Change-over cue is the small dot, oval, or mark on the top-right corner of a film frame. It signals to the projectionist to change over from one projector (or film reel) to another (about every 15-20 minutes).

Nowadays, most film theatres have only one projector. They splice the reels together into one giant roll and feed it into a single projector from a horizontal revolving turntable called a platter.
