ML Newbie, How to avoid changing 2 cues when updating 1, with ML

 Hi Everyone!

 

I'm new to using ML with the Element. I'm trying to use a Moving Light with cues. I'm in Cue mode Only. I have setup 3 cues (for the exemple)

 

Q8: The ML is pointing forward, and is red, intensity 100%

Q8.9: Blackout Q: The ML dims intensity 0% and then, it moves (MK) to the settings of Q9

Q9: The ML is pointing backward, is blue, intensity 100%

 

This works perfectly fine... The issue I have is, let's say I want to modify Q8 Live, and change to color to Orange... So I do the change in ML Control, then Record-Cue-Enter and it's saved. However, when I replay all this, when I go to 8.9, the colors does not change to be ready for Q9 once intensity is at 0. Channel display of the colors are in blue and stay at a value. Then when I launch Q9, then it will change to to Blue.

The solution that I found was: BLIND - Cue 8.9 @ Enter - Cue 8.9 @ 0 - LIVE: And it works back as before

 

So I would like to know how can I make a live change to Q8 and save it, without having to change Q8.9. I also tried using Update instead of Record Cue but does the same thing (for this)...


Thanks!

    Because you're in cue only mode, the console protects the next cue. So it leaves the original color in your blackout. The fact that MK used to override this doesn't matter. So now the console thinks you have a deliberate change of color while fading out, it deactivates MK for this channel in this blackout.

    In this case you should use Update Track when changing cue 8. You get the word track by using the QOnly/Track button.

    Tracking is a powerful concept which can get unexpected results when you're​ not completely familiar with the concept or with what your movers do at any given time. do you understand how tracking works?
