So I’ve discovered that the Arri Skypanel profiles are severely lacking in that the way they are built in the software doesn’t really reflect how they are used. Especially mode 30 (ultimate 8 bit).
The biggest problem is that the fixture channels will actually change function depending on what one of the control channels is set to, which the console just isn’t built to support. This doesn’t mean that the channels couldn’t take names and presets relevant to common use-cases.
In trying to re-build it to my liking, I’ve found a major discrepancy between the fixture builder and how things are displayed in the control software:
in the editor, it looks correct and useful:
All I want is for my wheel to display correctly (the way it does in the editor). Any thoughts? I’d rather not have to request changes to profiles every time I have an issue, sometimes I’m in a hurry…
