How to make a macro which change wheel display's cross fade??

I found "Chase XFade 50%" in unassigned macro tap of the show library .
It's very useful for busking.
There are already many options but I tried to make my own macro.
But I couldn't make it.
Is it possible to record it without editing the macro file?
And what about speed in the wheel display??

There are already factory macros for Chase Speed Up and Chase Speed Down. It is not possible to record macros containing wheel movements however you could use the Edit Times menu as in this thread.

Actually, I need to change overlap % of the connected chase.
Any advice??

Try doing the same as in this thread but select the Fixture Overlap softkey instead of XFade.

I know that way.
What I want to know is to change overlap % of the "CONNECTED CHASE" like factory macro "Chase XFade 50%" does.
If I change a specific playback's overlap %, I need many macros for many playbacks.
Of course, I can make a macro to change overlap % of many playbacks, but if I have so many playbacks, it takes some time when I fire the macro. I don't like that.
If I have a macro that change overlap % of the present connected chase, it's fast and I don't need many macros.
I just fire a chase and then the macro.

It would involve writing the macro XML but you could try this:

Code: Select all

<step pause="0">ActionScript.SetProperty("Playbacks.Editor.SelectedPlayback", Chases.ConnectedHandle)</step>
<step pause="0">ActionScript.SetProperty("Playbacks.Editor.Times.CueFixtureOverlap", 0.5)</step>

Perfect!!! Thanks!!!

For my chase, I have to change "CueFixtureOverlap" to "ChaseFixtureOverlap". This works.

<step pause="0">ActionScript.SetProperty("Playbacks.Editor.SelectedPlayback", Chases.ConnectedHandle)</step>
<step pause="0">ActionScript.SetProperty("Playbacks.Editor.Times.ChaseFixtureOverlap", 0.5)</step>
=================================================================================================
What are for 0% and 100% overlap??
0 and 1 do not work in my macros.
I tried 0.01 and 0.99. They work for 1% and 99%.
So weird.

It's probably guessing the wrong type. '0.0' or '1.0' might work.

Code: Select all

ActionScript.SetProperty("Playbacks.Editor.Times.ChaseFixtureOverlap", Math.Cast.ToSingle(1))


Might also work.

Or even

Code: Select all

ActionScript.SetProperty.Float("Playbacks.Editor.Times.ChaseFixtureOverlap", 1)


And as of 10.1 I think you can do

Code: Select all

ActionScript.SetProperty("Playbacks.Editor.Times.ChaseFixtureOverlap", float:1)
