Fast forward/pause

[beyond the blue]

Is there anyway to fast forward and pause a long fade (15 minutes) to see the lighting state at say 10 minutes into the fade before recording it? FLX S48 with external monitor.

Could speed override (see manual here) help?

There's also Pause, here.

You wouldn't be able to preview this transition prior to recording the cue. I would recommend recording the cue, and then as per @Davidmk's suggestion, you could use Speed Override to "fast forward" the transition, and then pause it. The fade progress bars are displayed at the bottom of the Cues window.

If you then needed to tweak the cue you've just recorded, allow the cue transition to complete, and then edit and update it.

As well as using the Speed Override encoder, you can configure a Speed Override playback fader. Please see the link below...

Hope this helps.
