Thanks , I managed to get the effect to stop as Kgallen suggested. Following on from this, the movers revert back to the position applied in the cue that makes the audience search in the following cues then dont move on dark to the position needed next until that cue is called. So further down the cue list I have them both pointing at a single spot on stage but the stay in the position used for that audience search cue until i call the cue for the single spot, then they come on then move to where I want them while on.

Yeah im trying to program ours now! Here is the windows I get when I hold update.... Thanks

I did think it was something to do with that so I tried holding down update but didnt get that smart tag options. I'll have another check in a second. Thanks

Hi Edward, I have created the audience search I was after and it works well. Thanks Problem is when i create the next cue, which is two profiles focused on the narrators, i took the intensity down to 0 on the movers, pressed no effect on the effects page and the turned off and stopped moving. Recorded the next cue and it was all good. That was until I went through all my cues and when I got to the cues after the audience search, the movers carried on moving moving to the circle effect again but with no intensity, and all though out the subsequent cues I made, moving to the previous effect I had set but with no intensity. Where am I going wrong. I have the desk in cue only mode. Thanks

Couldn't seem to get this to work, when I used Shift + View to go back the cursor was still in the channel window, not the cue list. If I remember, going into setup and back out again moved the cursor into the cue list but I'll confirm that later.

I've been using the FLX for some time now without understanding a lot of the features, it's been pretty much turn it on and go (says something about the intuitiveness of the desk 👍) without really knowing what mode the desk has been in but after playing around with some more advanced settings I cant get my head round smart tag. I understand tracking, where and changes I make to a cue will be tracked into the next cues etc but I cant figure out smart tag. When you change a parameter, that gets tagged, so when you press record, the tagged parameter gets recorded but the manual says any fixtures with an intensity of 0 will not be recorded. Does this mean that if in cue 5, I have 5 lights on at 100 % then bring one of them down to 0% and record cue 6, that change wont get recorded as the intensity is at 0% Sorry if this is a silly question, just trying to understand.

Thanks'll I'll check this out tomorrow!

I operate an flx with just a monitor, not a touchscreen and like to use a keyboard on the console controls to move around the cue list and set fade times for colours and intensities etc. Sometimes the "cursor" (the bit I'm selecting with the left, right, up & down arrow keys on the keyboard) gets itself up onto the fixture list so when I move left and right it just moves along the fixtures. Through some kind of dark art I manage to get it back onto the cue list by pressing the view button lots of times and other buttons but dint know exactly how I've done it. What is the way, without a touchscreen, to get the cursor down onto the cue list when it is up on the fixture list? Thanks

Hi Edward, Thanks for replying so quickly. I see what you mean, in my head, the position effect was applied to the fixture from its home position, I.e pointing straight down. I didn't realise that it would be applied at what position I had set the light at. Thanks

Hi, We've just had some funding to purchase a pair of moving heads, although I've used some before it's always been in the style of cue 1 point them here, cue 2 off cue 3 - on and points some where else etc, never in the style of moving them when they are on. I know there are built in effects for position on the FLX but how would I go about creating a cue where they move where I want them to in a pattern, for example in an audience search where they just move around on the audience. In my head the answer is to record a set of positions in a chase but would this give me nice smooth curves when they move or would they just go in a straight line from point to point, is the answer to this to increase the amount of steps in the chase? Thanks
