Cue's Page problems. [SOLVED]

Post by djchrizz »

Heey guys,

First of all srry for my english, it's not so good.
I have a problem with freestyler and hope you guy's can help me.
With freestyler i made some diffrent scenes and when i let the scenes run with multiselect i do save cue and add to buttons.
So far so good.
Now lets say i have 1 page with 8 diffrent cue's in it.
When i try to test all of the button cue's, it all works great.
The only problem is let's say cue 1 (scanners) is playing, when i select cue 2 (par64) the previous cue (scanners) stops moving but the lights keeps on!
I don't want that, if i select other cue, i want the previous cue to stops with light also!
How can i make that possible?
The strange thing is, when i click cue 1 it plays, and if i click the same cue 1 again then it stops! It doesn't stop if i click on a other cue button.
I hope you can help me.

My email is djchrizz9480@gmail.com.

Thanks!!!

This is normal behaviour for cuelist buttons. When you select another curliest button, FS still sends out DMX commands from the previous cuelist button. Research 'LTP - latest takes precedence' on the web.

The best way to get around this is too program blackout/shutter sequences for all other fixtures into each cuelist button. So when you change a cuelist button only the desired fixtures are lit.

So how can i make it possible that i select a cue's the previous will stop?
I tried to make shows in sequenses but that wont work also.
I just want to make a show in diffrent ways and if i take another movement the previous will stop?
That is my point.

Pls help me m8.

Thnx for the help....

Hi, what you have to remember is that when building your scene the fixtures will only do what you tell them so if you change scenes using the same fixtures then that is OK as they will receive a different DMX command. If you change scenes using some of or new fixtures from the last scene then only the fixtures receiving the new DMX command will change. The others will stay on the scene they were on previously as they have not been told otherwise in your new scene.

Basically when you want to introduce new fixtures and switch off others in a cue you have to build that into your cue. So for example using sequence creator select the fixtures you wish to have in the scene and set them up. The fixtures you want to turn off you also have to select them and do exactly that i.e. dimmer and/or shutter to 0 on the faders.

Hope that helps

Submasters would probably also be a good way to solve this, but I'm not well versed in them.
