"0" level in LED colors causing issues

Hi there -

Go to the cell you want to delete and press DELETE. Repeat for other cells. You can also select multiple cells if they are touching (like red, green and blue)  by using the SELECT key and arrows, or the SHIFT key when working on a PC. Confirm that you want to delete the selection. You will need to then press UPDATE to store the changes in the preset in question. If you delete something by accident, press ESC and then CANCEL when asked if you want to keep your changes.

I hope this helps -

Thanks -

Hi again -

If you don't want to delete actual values from the preset, but don't want the color information to cause problems on masters, you could also place a mask on the master itself. This would keep certain parts of your preset from playing back on that master. 

The clearest way to see what you're doing is to open the master page editor and scroll all the way over to the right to the MASK column and press MODIFY ( or ENTER on a PC). This will open the mask editor for that master and a check mark by the parameter name indicates that that parameter is allowed to play back. Go to the parameters you wish to mask and press MODIFY/Enter on the check mark cell to turn that parameter off. Repeat to turn that parameter back on. You may need to reload the master page to have the new masking take effect.

Hope this helps.

Thanks -

^That's keen.

Sarah,

That's what I thought, but it's not doing it...  I'm in the live tab, in the preset, spreadsheet editing is enabled.  I'm in palette mode...  Is that my problem?  How do I change the mode

Hi -

Don't do this in Live, do this in the Preset Attribute Editor directly. # PRESET & ATTRIB or go into the Presets List and select the Attributes cell and press MODIFY.

There's no way to "disappear" information in Live, since it's showing you the current state of the devices. If you wanted to keep the system from recording the color information from the get go, use the MASK button to enable masking, then use MASK & Wheel Key to mask out parts of the fixture you don't want to record.

So, to sum up: 

Masking can be used before recording to hide (mask) parameters from the record function.

Editing in the Preset Attribute Editor tab using DELETE can be used to remove recorded information from existing presets.

Masks can be applied to Masters in the Master Page editor to keep recorded parameters from playing back.

Hope this helps!

Thanks much!

Sarah

Sarah,

Thanks, you rock!

I was unable to attend your Congo class here in the States last summer...   Will you be returning this year?

Thanks again!
