Artist Help:Live editing

From ShowCAD Wiki

Often you wish to make changes to your cues while they are running in live situation. Dimmer levels are easily altered as follows,

  • Right-click on the cue in question and select 'Set Parameters'. This will override the cue by setting the contained parameters levels and their flags. This will not affect the DMX outputs.
  • View the fixture parameters in the Fixture view and activate those you wish to adjust.
  • Use the Fixture control panel to adjust the active fixture levels.
  • Open the Program Control window and click 'Store To'.
  • Finish by clicking on 'Save + Clear'. This will store the changes to the cue and return DMX output control to the running cue.

As far as the DMX outputs are concerned this is a seamless operation.

It is often desirable to proportionally alter dimmer levels within a cue. You can do this by changing the parameter control mode to incremental by clicking the title bar on the control.
