Effect changes when i record it to the playback

[sossy]

Hello,

I use the Showtec Phantom 70 Beam RGBW and I used the Fly In effect and when I'm in channel mode the effect is normal but when I press record and put it on a playback channel the effect is not the same as it was when I adjust it in channel mode. 

Is here someone with an similar problem or someone with a solution for my problem

many thanks Jakpb

When using this effect, make sure both intensity and position fade times are the same. Otherwise one element of the effect will lag behind the other, and they won't be in sync. Therefore when you have recorded this onto a playback, press and hold VIEW and tap the playback's button, and then edit the cue fades so intensity and position match.

Hope this helps,

Edward

Maybe a good idea for the next version of FlexOS, to store intensity and position fade time the same while recording to a playback. Will maybe avoid some confusion of the user if he found a great effect/setting, and after recording this looks different.

To change the fade time defaults, tap SETUP -> Defaults -> Cue Fades.

You can then set them to be the same if you wish.

So, to understand the problem of sossy: my default setup (after resetting) is 3 sec. for "Fade up" and "Position", so the phenomenon of sossy will not show up at my console? Unless I choose to use different times. Correct?

The default fades for Intensity, Colour and Position are 3 seconds. However, the first cue in a playback will always default to a 0 second fade on intensity. This therefore gives you control of the intensity using the fader, rather than a fade automatically running. Therefore when @sossy stored this effect as a single cue on a playback, intensity was 0 seconds and position was 3, so they became out of sync. He could therefore dial out the fade time for position in that playback, or he could have changed the position defaults before storing.

Hope this helps,

Edward
