'Begin playback automatically'
Step-by-step Instructions
Presenting a designation list is the same as presenting any other media in OnCue.
IMPORTANT: The underlying deposition video files should be copied to the “_synchedvideos” folder in your OnCue case, put the loose video files in the root of that folder (not in subfolders). OnCue looks for the video in this folder.

The judge rules right before it's time to play a designation list and you want to be sure that no linked documents display while playing in Presentation?
Go to Edit > Preferences > Designations & Transcripts
Uncheck the option for 'Show linked media'
Note: this is a global setting and will impact every designation that is played.
Adding Custom Designation Playback Rates
The playback rate of designations can be changed by using the playback rate controls on the toolbar while presenting, but what if the rate you'd like the video to playback isn't listed? You can add the rate you'd like as a custom playback rate
Click on the Edit menu and go to Preferences. Click on Options in the bottom left corner and select Show Advanced Settings.
Click on Audio & Video on the left and add the custom playback rates you'd like. I'm going to add 0.42:
After adding the custom playback rate, you can click on the Slow Forward button on the toolbar in presentation mode to cycle through available speeds and see that .42x is available:
