Led intensity level in cue play back

Question

Ok weird thing going on. I&rsquo;m recording cues with led fixtures&hellip; I record them with 100% intensity but when the cue is played they only come up to 81%.???

It sounds like you have recorded some channels with "dim" manually-mixed (direct) LED colors. 
 To ensure gel crossfades always work as expected, ColorSource normalizes direct LED color mixes to have at least one emitter at full. The main reason for this is that recording black or near black LED colors is very confusing, as the light may have a full Intensity - yet is actually (nearly) off! 
 So if you set all the direct LED color parameters less than full, when you record it will bring them up proportionally to the "brightest version of" your color, and reduce the Intensity so the actual light output is unchanged. 
 To avoid this normalization, make sure that at least one LED color is at full when manually mixing colors.
