    Think moving lights. Your intensity level tells the moving light / effect it is at full. Next you set colour/Group number. Then you set all the other parameters of the moving light. If you now save the show and do not record this information for that moving light next time you load the show file all this info is gone.

    That is because moving lights reset to their home position or to default values from the fixture template when you load a show.
    If you now use a new effect and put this Effect on a Masterfader all you do is assigning the 'Intensity' for this effect to this Master. In order to record all the parameters of this effect you need to select this effect and record into a preset [Record]+[Master assign Key]. Remember that you only record what you have selected when you record to a Master.

    If you want two chases runing at the same time you need two chase effects.

    Also for more information have a look here ( http://community.etcconnect.com/forums/permalink/9426/9434/ShowThread.aspx#9434 )

    Hope that helps
