quitting effects

Yes...hold down the backspace key and then hit "Effects" to knock out FX only for selected fixtures....also works great with Intensity, Color, Beam, etc....

Hope this helps. :)

The other thing I do is make4 "custom" effects.

Take all of my fixtures, enter the effects engine.

Select the INT tab and choose OFF. Record this in the engine as "INT OFF"
Clear things out and do the same thing with POS, BEAM and COL. I generally put these (for me at least) at Effect 101 through 104. That way I can type it on the command line at any time.

Now, I can keep the window open and just turn off an intenesity effect or beam or whatever.

Hope it helps...

This is a great tip. As a sorta newbie as well I had the hardest time figuring out how to stop an effect so I could on to the next cue. Was the most frustrating thing to have a cue with an effect, think I've got it stopped and then go on to the next cue and have it still be there (this was also before I truly understood tracking). Thanks guys!
