Fan and Overlapping Cues

I have several cues with fanned delay times on color that are identical, timing wise. If I push go through them quickly I'd expect that each color would closely follow the one before it but this isn't the case (and no, I am technically not overriding because I'm waiting long enough for the first fixture to finish executing the previous cue).

What happens is the color will freak out and go to time zero on some of the fixtures which really doesn't make too much sense for a tracking console. Seems like they should stay unaffected.

    Jason, the developers and I have read this post, and we are all slightly confused by what you mean.  Could you be a bit more explicit?

    Thanks much!

    Okay, three cues, -First Cue has 6 channels in Blue. No discreet timing. -Second Cue has the same 6 channels in Red, all time 0.5 but with fanned delay with ch1 delay 0, ch2 delay 0.2, ch3 delay 0.4, ch4 delay 0.6, ch5 delay 0.8 and ch6 delay 1. -Third Cue is identical in timing for the same 6 channels but are in color Blue.

    -Second Cue has a follow of 0.5.

    I would expect that the transition from cue 2 to 3 would be a smooth pass of Blue to Red to Blue and it is for the first few fixtures but it's almost like the last cue 'catches up' and makes the outfade (the transition back from red to blue) go in time zero.

    Attached video has 12 fixtures for dramatic impact. You can see the last six fixtures snap back to blue. (show file also attached)
