Recording Intensity on MFF without any attributes for movers


Uriahdemon

Recommended Posts

Evening all.

My programming and show execution approach for movers until now has been to record cue stacks of attributes,  select each cue and then increase intensity.

I am looking to be able to now select those attributes from palettes then increase intensity as needed.  Unfortunately the intensity playback cancels all the other attributes (well the way I have it configured) and I have to set them all again once raised.

Can anyone please suggest anyway of recording an intensity MFF which is entirely neutral and allow the attributes selected from palettes to remain...??

If your intensity playbacks are sending your fixture’s attributes to defaults, this suggests the fixture’s defaults have been included in the cue. It is probably easiest to remake your intensity playbacks and overwrite them. 

First, make sure you double tap CLEAR. Then, select your fixtures, and tap @@. You definitely don’t want to press HOME - this will tag everything. Once the fixtures are on, tap RECORD, and best practice would be to ensure SmartTag is disabled in the Record Options. Then tap your playback’s button to store it. 

Double tap CLEAR, and then give your playback a try. 

Hope this helps.

Good morning Ed,  I had a play last night and it does what it says on the tin.  Thanks very much again for the help  !!!
