ION auto load scrollers

I know i've done something wrong in my first show on my ION.  I thought scrollers automatically set to their desired color for the following cue so as to not have to set them one cue early.  I have them first appearing in cue 2 as *** amber.  Cue 2 is a 5 second fade up.  Because *** amber is only 2 frames from the first frame - clear - and follows a yellow frame the 5 second fade was able to roll it to the desired color while cue 2 was loading and I didn't see it at first.  Tonight I saw the transition from yellow to amber as the cue started coming up.  I then went out to the rig and watched the cues transition and I saw the scroller slowly rolling through the 5 second transition.

For now i fixed it by inserting the scrollers into cue 1.5 to set them.

So my question is what might i have done wrong that didn't cause them to auto set in cue 1.5?  I also noticed two other cues later in the show that only have 1 scroller at a color and they also both rolled to the color when the cue came up.  I also set them in the cue prior.

BTW they are patched as a part 2 to each of the channels who hold them.

    You'll need Auto Mark turned on if you want your scrollers to set themselves up. On Ion this is an option, Element runs AutoMark as a default.

    [Displays] {Setup} {Show}

    You might want to have a read of Tea Break Tutorial number 21 - this will talk you through how it works.

     

    Hope that helps
