Timings - in and out combination

Postby Quidam » 13 Aug 2016, 12:44

Hello,

I might be complicating things but I can't get this to work :

I'm trying to achieve a simple transition.

MH are in position A, dim @0 and red.
On Go, I want them to
- go to pos B in 6 seconds
- go to dim @100 in 1 sec
- go to dim @0 and white on the last 2 sec of the movement

So I programmed
- Cue 1 = pos A, dim@0, red / Wait for go / (No Times) (It's just the cue we're coming from)
- Cue 2 = dim@100 / Wait for go / (global fade in 1 sec)
- Cue 3 = pos B, dim@0, white / With previous / (Cue fade in of 6 + individual delay of 4 and fade of 2 for dimmer and color)

Results :
- All LTP channels work fine and act as expected.
- Dim fade in of 1 sec is okay.
- After that, the rest of the dim out delay in cue 3 applies (it waits 3 sec more) but, when it's time to fade out, the dimmer values snap to 2% then fade to 0 in 2 seconds.
Is this a bug ? Or maybe there's something I don't get in the way fade in and out combines in Titan ?

Same results if I set the 6 sec position fade in the individual times instead of in the cue fade.
Same results (as expected but tried anyway) if I trigger my position move in cue 2 and dim fade out in cue 3.

Basically, I need a way to set a dim in and out time, for the same MH, during a longer position fade.
I'm probably having a brain fart and need to go back to it after a break, here ; what am I missing ?
Is there another simple way to implement this in a single cuelist ?


Thanks in advance.

Well something's definitely wrong here but I found a way to make it work using link offset rather than delay:

- Cue 1 pos A, red, dim @ 0, cue delay in 0, cue fade in 0, cue delay out 0, cue fade out 0, wait for go, link offset disabled
- Cue 2 pos B, cue delay in 0, cue fade in 6, cue delay out 0, cue fade out 0, wait for go, link offset disabled
- Cue 3 dim @ 100, cue delay in 0, cue fade in 1, cue delay out 0, cue fade out 0, link with previous, link offset 0s
- Cue 4 dim @ 0, white, cue delay in 0, cue fade in 2, cue delay out 0, cue fade out 2, link with previous, link offset 4s

And now I know I must be careful with PB view filters in v10, as it made me oblivious of the link offset function :)
Thanks for your reply, Nic, it really helped.
