I pretty new to this lightshow software , i am doing an art show and is using colored light as a part of this . I found your software after been trying out Freestyle and some of the others that cost Money :-) . But it looks like q light is the rigth one. What i need is to make an longer chase/show that maybe runs for 30 min. but i need it to loop . The exhibition is running 24/7 like for a month . Is the a way to make the show loop becaus it looks like the the show module is the most visuale way for me to cope with both what the ligth is doing and what is happening with the installation art i have in the room. A quick answers would be nice, sorry i hve had my head in this for a week now , i have an opening in 2 weeks and would prefere not to use like an analog mixing thing which i used before but there is a limit to how long i can make the fades and have the colors fixed.

I think I would make a chaser with the show as the only step and set the duration to be just a little bit longer than the shows length.

No, the chaser is not big.

The chaser contains ONE element: the show itself.

I don't believe that it is possible to loop a show.

Not a big chaser. Just one step, which is your show. Duration of the step just a little bit longer that your show so that when the step times out it will restart.

That is what I was thinking.

Have attached a quick example.

Do let us see a video of the finished installation and set up once you have finished.
