Recording Chases into Stack

Hi Tom -

It's because you cannot embed a sequence within a step of the stack. It's not a feature of SmartFade.

Thanks much -

I beg to differ!

Although I'm using v3.0

I'm using it currently in my X-mas show. Although it took my forever to stumble upon how to create it, But IT CAN BE DONE!!!!!

What I did was this.... I think (console is at the theatre right now)

Record your Stack. Have your Seq. in 13 - 24 When using the record all fuction, when you get to that point in your stack, just hit the Seq. button. Make sure you have your page selected first.

I have mine set to Run mode Manual, because of live performances, so times are always different.

When you get to that point in your stack where the sequence is, lets say cue 14, and your in cue 13.9, push go (trying to explain in my terms, causing I'm using a SFML and a Insight3 w/ MIDI) so its diplaying cue 14 or whatever and make sure your already on the page your Seq. is on. Bring the fader up to full and tap the #? button. I recorded a blackout before the sequence, so it moves where I need them first. Move dark doesnt work for some reason. When finished, kinda at the same time or fader goes down first then quickly goto the next cue. 

 Just make sure you bring the Seq. fader up when your in the seq. part of the stack, cause it does turn off if your in the one before it, until the next cue is triggered.

 Any other questions, Let me know

And I hope by saying this, You (ETC) doesn't take out this feature, but continues to make it work and make it stable!!!
