Question about keyframe shapes

[sarajohnson]

Hello,
I have a question regarding keyframe shapes. When I create a dimmer effect (e.g., Dim 100.0) on conventional fixtures, all the fixtures first go to full brightness before the effect begins.

How can I make the effect start immediately without having all the fixtures turn on to full at the beginning?

Most likely you have programmed full intensity within the cues. At least in my test I couldn't reproduce this. Here is what I did:

- new show
- patch 4 dimmers, exit patch
- select dimmers
- Shapes & FX, KFS, Create
- @@, Add Frame
- @0, Add Frame, Finish Recording Frames
- Set Spread
- Record to Playback, Clear

Now when I fire the playback, of course some dimmers start (where the effect starts) at full but the others start at 0.
