Key colors

Hello everyone,

- We have 70 different scenes in a Cue List.
- Everyone is different but 26 of them also have some ParLED with the same color (ex: Red 255 Green 180 Blue 20 ).
- If I need to change the color of these three scenes I'm constrained to operate on each single scene.

What I need is to set a key color which, when I modify it, the new color will be applied to every scene that has it.
Unfortunately we must use Cue List only for different reasons...

Hope someone can help us!
Thank you!!!

Can you post the qxw file so we can have a look?

I think you can do:
- create scene only for that ParLED
- remove ParLED from other scenes
- create collections for each scene + parled scene
- add those collections to chaser/cue list instead of the scene.

HOWEVER:
if you are using cue list in SImple Desk tab, the above will not help you.
EIther convert to Virtual Console stuff, or open the qxw in text editor and edit the XML source.
If you are indeed using simple desk's cue list, can you describe the reasons?
This part is pretty limited what it can do, and moving to VC would open more possibilities.
If we know the reason, we may help you find a solution (or not :) )

Thank you for your answer... I see what you mean... Is a good workflow, a bit longer for programming (I think) but good...

If someone has other ideas, maybe operating directly in scenes please tell us!
In the meantime I will try to follow your suggestions @janosvitok ! Thank you again!
