just wondering..........

From what I remember about the studio colors, there isn't a hard shutter like that of say a Mac700 that can be opened and closed like that. Also, I believe that they are just really slow fixtures. The console is making them work as fast as they will work (from what I remember).

So what I'm saying is that you cannot make a hard shutter movement like what you're describing. I know in the past that I've done something like an effect on the strobe at least to make it use the speed to make it look cool.....basically writing and effect on the intensity in a sine wave so that it closes and opens on the curve, using the speed for something.

Snowman,

The Studio Color uses an Iris as the dimmer so it is slow as you describe. You need to build your "flash" cues using the shutter. Set it to Closed SHutter with 100% intensity in a cue and then use another master to open the shutter...

You will be flashing away in no time.

thanks brad,
that works but i think ill stick to using the strobe on a palette, simply becouse what you suggested takes up two masters and with a H3PC and 1 playback wing we dont have too much room.
thanks anyway

hi,
you can two cues on one master.and in option-cuelist cue only and in master-click, go on flash .

doller,
that works really well!
the only limitation that I see however is the speed that you can push the flash button, because your pushing it once for on and again for off so your flash rate is half the speed that your pushing the button. . .

my 2 cents anyway

hi,
you must the time in fade at 0 in the cuelist.

greeds dol

or in options by cuelist, realese and back time at o and than you can flashed the stobe or random in the cues.

Let me clarify a bit,
With a normal flash, you push the button for on and release it for off.
With this method however, you push and release the button once to turn the shutter on and push and release again to turn the shutter off

very good idea though, works the best so far... ... ... ...

hi you can this methode for faders too.click the same in options,
when i make it for flash button i click faders at none.its ok than for rhytm by show push button the ml is strobe and when lost the button no rdm or strobe.
hope this help you

If you don't want to push the button twice. Put a follow command in wait column of the shutter off que and set the flash on that master to flash and then release on release, with everything set to a fade time of 0.

so when you push the flash button down, it will fire the first cue, but then the second will immediately follow, and will stay that way till you release the button.

This should work, if you are trying to accomplish what I think you are trying to accomplish.

Or I could be completely off base :outtahere:
