Sequence 1st. step.
If you start creating a sequence, it's a good idea to consider what has to be set in the first step.
If there are a lot of shifting cues for example with submasters, then the state where the new sequence starts can be unknown.
Example:
When a new sequence with parcans is started, then all parcans are closed.
In the first step two red parcans are set to full light. \ But because the sequence editor only records the changed values, the other fixtures may still be activated. If this is not intended, you'll have to change the intensity channel of the other parcans to snap or fade and it's value to 0.
If this behaviour is intended, you can start the sequence with only sending full intensity values to the two red parcans.
When all parcans were left on from the last cue, nothing will happen to them as the new sequence starts. So you combined the old light scene with a new one (two red parcans turned on).
The first step could be made turn on all parcans, turn off all except the tow red, and then the next step can be made.
In the sequence 1st step all parcans value are changed and therefore saved in the first step.
The result will now be that no matter what the last setting was then the first step in the new sequence turn off all parcans except from the two red. They will be on.
In the next step the settings are known. Only the two red are on and therefore only the ones that are wanted to be changed has to be set.
The same issue can be seen on CMY or RGB control. In the first step set all 3 colors not just one.
