Can't control dimmer

Post by sjaakthomassen »

Hi,
I have a location with 2 custom fixtures:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing

For both fixtures, all channels work, except for the dimmer. The output of the dimmer doesn't change at all.
When trying to change it in a scene, the icon right of the channel does change either when changing a value.
All other channels work and also if I add a fixture from the standard library (TMH9-6 in the location) it seems to work.
I must be doing something wrong, can someone help me please?

I'm running in transparent mode.

Are you on Version 4 of Freestyler? If so and if you are using the sliders in the upper right corner try opening the lamp window. I ran into this problem a couple of weeks ago (1st use of V4). The dimmer in the lamp window worked but the dimmer slider in the upper right corner did not.

Hi Rod,
Thanks for your input.
I tried both the sliders and the lamp window.
Running on 4.1.4
Tried 'link sliders with channel functions' both enabled and disabled.

Regards,
Sjaak

After removing fixtures and adding them again, it went for 1 fs session.

In the Sequence Editor check to see if the option to reset channel values if checked. If so try unchecking it and see if that helps.
