I know how to set Mark on a cuelist to move in black. However, that only works if Cue 1 is Intensity 0% and Cue 2 is intensity >0%. What I’m wondering is how to make movers (1) go black, (2) move, (3) intensify up, when switching from Cue 1 to Cue 2, even if Cue 1 didn’t have an Intensity 0%.
We have 8 cues (one for each song in our set), and each cue has the movers on and in a different position/chase for each song. As it is now, I have to add a .5 cue (named “transition”) between each of these cues to make the movers go dark before they’re moved and put back to original intensity.
Is there a way to tell a mover to go black on Go, or something similar? Or do I need a dummy transition cue between each main cue to make them go black as I’m currently doing? Just wondering if I’m missing a more effective option.
Hey Arretx. I never did. Still to this day I’m using transition cues between each song. I haven’t looked into alternatives since this post, however. I’m guessing you’re on the same hunt.
Only the cues with that M will Mark. Nothing else will. Mark per list is a shortcut so you don’t have to bother turning on mark toggle on hundreds of cues.
But when are the heads actually moving? Are they moving DURING cue 1.5, or are they moving when 2 is fired?
They are moving in dark, as per Mark feature… Meaning they are moving as soon as their Intensities reach 0%, just like any Mark cue…
Cue 2 does not fade automatically, when Cue 1.5 is done… It has a Follow 1s settings, which mean Cue 2 waits 1s after cue 1.5 is finished, allows enough time for the fixtures, to prep for Cue 2
The timing on cue 2 is something I’ve never seen before … 0s >> 1s >> 2s.
You can ignore this, for the sake of this conversation… These are individual Delay timing, just to make Cue 2 look prettier
