NEWBIE QUESTION - using pallets

hi folks:

I know its something dumb im doing but i cant find it (prehaps not enough caffeine yet)

I have 2 studio spot 250s sitting on the stage for some effects for a show on wednesday. i take control of them and swing them to a positon that i want them to be aimed at. I dont sent any parameters other than position and intensity (so i can see where they are pointing) I select the lights and hit record {Position pallet 2) adn give it a name.

My understanding was then that as i was doing other stuff, i could set an intensity, and select the 2 spots from the group directory, and hit that pallete and have them swing back there but they arent moving -- what have i done wrong?

{about 15 minutes later} -- i just discovered if i select the position pallet and touch the pan or tilt wheels they will swing to where they were programmed to go

{update 10:12} -- must have been a board issue -- i rebooted the board and it works right now -- things are going swimmingly!



Thanks

  • Hi Brad:

    My version is current within the last 2 months -- im not sure specifically -- im in my computer lab at the moment catching up on e-mail etc while my students are working

    There is nothing else running on that machine -- im very careful about keeping it clean--- i have to learn to reboot it every now and then esp when ive been fiddling with stuff a lot -- because the moving lights are a new addition (just picked them up last night) i have been trying to learn how to use them for the show on wednesday night, and i probably did something crazy in that mess
