need help quickly

Post by djmaq »

Normal I've no problems to create circles. I create a show on my PC all works fine. Than I Made a backup and load it on my notebook. Now I have to chance something in the cirkle and it doesn't work.
I want do make a chase in which the heads only do a cirkle. I open the "create sequence" window do all settings and it looks nice. Than I push "save", name it and save it. Then I insert the chase in the cue list. If I now choose the cirkle settings like "pan invert"/"tilt invert" are not existing what means all heads move in the same direction although I programmed it in different directions. What's the matter? What is my failure?
Besides I can't open the "Iris, Focus, Zoom" window. What can I do?
Need help very qucikly please. I need the programm the next six days from tomorrow (16.8.07) afternoon and I have to programm some cirkles.

The inverse tilt/pan are overrides, and not saved into a cue. They are mostly used for live control of scans / moving heads.
They will affect a light when playing back a recorded scene or bezzier.
To accomplish the affect you want, When programing your bezzier, select the fixture you want to rotate in the opposite direction. Then in the pan/tilt window select View next to the drop down menu.
This will open up the editor widow, then select flip Y.
Then save your scene and your desired effect will now be saved.

Yes, I know. But it doesn't work. I also tried to controll the direction by change the degrees in the down right corner (I think it must work to) but if I store and try to recall it by the cue list/buttons it doesn't work. The heads do Pan/Tilt (cirkles) movement but not on this position I stored.
After I finshed programming yesterday afternoon I shut my Notebook down. Today moning It was possible to create some circles. Now it doesn't work again. I tried to shut down my Notebook and restart Windows and Freestyler but thats was not helpfully. The problem is allready existing. :(

changing the degrees won't change its direction, it only changes its starting position.
The only method is the flip x/y in the shape editor.
If you are trying to edit a shape already programed into a cue, you may have problems. There are a few bugs in the bezzier tool, which require some work on and this may be a consequence of one of these.

OK, I solverd the problem but I'm not rellay shure what the matter was. There are few reasons I can imaginethey caused the problem. Next time I programm a show I'll pay attentio on this things and then I report here what the matter was.

Ok, I#m not 100% sure but I thing the failure was that:
I did all my settings (set degrees and so) and than I marked als fixtures bevor I stored. Because of this all fixture get the degree setting from the last edited fixture and so it was not stored what I want to have.
I thing that was the error!
