Problems Creating Sequence
Posted: 22 Feb 2009, 22:20
I seem to be at an impasse here. I can't get any of my sequences to work. Here are the steps I'm taking to create a sequence. Let's say I want to take some fixtures and want them to fade up and down. Here is what I do.
1. Click on create new sequence.
2. Select the fixtures I want to change.
3. Make all the necessary settings using the snap feature on all fixtures except the dimmer/intensity.
4. I set the intensity/dimmer channel to 100% make sure that it says fade.
5. I click to create a new step.
6. I set the intensity to 0 so that it fades off and make sure that the intensity/dimmer is set to fade.
7. I click on the save all steps button.
8. I save the sequence and insert it into a cue.
The result I should get is when I press the play button to run the sequence, the fixtures should fade up, then fade back down. Nothing happens and I am extremely frustrated because I can't seem to get it to work at all. None of the traits seem to be changing. I have watched the videos on youtube regarding creating sequences and cues and I followed it exactly, but it still refuses to work and I don't know if I'm doing something wrong. Can someone help me? By the way, the shutter was set to open on both steps so that should not be a problem.
