Parameter Times In Reference Palette Don't Indicate In Recorded Cue List

Ver 2.0 509b
FB4

Cuelist fade and delay times will indicate default cuelist time values when cues are recorded from a reference palette that contains independent parameter time values.

Repro....

Make sure default programming timing in preferences is set to 2 sec globally.

Make sure position directory has mask set up to allow Position, Intensity and Time.

1. Select mover 1
2. Set tilt +90 and intensity full
3. Press "Time 1 Enter"
4. Press "Intensity Time Time .25 Enter"
5. Record as a Reference palette in position directory, making sure to include Position, Intensity and time. Name palette "Reference"
6. Without clearing the programmer, Record as a Direct palette in position directory, making sure to include Position, Intensity and time. Name palette "Direct"

7. Using the two palettes created, record each one into its own cue. You will notice that the cue that was recorded from the direct palette will show the proper times in the cuelist window, but the cue that was recorded with the reference palette will show a fade time of 2 sec and a delay of 0 sec which is the default time values.

I understand that the cuelist is not indicating proper timing values since it is referencing a palette, but now that we have the ability to create and program using timing palettes, it might be a bit confusing if the cuelists are indicating wrong times.

Thanks

    [QUOTE=c_muenchow;71302]Jeff, I am a little thrown off by this procedure as your repro involves recording a reference palette from the programmer but there are no references to palettes in your programmer when you record the position palette with "allow refs" enabled. Is there something I am missing here? Perhaps there is a misunderstand of what "allow refs" does?


    It's my fault for using the term "Reference Palette". I was using the term Reference Palette" to define any palette that is not a "Direct" Palette. Sorry bout that.

    So if you follow my repro, you will see that even though both palettes, the direct one and the one that was recorded without the direct option, are used to record two separate cues, the cue that was recorded with the direct palette will indicate the correct time values in the playback bar and the cuelist window, where the cue that was recorded by using the non direct palette displays incorrect time values (Default time values) in the playback bar and the cuelist window.

    Hope that explains my miscommunication.
