Pan & Tilt of a moving head set by a Playback is changed by a Q in the master playback

[penlec]

I am at a loss on how to record a cue in the master playback without changing the Pan & Tilt of a moving head set by a Playback (for example PB6) that has not been selected changed by a Q in the master playback.

My master playback cues is changing the colour of some LED PARS and Fresnels. With Tracking enabled these are all selected, just selecting colour, the moving heads are NOT selected, and yet the moving heads are shown in the program window for this cue.

For example, PB6 move the MH to say Pan 56, Tilt 54, when a master PB is run it moves the head back to 50, 50.

I am running 7.14.2 SW.

I should be grateful if anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong or conversely what I need to do to achieve my aim.

Many thanks for any help in this annoying problem that I have, Brett

Hi Brett,

Please tap the RECORD button to open the Record Options window. You should see a "SmartTag" button. You may wish to disable SmartTag, so that it has a blue stripe on its button. This will mean the console will only include parameters you have manually adjusted when recording/updating. Unchanged parameters, or parameters currently being controlled by other cues, will not be included when recording/updating. If SmartTag is enabled, the console will decide what does and what doesn't get included.

Hi Edward,

Fortunately I only had 14 cues so I deleted the stack and did it again this time I don't seem to have the problem.

How could I have removed the offending problems without deleting the stack and creating again? After all if I had many more cues I wouldn't have liked to start again!

Thanks, Brett

Hi Brett,

In this situation I would have used the Output Window Preview function, or the Fixture Levels window, to work out which cue the movers were incorrectly recorded in.

Then, I would have gone into that cue, selected the fixtures, tapped HOME, tapped UPDATE, and in the Update Options window disabled "SmartTag", enabled "Track Forwards" and "Remove", and then tapped the playback's GO button.
