Content effect question:

To quote Richard in a similar post:

This is because attributes are LTP and the Content Effect is still running until the Effect Playback has faded out to zero.
So the effect continues to happen during the fade out, and any Effect LTP color changes that happen during the fade will override the color change from the incoming step.

The solution in Cobalt 7.1.1 and older is to stop the effect before the colour change happens.

Eg: Use an FCB (or parameter) delay time to wait until the Content Effect ends, and optionally a Channel Time on the Content Effect Playback to stop the effect earlier (if required)

In the upcoming v7.2 (beta "soon") we're adding a "Return To" parameter for Content Effects that you can use instead.

What happens if, in the Preset after the effect, you a) set the wash head to yellow, and also b) set the Content Effect Playback to Series : Empty? Attributes snap rather than following step timing, so you should be able to go yellow without additional time editing. 

That sounds Nice. Can you tell me when you is planning to release 7.2?

I have no idea, sorry!

"Soon"
Cobalt 7.2 is currently in the early stages of beta.
