Hi,
I have question about the FadeIn FadeOut Hold an Duration in Chaser an Sequences:
I dont know is this is a feature or bug... (QLC 4.11.2 on Raspberry Pi Raspbian Linux)
Lets say i have 3 scenes all channels start with zero an the 2nd scene has higher value
so the FadeIn value should be in force and if the next scene value is less than the scene
before the FadeOut should be in force for my understanding. also the FadeOut Value is
never added to the Duration. What is the idea behind and how can i use this values optimal....
and how this values work together....?

I'm not exactly clear what your question is but, in a very simple Chase
Scene 1
Dimmer 1 = 0
Scene 2
Dimmer 1 = 255
Scene 3
Dimmer 1 = 128
In the Chase
Scene 1
Fade In = 0
Fade Out = 0
Hold = 2s
Scene 2
Fade In = 3s
Fade Out = 0
Hold = 4s
Scene 3
Fade In = 5s
Fade Out = 7s
Hold = 6s
In this scenario, when you enter the Chase, Dimmer 1 intensity will be 0, and will hold for 2 seconds, then Dimmer 1 intensity will take 3 seconds to fade up to 255, it will hold for 4 seconds, then Dimmer 1 intensity will take 5 seconds to fade down to 128, it will hold for 6 seconds, then Dimmer 1 intensity will take 7 seconds to fade back to 0.
I hope that helps.

Hi,
thanks for your respond. My question is exactly what you have explained.
and your example is what i'm expecting but it dont run like this . The FadeOut
time has no effect and it is not added to to duration time.
See screenshots....

QLC+ is designed to count fade in + hold in duration; fade out is not counted. Most probably the reason is that fadeout is started
after the function (scene,...) is stopped.
If you want to achieve your graph, insert black scene in between.
If you want to design & implement a better mechanism, you are most welcome

If the fadeout time really starts after a function stop would explain some things....
i didn't see or do not thought this is intended like this....
Ok with this in mind i can do some workarounds ...and i'm also a QT programmer and
sure i would have a lot of ideas ...but i read in some topics that Massimo dont change code on demand
.
I woudnt do it anyway too....
Thanks for your support.
