I have a ballyhoo created in the effects engine. I wanted the ballyhoo to stop moving leaving everything else the same. I tried halting the cuelist wich worked with rgb chases but had no effect on the ballyhoo.
The only way to Cheat this is to hold the Chooser down and ramp the the Cuelist Effect Rate down to 0%. This will basically pause any Effects you have running in the running cue.
You can record a cue right after the ballyhoo with the FX speed at 0 this will stop them from moving where they are and will allow you to go back and continue the bally

I'm just curious how this is possible. The minimum possible speed in FX engine is 0.0001. So, FX never stops...it crawls.
Quite a long time one of my requests have been a true halt of FX. Like when you stop it, it stops right there as fast the fixture can stop. Also, we are also missing an effect snapshot. There's no way to take a snapshot of the output of an effect...which would quite nice for creating random looks... What is the situation with bug #1105?
Old thread about the FX rate problem. forums.highend.com/showthread.php?t=5005
I am not sure what bug you are referring to as #1105 is a very old v1.0 bug that was resolved long ago. However we are planning a rework of the effects engine in an upcoming cycle so hopefully we will resolve the problem you discus as part of that work.
Pause to effect would be great. Using choose + Cuelist Effect Rate is just too slow to operate live. Not a problem when running theater style shows but this feature would be really useful in on time events with previously unknown bands etc.
This is a feature that I've been wondering about since I've started doing more live shows. An ability to "Freeze" the output; bally's, color scrolls, gobo spins, individual or global control, etc...hopefully with a resume option. Similar to *groan* Light Jockey's so named feature. Jumping to a stable cue can often result in a sweep to position instead of a nice stop. I found this thread and that seemed to be what was being discussed. The last post was in May of 2010 and it is August of 2011. A new release has just come out.
if we are all putting in a wish list, can we add a Fx reverse?? I know you can do it by offsetting the numbers but a simple button would be fast and great.
