Cues don't take over fixtures after direct control
Posted: 17 Feb 2015, 16:05
This has stumped me the entire time I've been using FS but I've never sat down and worked on it long enough to sort it out, I just restart FS.
If I minimize my touchscreen and select a fixture and turn it on/off, change colors, etc, normally it doesn't revert to what I've got programmed in a chase. I had actually set up a 2 page touchscreen once so I could easily switch over, grab fixtures and manually pop them onto a color or something but as soon as it didn't work anymore in a chase I just deleted the page and left it alone. This weekend I had a similar situation where I turned the 4bar on to all white for a guest performer before our show, and I turned the Swarm on and then manually turned it back off. When we started our first set the 4bar returned to what the chase was doing but the swarm did not and after the first set I restrted FS and the swarm worked. There has to be a simple tick somewhere I'm not setting that would correct this and I'd appreciate someone cluing me in.
Thanks
