Writing EffectSub vaules into Cue - ION 1.9

while running the cue, and with a clear command line, you would tap the [effect] key to open the effect status window.  In there you can adjust the rate, as well as size and other things if it is a linear effect, and update your cue.  

Thanks. I am familiar with doing that, but if I am running effects across 100 cues at different rates, that is a lot of manual work to have to update the effect rate per cue.

I would like for it to save the current rate/size as selected by the effectsub level when I record that cue.

We are building a new cue list 2x a week, so anything I can do to figure out how to reduce the amount of manual changes made, will save me a lot of time I already dont have each week.

Currently there is no great way to streamline your process (That I have found).   There is an effects rework coming up - though the timing is very TBD.  In terms of using subs with effects to create looks here are a few things I'm hoping to see

1) Ability to use "Make Manual" and other tools to capture the effect data and it's overrides

2) Provide a place to store all that information that is referenceable - like in a preset

3) Ability to freeze an effect or series of effects and extract the absolute data so it can be recorded as a static look.

If you have other needs/thoughts on effects now is probably a good time to make those requests.  

I would vote for this. On my grandMA console you can have an effect that has a specific size/rate value, or you can reference those values from a fader. On that console I have an effect fader for intensity and one for movement. I point any intensity effects (strobe, intensity chases) to one effect speed fader, and any movement effects (ballyhoo, circle) to a second effect speed fader.

Then like the OP requests, I can fire off a bunch of effects simultaneously, and run the effect speed faders up and down with the mood.

I would vote for all of Patrick's suggestions - big time.  As I've said in the past, think about the seemingly simple request to "make channels X thru Y do what they were doing in Cue Z" if those channels were selected in a specific, non-numeric order, and then had an effect applied to them which then had both a rate and size change.

I thought the GrandMA solution to this problem was pretty good.  Originally, it thought about effects the same way as EOS, but now, when an effect is stored into a cue, a new effect is created with all the rate/size/grouping changes plus the selection order.

I would also vote for Aaron's suggestion of effects and cuelist rate masters - they would make busking or dance parties SO MUCH BETTER on EOS.  I hate eating up 2 handles with "slow" and "fast" versions.
