aurora borealis light effect

Question

I'm new to Eos and I'm trying to make an aurora borealis effect with 5 spectracyc 200 rgbw 608s and all of the forums/guides haven't been helpful so far. How do i go about making this effect?

This might be something you could use pixelmapping for. An Effect Layer with one of the random red blue patterns using blue and green as start and end color.

For the general understanding of pixelmapping you can find some videos here: https://www.etcconnect.com/Support/Tutorials/Expert-Topics/Virtual-Media-Server.aspx 
 This is what i did for a quick mock-up, assuming those 5 fixtures are channel 1 to 5: 
 Tab 9: 
 In Live set your fixtures at full with RGB all at full. 
 I set the server channel at full (Chan 10 in my case), Crossfade at -100 (that's its minimum): 
 And set the following values for the effect layer (Chan 11 in my case): Intens At Full Intens_3 At 50 Start color: choose something green/cyan End color: chose something blue/cyan Playback_Speed 20 File Input_File_Select_1 Width 5 Height 1 
 Tab 10 shows you a preview, this is what i get: 
 I hope this helps!
