Pausing effects

I'm not sure if this is already possible, so if it is please enlighten me!
I'd like to be able to pause effects that are running in a cuelist. Eg. Q1 makes all movers do a circle effect, Q2 pauses all fixtures, Q3 continues the effect.

I realise you could just record a position into Q2 that is somewhere in the path of the effect but this will mean the fixtures will jump (or fade depending on fade time) to that position when the Q is triggered and not just stop where they are. Equally if it was a colour effect or an iris effect you wouldn't know where in the cycle the effect will be in order to record a hard value for this.

Hope this makes sense!

  • I tried to pause/freeze the FX and I remembered correct there's a few bugs in it...so it's not possible, the way it should. But, both Tom and Brad have logged those bugs and I think this will be fixed. I hope quite soon.

    But once again testing raised another problem... I tried to figure a way how to freeze things and first thing that came to my mind was Touch, but pretty soon I noticed it doesn't work that way...
    So, I have also a request for a button or syntax to take a snapshot of output.
