Pan Tilt jumping

Hi,

Is it posible to make a cue just for the movement only?
And different cues for other items like color strobe ect? I can't get it fixed the fact that selecting an other cue the movement also jumps. I like the movement go smoothly without changing when other cue is only an other color.
I tried all the different icons behind the features. I would think when using the "don't allow" sign the feature won't effect.
Maybe I overlook some check boxes? It's just 2 movingheads I'm using.
So like a hardware lightning desk, positions, colors and gobo's on different faders/cues.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, this is possible.

When building your SEQUENCE if you set the channels for your moving head similar to what is shown in the attached PNG then only the COLOR and BRIGHNESS will change when that SEQUENCE is run.

Use the same technique to create a STROBE only SEQUENCE or a MOVEMENT only SEQUENCE.

If the movement is erratic make sure you have the move channels fading, not snaping and that your SEQUENCE duration time is at least as long as the fade up / fade down time. Also check the movement speed channel value and ensure it is appropriate.

In addition, you probably do not want the SEQUENCE to reset channel values when the SEQUENCE ends. This has caused me a few problems.

Hi,

Thx for you replay

I'm doing exactly as you describe. Somehow the movement (x-y) stop when starting another cue with zoom and rotate. The "restore values" icon is in highlighted in the cue Windows.

It working now.

Also found my "user bug".

The fixtures were allready moving before any cue was given. So that's what caused the issue. Kind of a double cue make the movement stop.

Thx for the support.
