Good morning all.
Last night, I was trying to create a trick chase, and got the chase to partially do what i wanted, but the travel distance was cut short everytime.
I'm using three High End Studio colors. (Dimmer is always 100%, and fixtures are all on a thruss in the ceilling)
1. All three fixtures have a dimmer=100%, shutter=0, position on floor
2. Center fixture, shutter=255, floor
3. Center fixture, shutter=255, move from floor to wall with mspeed of 213=7.2 seconds
4. Left fixture, shutter=255, on floor, center fixture Shutter=0, back to floor
5. Left fixture move to wall with Mspeed=213, shutter=255
6. Left fixture shutter=0, back to floor, Right fixture shutter=255
7. right fixture shutter=255, moves to wall with Mspeed=213
8. right fixture shutter=0, moves back to floor
Now, what I have, is the center fixture turning on -> moves to wall -> turn off as left fixture turns ON on the floor -> left fixture moves to the wall -> left fixture turn off as it returns to the floor, and the right fixture turns on -> right fixture goes to the wall -> right goes off and back to the floor.
The on and off sequence seems to work well, but as the fixture travel to their destinations, they turn off well before they get to their designated spot on the wall. Seems that they are all on for about 1 sec or so. The Mspeed of 213 equals to a 7.2 sec travel time. My travel will be put to about 3 seconds in the final version.
Can anybody explain as to what I did wrong on this trick chase. Thanks.
Cheers,
Hans
