Is it possible to have the ability to draw yourself the Pattern for movements in the EFX functions and save it?

Thank...

No.

But you can already do pretty much anything you want with moving heads. What do you want to achieve ?
(And please try to be very explicit)

It would be nice, as with Nicolaudie's ESA software to draw your own curves in with the mouse. Instead of using the 9 predefined curves, it would be nice to be able to drop your own points on a circle and make the lights move in any direction.

actually it would be great but at least save its settings is already good.

You need to make a NEW EFX function for each movement pattern you want.

I understand but if I want to use my pattern for different projectors must I start my design? again I do not understand why there is so little pattern by default.

Yes, it would be nice.
No, it's not easy to do.
This is something that would take a lot of time to implement.

What ?

You can put as many projectors you want in one EFX.
If you have all you projectors targeting the same location, you can have a scene that sets all your projectors as you want them to look at, and set the efx as relative.

>again I do not understand why there is so little pattern by default.

Because QLC+ is open source, and free, and people work on it in their free time.
