Complete the EFX Editor with Fade Times

[Sidlomydlo]

If this "sum" is possible and true, then each fade-in/out time should behave on its own independently, this is what I would expect.
Thanks Massimo.

Hi Massimo, I agree with @giacomo that this would be nice behaviour. After turning off an EFX with lets say 20 widght and 40 hight and 1s fade-out, the EFX should still run for 1 sec and both parameters should continually change to 0. (Widght with speed of 20/s and hight 40/s).

If new EFX starts after first one, then it should fade-in same way and works on top of previous EFX like it works on top of scene in relative mode. Of course this will work when EFXs are set to relative. When set to absolute, next EFX might fade-in its parsmeters and also fade to correct starting point as two scenes fade between each other.

I’m looking forward to updates.
Thanks, Massimo

I have no idea how to implement EFX fade out, especially when another EFX is supposed to fade in in the next cue.
That is why this is not complete.

Hi Massimo,

I want to let you know that new EFX fade-in in last version works great, even when one EFX is starting on top of another EFX running. That's certainly big step forward. I believe that fade-out would work too if you just reverse the behaviour of fade-in mechanism.

Thank you very much for your work.

If life just would be that easy ...

Thinking about it... Would a virtual copy of the running EFX be a solution? This one would function as long as the fade-out is set and the parameters dim to zero?? One would of course need a snapshot so the previous running one, so the overlap between the two won't be noticed.

+1 for Sidlomydlo, this feature is so necessary and common that qlc+ must have it,
someone else would like to support this request?
Thanks.

Maybe a simplification could be to allow only the mixing of an absolute with a relative EFX?
It would be already a nice compromise, I had this idea watching this grandMA tips / @ 1:31 example:

Or to simplify more, we can agree that the new EFX will stomp the old one, fading in following its own time.
When the first EFX fade out it's important, we can always add an extra step in the cue list to allow the fade out.

Were there any new thoughts on this? I noticed it seems to be the same in the most recent v4. Maybe coming in v5? I also have a MIDI-based that requires a lot of downbeat trigger/cancelling of EFX such that the jerky response cannot be masked. EFX fade in AND out would be incredibly useful!
