Easy way to state time for a fixture parms

You cannot do multiple parameters in the same keystroke... you have to seperate them. (You only need to seperate them if you want to do seperate timings)

[Fixture] [X] [Position] [time] [X] [Enter]
[Fixture] [X] [Colour] [time] [X] [Enter]
[Fixture] [X] [Beam] [time] [X] [Enter]

Hope this helps :)

Ohh.. furthermore... If certain parameters are going to have the same timing, you could use this syntax too...

[Fixture] [1] [intensity] [position] [time] [4] [enter]. That will apply a fade time of 4 seconds to the intensity and position of fixture 1.

But like I say, that only works if the parameters have the same time value, you still cannot have different time values in the same command.

Best,

You don't have to separate them...

I regularly use "Group POS COL BEAM Time 0 ENTER" Immediately followed by POS COL BEAM Time Time 3.5 ENTER to delay the same group.

I was just going off this thread..

I could also swear that Tom said something similar... but I cannot find his post. And your example is correct... but Misebeam wants to do different times for different parameter groups... which I am sure is not possible in the same keystroke...

Best :)

Correct...if doing DIFFERENT times, it must be separated. Only if they are all the same time does my way work.

Thats what I said... :Eyecrazy:

Whoops, just realised. Misebeam wants them all at 0 seconds. My bad... getting confused thinking he wanted different timings for different parameters!

Best,

If taking all parameters to the same fade time, press TIME X ENTER then record your cue as normal.

Hi Mitch,
I was doing "time x" but I want my intensity times different than beam, pos, or color time. This way when I mark a cue those time are at 0.

But I have to keep typing in "pos time 0, beam time 0, colour time 0"

Can I make a group to have those parms (beam,colour,pos), and then use the group to assign the time to?

You can do..

[Cue/Fixture] [X] [Position] [Colour] [Beam] [Time] [0] [Enter]

Then you can do the intensity one...

[Cue/Fixture] [X] [Intensity] [Time] [X] [Enter]

Hope this helps,

After using TIME X ENTER you can then do INTENSITY TIME X ENTER then record the cue.
