spencer Posted February 19, 2003 Report Posted February 19, 2003 when using a chase it is usually only a part of a state with some fixed lighting, because of the single playback I have been adding the fixed lighting to every step of the chase which works but is a pig when editing the fixed part as it needs to be done to every step in the chase. The option to make chases additive so a chase doesn't have to remove the last cue or a way of changing every step in a chase would save a lot of time. Quote
K-Nine Posted February 19, 2003 Report Posted February 19, 2003 Would outputting the state (scene ?) on the Playback X and the chase via a submaster, or vice versa, give you the resultant ouput you require :?: Quote K-Nine : Technically Advanced Roving Dog In Space Bran Media | Myspace
spencer Posted February 19, 2003 Author Report Posted February 19, 2003 yes it would but it requires a manual operation to fade up the submaster. Not a great hardship except we do try to make everything go button driven if possible. I guess I might be able to use a macro or something to operate the submaster from the main playback, I will have a play once this show is over and see if I can find a good way of doing it. I am still adjusting to the way of working, used to more than one playback, the multi-part memories work for most situations except when a chase is in use, its then that I miss the second playback.

Â As part of the current development of the Illusion 500, we are looking at 'partial' programming of memories and also improving tracking mode. Â Hopefully these improvements will mean that you can program scenes and chases as you have suggested 8) Â yes it would but it requires a manual operation to fade up the submaster.

I guess I might be able to use a macro or something to operate the submaster from the main playback, Â If you set the submaster buttons to 'Go' mode, you can program a macro to push the button (or buttons) you need to run the chases. Link this macro to the cue. Â OK.. not all that elegant, but it will do what you need. Quote K-Nine : Technically Advanced Roving Dog In Space Bran Media | Myspace
NPhillips Posted May 4, 2003 Report Posted May 4, 2003 All the more reason for more macros! Perhaps more macro keys on the ML wing discussed in another topic... Â Very Compulite! Quote
