Fade One Channel within a Cue

[diacong]

Newbie here so please be patient.

In our production there is a scene set in a living room with a window onto the garden in late afternoon. As darkness approaches I want to slowly dim the lighting in the room (which I'm able to do) but I would also like the channel that controls lamp illuminating the garden to fade quicker than those in the room thus emphasising the approach of evening. I'm unable to work out how to do this or even if it's possible. After a while the room lights are turned on and the curtain over the window drawn and this forms the next cue.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thankyou.

You need two cues with the different fade times for each set of lights related to the room and garden lighting. Be sure to record with tracking (i.e. don't record snapshot cues).

On the second cue (say the garden lights), edit its setup to make it start with the first cue (room lights). This should be in the Cue Settings under Trigger (or something like that!).

Use: Auto (with previous cue)

I would do this using two cues, that run simultaneously. 

I would have one cue, that just fades the garden lighting. You could then have this cue with one fade time set. You may wish this cue to run automatically after the previous cue. For example if the previous cue brings the lights up, this cue can then start running automatically, slowly fading out the garden throughout the duration of the scene.

I would then have another cue that controls the room lighting. This cue could then have a different fade time, however be triggered with the previous cue.

Hope this helps,
