Chaser inside a chaser with different fade times
Posted: Fri Feb 15, 2019 12:41 pm
Hello!
I have spent some time going through the forum and using the search, but I can't find a solution for this problem. I have found some older topics with the nested chaser fade time problem, but for them there wasn't yet a perfect solution (maybe it has changed now?) or maybe I just don't know the correct key words for my problem.
The situation:
1. Scene 1 - static light
2. Chaser (3 lights that turn on/off in a loop, lets call it "disco") - starts and Scene 1 fades out. (So far, so good. )
3. Scene 2 - static light slowly fades in while Disco Chaser fades out, still doing the same flashing speed, just the maximum brightness going lower.
And here lies the problem: If I add in the main chaser a fade out time for this specific step (nested chaser) - this affects also everything inside the disco chaser as well.
So far I have solved this situation like this:
In a solo frame I have a cue list from the show until the specific chaser, and a slider, that controls only the Disco chaser. In a new frame - the cue list for the show following the Disco chaser part.
At the moment I can do what I need by starting the show normally, then bringing the slider to maximum which starts the chaser and cuts off the previous scene making it fade out. And afterwards I can start the next cue-list and bring down the slider manually, which saves the speed, but brings down maximum brightness values, while the new scene fades in.
Question - is it possible to make it more elegant and maybe integrate in one cue list widget so that it is more fool-proof?
I have added the file, where the situation is presented how it looks at the moment.
Thank you!
