Content effect

Hello,

In part of my sequence list I have a preset that triggers a content effect which turns some of the set RGB LED items to Blue from left to right. The effect works fine but when I go to my next preset the LED continues to stay in Blue despite the preset telling them to go to Red. I am currently using the Refresh button once I have cross faded but it's not ideal. Any suggestions?

Many thanks

Alex

  • A Content Effect continues to run until its Intensity reaches zero, and all Attribute parts of a Content effect are pure LTP. (Intensity is HTP)

    This means it'll continue to run during the downfade and (depending on timing) may override attributes in the incoming preset because of the LTP nature.

    To solve this, adjust the timing in the sequence to make the change to Red happen after the Content Effect has stopped.

    For example:

    • Set a Delay for the colour attributes in the incoming Preset so they start the change to Red after the Content Effect stops.
    • (optionally) Set a short Channel Time on the Content Effect to stop it faster (so the delay can be shorter)

    Alternatively, you could add an extra step using the same Preset with a short Wait and Snap time.
    This method is an automated version of your current [Refresh] solution.

    We know this isn't ideal and can be a bit confusing, so we are looking at ways to improve the way Content Effects stop.
