Hello

I looked on the forum but could not find the answer : When i start a scene function after a chaser , the chaser finishes the last step with a fading , even in a solo frame

Is there any way to stop the chaser instantly ,without any fading, to avoid color mixing between the ending chaser and the new scene ?

Thx !

Verify that the scene, used as the last one in your chaser has no inbuilt fade times.
Next set the fade times in your chaser 'Fade Out Speed: Per Step'.
Now you set the fade-out time for the last step to 0.

This should solve your problem.

Thx GGGss

Every scene has no inbuilt fade time , and my chaser is a per step chaser (only 2 steps in loop)

So i set every step on 0 fade out time , and my problem is solved for chaser => scene change , good !!

But in the reverse order ( fixed scene => chaser ) , same problem , the fade in mixes 2 colors during the fade in time

I need to keep the fade in time in my chaser

What do you expect? You want a color change and to use a fade in... it is inherent that colors do mix.
The only solution I see here is to 'dim through black' or fade through another less disturbing color.

In my show , i can find this sequence:

Fixed Scene => Chaser (multiple scenes) => Fixed Scene

What i expect is only fade between the chaser scenes , not between fixed scenes and chaser

Maybe this kind of utilization is not possible

As long the fixed scenes don't have any fade times included, this should work out of the box.
Maybe I can help if you send in your project...
