i do know about the scene fade tool bar, but dont think it is gonna help me with what i want to do.

Lets say i have scene a, b, and c. i want to fade through them all the first time with a 3 second fade. then i want to go through them all with a 1 second fade. Is there a way to change this fade time with out changing the fade time to each 3 scenes individually?

i havent tried using the master page - how should i try that way?

dunn I believe that if you want to run a sequence of scenes you will have to select a fade or not for each individual scene regardless of the controller. But let me look around on the software and I'll get back to you.
Sincerely,

thanks.

you know that window that pops up when you fade from scene a into b? I want something like that to appear all the time

hey dunn hit me up by email when you get a chance nfcarbone@gmail.com

so i kind of figured out of my fading problem and doing so figured out a bunch of stuff too. however, one thing keeps bugging me about switches. this is the best way i think i can describe it.

lets say i make a new switch for a color combination. i name the switch "Color - Redblue" it automatically gets placed in the premade color switch with all the other pregenerated color switched within the main switch. heres my problem.

when im swithced in the pregenerated blue button then switch to the pregenerated red, the blue automatically switched off. When i am clicked into my "redblue" switch then click to red it doesnt automatically switch off. I notice the same thing with switchs for other stuff too.

i was wondering why it acts this way and if there is a way to tweak the setting around that. i have looked all around but still cant seem to figure it out.

thanks for your help

are you talking about going from a color switch you made to a preset color switch like the one that loads up when you load your fixture page? Let me know.

exactly what you said

that has something to do with the priority of dmx and the latest takes precedent. Not too sure how to fix that. I'll try to have an answer for you VERY soon. Sincerely,

Hey jingles, quick question because I am curious now. Is there a way to switch between HTP (Highest Takes Precedent) and LTP (Latest Takes Precedent) on Compu Live? If not, might be something to look into adding, very useful for intensity channels and dimmer channels.

HEY serra. Yes there is. You can even choose If the master has ltp or the sub pages has it. I'm currently looking how to change the LTP setting across the fixture pages as we speak.
Sincerely,

Dunn. i set up a switch going back and forth between two colors and then hit a color switch from the preset color switches and it takes over the color switch. you might wanna try switching from LTP to HTP. once i figure out how to do that. i will let you know! sincerely,

ok here is a pic of the setting you are gonna want to find for the LTP and HTP setting. click on your switch and then go to buttons, then go to settings. here is a screen shot.

i will explain things more in detail in the next post.

ok now about the switches.
if you want to create a switch to ONLY change colors, then ONLY the color channels should have something other than the OFF property inside the Editor. meaning turn all the other channels except maybe shutter and dimmer to OFF and it should be ok. if you need further elaboration let me know. ok? sincerely,

thanks jingles

ive tried messing with the priority settings before and it didnt really do anything for me.

i know about the on/off stuff in the editor, and that works great for me. perhaps when oyu get a chance you could post explanations for the LTP and HTP. i bet i jsut dont understand them that well and therein lies my problem. im off to go rehearse with the band im doing lighting for so no need to rush me an answer

thanks for all your help through out this. i cant wait to reach the full potential that this program holds

DUNN i suggest searching on wiki about it cause it is REALLY hard to explain. unless of course serra wants to dumb it down for us? lol joking serra! lol. sincerely,
