cueing

Hi louise,

there exist several possibilities to do this:

The 40min. cue could be a crossfade, all fades behind need to be movefades then....  (there will be a time controller for the XF on an attribute wheel, but you will have the limitation that move fades cannot run channeltimes..)

The 40min. cue could be a lockfade, all fades behind can be cross or movefade, the locked channels will not be affected ...(you can control the channels running in the lockfade with rate and pause on an attribute wheel, (there might be 2 controllers take the first one there seems to be a problem))

You could run the 40min cue in a master, triggered with a masterlink...(be careful, the same channels should not be recorded in the playback then, because of the HTP law)

Normally I use movefades to realize multiple cues, in a 40 minute case lock fade or masterlink might be more interesting.

Good luck

Yes - for this you use the function "Lockfade"

1. Create your initial look and record as normal.
2. Make the change you want to take place over 40 minutes and hit [Record]
• Important - don't make any other changes!
• All the changes you record now will be part of the "Lockfade"
  
3. Switch over to the Advanced tab in the Recording dialog
4. Change the box that says "Crossfade" into "Lockfade"
5. Set times (4000 [Modify] to enter a 40 minute time into the in and out boxes)
6. Hit [Record] to confirm
7. Now continue to record further cues as normal.

When you run this sequence, you'll see that the channels you changed in step 2 have a box underneath saying "T##L"

This indicates that these channels are about to execute a Lockfade, which will always complete in the recorded time regardless of what other cues are played while it is in progress.

Hi, just to discuss all aspects:

 There is a shortcut for recording move and lockfades. 

# + & record  for movefade

# - & record for lockfade

normally move and lockfade will record all channes that have been changed, but if you select the channels that shall be moved or locked, then only the selected ones will be recorded.This is more comfortable in the case you have tried out a lot (what is the normal case...) 

You also could move and lock attributes....

There is no sense in recording a crossfade and changing the behavior in  sequencelist (mode) afterwards, because you will lock everything....

Lock and Movefades cannot execute ch times and partfades....thats why it might be better to record the (sofisticated and chtime optimized) "40min sundowner" as crossfade and  execute it in another sequence or in a master.
