cue list problem

I set up a series of cues by moving my lights to various positions and then doing Record, 1 Record, 2 etc. A number of cues show up in the cue list. For that same master, (i have the same one selected with its choose button) I go and hit the play button (i tried both the one for the master and the big global one) nothing happens. When I go to output it doesn't show anything changing at all. In the cue list display it shows some data next to each cue as it's trying to "play" it i.e. >> J52% and those roll through. I tried the Skip Forward keys as well, it shows different cues but nothing at all happens, the lights are exactly as they were before I hit Play.


Also problem #2 i did what it said with saving effects engine to pallete - i selected a bunch of effects and then did Record and clicked an empty pallete, then later when i clicked that pallete the effects did not start.

Is there something I'm missing to make these functions work? At a standstill right now because cannot get it to play back any cue lists.

Thanks

    1) In the cuelist options you will need to make a chase. Assuming your not using an older version you can hold the choose button and the options will appear in the bottom toolbar. Also holding the choose button and turning the first encoder wheel will change the rate of the chase.

    2) Learning the effects engine may be a little confusing at first but is a great tool once you understand it. The technobeam has a strobe effect you can adjust in the programmer by pressing "intens" and adjusting the last encoder wheel. The strobe was probably greyed out in the effects because you need to give the strobe a hard value in the programmer before you can use it.

    3) You will have to adjust the focus for each cue if you want to stay in focus in different positions.

    For new hog users the Manual is your best friend. After a while you'll catch on and things will be easier.

    Best of luck
