Hi all,

I'm currently creating a busking file that includes shape effects/keyframes for pan and tilt as well. However, currently, I assign these to a regular playback. If I then activate this playback you can see the movements from my fixtures to the desired position. I want my fixtures to move to the desired location without the dimmers being lightened up. Then when they are at there position and doing there effect I want the dimmer to turn on.

At this moment I've done this by changing the playback into a cue and turning on MiD. However I was wondering if there is a regular way of working for this.

Using Key Profiles you can set one button of this playback to 'Preload': this is similar to MiD and puts the LTP channels of this playback to their position, provided that the fixtures are @0. You can then at first push this button to 'prepare' the fixtues and then raise the fader. However if you want to have this automatically then you need to put this into a cue list.
