Editing Artist Help: Movement Scene

The purpose of this scene is to provide movement between precise positions and therefore this scene will contain only data pertaining to the Yoke parameters. The scene is intended to be used as a component in building a cue. Each time a cue accesses this scene it can change its settings such are level, rate, ramp, trigger, direction and others.

The Method
From the Fixture View toolbar activate all fixture and set the preset levels in order to see what we are doing. Use the blue left and right arrows in the to select the first fixture only. Set the desired position of this fixture and repeat this for all the fixtures until they are all in the positions required for the first step of the movement.

Click New Scene in the Master/Program Control window. In the Program Data dialog select the Position Only filter and click Save + No Clear. This will save only the yoke parameters to the scene.

Now reposition all the fixtures to the next required position in the movement. In the Master/Program Control window click New Step. The settings in the Program Data dialog should already be those that you previously select and you need only click Save + No Clear. This will now add a step to the scene you created. There are now two positions defined in the scene.

Repeat this for all the required positions.

To test the scene zero all the Yoke parameters and activate the scene in the Scene List View. Double-click on the scene name to open the Scene Control Panel and adjust the rate and ramp settings to useful default values. Set the Default Link type to Linear and the Fader Mode to Control All. This will mean that cues accessing this will fade and not snap the scene on.
