Scale video cues in Qlab

gistfile1.applescript

-- scale the curretly selected cue(s) down to 45% of their current size
--  (specificially, this was useful for resizing all the video cues for the PYT Dance Company Leiden tour 2015!..)

-- if one or more cues are selected, it should scale each cue in turn
-- if any groups are selected, it won’t modify any cues contained within!
-- if no cues are selected (usually happens when you change cue list), this should do nothing

set scaleValue to 0.45
