Hi all! I have 3 Frog desks as hire stock (Fat & Leap) and so far I have been happy with them, bar the live chase speed edit issue but with the latest software upgrade all is right again. I was wondering if it would be possible to have individual fade and wait times on each step or even just wait times. :D

I was wondering about that same thing myself, a kind of dwell time each step would be rather cool; but i guess it would take a load of programming work? (don't really know how you implemented it?)

Oh well; just program the same scene twice; it'll run twice as long ;)

We have a couple of Q Commanders and that is the way their chase system works, I would imagine that the Frog range of desks would be able to do this and a lot more. I know you can do this with the cue stack using auto triggers and jumps but that is more suited to experienced users. Somtimes as I recently experienced just to be able to push up a sub master is more suitable for a client who has no knowledge of lighting desks or equipment and just needs an effect to run, usually as there is no bugdet to have an opperator there.

I'm sure this has been mentioned several times before in these forums and if the search facility worked properly I could probably find it quite quickly :?

 

You can achieve a similar effect by linking together a number of scene memories with auto triggers and having a jump at the end - takes a bit more thought on the part of the operator, but then so would adding a load of extra timing information in the programming of every step of a chase :twisted:
