Content effect question:


Let say that you have yellow color on one wash head.
then  you run a rgb effect as a content effect.

how do you get back to the same color (yellow) as you had before you run the content effect?
When i do this it allways  leaves a pallete that was used i the last runned step in the serie.

It's like it dosent remember what colour it was before i runned the effect.

    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.
