I don't know if this timing is respected in places where this scene is used tough... You will have to check.

I know edit the time of scenes.....
I need to edit the time 0s that has default. Understand?

That the project has a default for example 5s always.
It takes a long time to edit the timing of each scene one by one....

Thanks friends.
Kind Regards.

Ok I see ... trying to set default values for new scenes.
Did you try to mass edit those by looking at the project file in a text editor? This could partly be a solution?

Hi GGGss, how are you?

It´s the same....edit the time on the project file in a text editor or in a QLC....
It´s not possible modify the general configuration or something like this? and have a project that takes 5 seconds of fade in or fade out for example?

Thanks

One way is to just create a blank scene and then set the fade times you prefer and then rather than create a new scene, just clone that one.

I often use some 'standard scenes' that have the basics all set and then clone them rather than create new. Also, you will find that when you add fixtures to scenes, the fixtures are stored in the order you add them. It can useful, for quick selections, to have a standard scene with the lights in the order you prefer to work with and then you can quickly select groups of fixtures.

I am not sure what your use is, but for theatre type applications then using a cuelist allows you to change timing parameters for multiple cues at once. That can be a time saver and basically ignores the timings in the scenes themselves.

So as noted for using a cuelist:
  • Create all your Scenes/Collections etc.. as normal, don't put timings here.
  • Add them all to a single Chase Image in order ( details here https://www.qlcplus.org/docs/html_en_EN ... ditor.html )
    • At the bottom .. set "Fade In Speed", "Fade Out Speed" and "Duration" to Common
    • Set the timing you want on one of the scenes for fade in and out
    • Set the duration to infinite
  • Add the Chase to a Cue List Image on the Virtual Desktop
    • Edit the Cue List and set Key Combinations for Next Cue and Previous Cue ( suggest you DON'T use keys right next to each other ;)
  • Go into Operate mode Image
  • Cue the show with your timings
