Are Lighting States on UDKs Included When Recording Playbacks

[JayCloth]

I’m interested in buying an FLX to be brief (as an upgrade from a solution). I probably will anyway as it’s a trivial question but I’m intrigued nonetheless.

I have some house lights on a latch UDK. I need the house lights up during programming but don’t want the house lights to be stored in the playbacks. Is it possible to prevent this without using an inhibit fader and without turning off smart tags? I just want a button with house lights on it that doesn’t affect any of my other Qs.

It will by default if you’re using Smart Tag.

The house lights question has come up on the forum a few times recently, I’m not sure it should be a big issue.

As in it will record into show playbacks by default?

Maybe a feature request for UDK setup - Record ignores UDK state?

For those coming back to this at a later date, have a look at the video below and skip to 24:56. In rehearsal, you can park the house lights on and turn their intensity down meaning they’re now at 100% intensity but being recorded as 0% intensity. You just need to setup a park/unpark UDK to do this.
