Clear Function & Exit time for running Effect

Hi All;

I would like to know more about the "Clear Function" in EOS such as any different on 'Reset system', 'Clear & Reset Patch' and 'Clear show & Clear Target'.

Because the result seems to be the same when I executed the Clear or Reset patch for a simple show.

Another question is " How can I stop a running Effect with using a "Exit Time" when I chose " Fade by Size and Rate" or " Stop and Fade" inside the box of Exit function in effect parameter setup page? "{ select channels } [effect] enter" will immediately stop and hold the relative group of channels, however this command syntax is executed without applying the "Exit Time" of Effect Stop.

Is there any other options except input commands in command line or create a " stop effect macro" to stop a running effect?

    With regards to effects (to the best of my knowladge) when you stop them manually, the effects stop instantly.  If you then record that "stop" state into a cue, the exit times will be followed when running the effects.  Not sure if there is a way to have effects fade out when controlled manually (well. i'm sure there is a way, I just don't know of one)

    You could potentially write a second cue list which issues a stop effect command to the channels in question?  Not sure if it will work, but could be worth a try.

     Hope that helps

    Cheers
