Sequence won't stop

Post by johnnotestine »

I am slowly getting better with freestyler. One thing I cannot quite figure out is:

After creating sequences for lights (in this case an ADJ Megapixel 28CH) and playing the sequence, when I press stop the sequence continues to play. The only way I can get it to stop is to select the light and black it out, or to create another scene I named "blackout" and play that scene/cue.

What am I missing? Is there a selection to have lights always turn off if no scene is playing? It would be much nicer to have my lights not doing anything until a sequence is enabled.

Also, occasionally my lights do not want to react to scenes but remain blacked out. Is there an override that I am missing that forces them to not react to my sequences?

Thanks!

Oke how does the sequence look like. like which channels do you use in the Sequence?
And selecting you light and Blackout. does that mean you Select the fixture and Drag the Slider to "0"or Closed? Or do you use the Blackout button?

On the CUE window you can enable a BLUE arrow pointing back ;) its called Restore value.
this will Set the Value back to "0" if you stop it.
Look at this page to learn more about the CUE window:

The thing with the blue arrow only works when i use the Cuelist to start the sequences.
When i start them with the submasters menu, i have to deselect and select the arrow again to make it work.

Any idea how i can turn the values to 0 when i stop the sequence without doubleclicking the blue arrow all the time?

Par 64 LED .. last thing on stays on.

Some Scanner things like move mirrors from left bottom to right top with variantly shutter on off roations.. Mirror freeze but shutters keeps open.

ADJ LED Vision auto modes. No changing anymore, but shutter keeps open...

Same for Matrixx TLB-20 automodes or other self-created sequences.. the last thing always stays "on"...

i need to trigger a "Blackout sequence" everytime i turn off any fixture... or have to turn off and on the blue arrow, after i started the sequence...

hi i tested it and you right but i'm not able to get it back again.
even if i disable and enable Restore value it stays on the same value.... :?

but i reported it to the devolper so for me its waiting on the new beta and for you on the new public version :D
EDIT:
i talked to the Devolper and he pointed me out to the New feature "Restore only intensity channels" you can find it on the CUE options and you need to DISABLE this.
it works great if i try it now :D
