Programming problem

[ManhattanProject]

Hi there! (Don't know if I have placed this topic in the right section, it might me moved)

I need to program 4 moving heads (x/y. gobo, colour, shutter(lamp)

The Problem:
I want this under 4 submasters. But here comes the problem: If i select a movement and after that a colour, the fixture will stop moving and will in the 'HOME' position show me the selected colour, i want it to move in my selected colour.

The Programming steps I did:

1. Select fixtures
2. Click Lamp 'Open'
3. Click the action e.g. red or a certain gobo
4. Save the scene

After doing steps 2-4 after a few times i have created a list of gobo's, a list of colours, a list of movements, a list of shuttermodes.

5. I create a movement/colour/gobo/shutter CUE using the cuewindow
6. Save CUE ( e.g. MH Movement)
7. I Load the CUE's in the Submaster
8 Problem occurs

Can anyone help me?

You've not got your pan and tilt selected when you've programmed your colours, have you? Make sure you've got fade, snap and off set correctly when programming.

I'll try the way you suggested this weekend (but I think I did it like you say it should). If anyone sees big flaws in my programming steps, let me know

As Nathan said, when you program a sequence for colour make sure all the other channels (or attributes) are set to 'off'. This way you can have a number of sequences running for all the different attributes (via the submasters) without them conflicting with one another. It's called programming by attribute and is a great way to create new 'looks' on the fly...and you can then save it as a cue list button for instant recall later on!
