ML dimming

Question

I ran a cue #15, selected my ML - ran intensity up and used P&T to put a spot on an actor. Worked very well in Capture at home. 
 Then did the same thing onto a different actor in a later cue (#22). Again worked nicely. 
 However, when I move away from one of these (spotlight on actor) cues, onto the next (no spotlight) cue, instead of the ML intensity going to zero straight away the spot moves across the stage and only then shuts off. I.E it appears to be getting some new P&T position data before it gets the zero intensity stuff. I'm new to the ML scene and experimenting to see how Automark works etc. before I use the stage,

You have recorded the pan and tilt move in to the cue where the ML fades out. In order to make best use of Automark, you should build your cues like: 
 
 ML in position A and on 
 ML fade out but not change position 
 ML fade up in position B 
 
 The console will mark the ML (move the ML while dark to the new position) between 2 and 3. 
 If you look at the cue list, you should see a "L" in the MV column for cues that have lights moving while on, and a "D" for cues where the lights are moving while dark.

rather than manually put in the same coordinates as the previous cue, just tell the console not to do anything. so in cue 16 you say Chan 1 At Enter (which makes it stay put) and then press Out because you do want to have it fade out.
