The chases disappears from the masters

Hi there -

I think to help we're going to need more information. How are you linking the masters to the steps? Using a master link should not make chases disappear, unless the master link itself contains different master contents. The master link will load whatever contents are included in the master link itself, which means if another page is loaded or other contents are loaded to that master manually, the master link will always play back the correct (or at least the included) contents from the link. Please check that the master link contains the chase you intend to play back. I think you should be able to attach a show file to a post here in the forums. If the above advice hasn't solved the problem, please give us a copy of your show file so we can take a look at exactly what's going on.

I hope this helps - 

Thanks -

Sarah

Hi there -

Reply to this message and look in the lower right corner of the reply area, click the USE RICH FORMATTING option. This gives you a bunch of formatting icons above the text you type in. Choose the icon that looks like a film clip standing on end (second row near the middle). Choose your show file and let it attach. The message will look strange until you post it, once it's posted it should look ok.

Thanks!

Sarah

I might have found something that helped me. When I update an existing step there is an option under advanced called Register attribute-mode. I changed that to all, and now the chases seem to work in the steps as I wish, THOUGH they are still missing from the masters??

fattiga barn.ascSorry, this is the one.

As I thought, the master links don't have any content in them. I suggest setting your chase effect playbacks to the settings you want to use (which chase/what taprate) and then recording these settings into a preset. Place the preset on the master. Use the master link to trigger the master containing that preset (include the preset and number in the ContentType/Content cells in the master link). This will guarantee the proper playback of your chases.

The way this showfile is currently set up is with the effect playback directly assigned to the master playback. This means that the master will raise and lower the effect playback's intensity, but the master has no knowledge of the other parameters of the effect (like which chase should play back and at what speed). Only by configuring and recording your effect playback into a preset can you guarantee the state of the effect playback.

It's like assigning an LED fixture or a moving light channel directly to a master - the master can raise and lower intensity of that channel, or select that channel by pressing a button, but the master cannot change any other parameters of the fixture, like color or pan/tilt, because those parameters aren't controlled by the master. It's the same with effect playbacks.

Does this help?

Thanks much -
