Second Play Mode

Post by Chris »

Hello,

When you put the Play Button in the Sequence window the programm plays all Scences starting from Scence 1.
Now my question:

Is ist possible to create a second Play Button or an choice button to select two different play modes.
One to start at the beginning (Scence 1) and the other mode (button) to start from the Scence, which is selected at the moment!!!

So it will be easier and faster to check the programmed Scences!!!

Thanks
Chris

yes that would be really great, or be able to start play from the scene that is currently selected.

I think it's best to review the entire scene for playback review. By clicking the scenes you want you are able to review what you need to see, which is position, gobo, color, shutter. The only thing you miss is fade and wait times.

what if you have a very long sequence and just want to see how the very end came out.

I would probably go to the Live panel and press on the last few sequences I wanted to see. It all plays back in the Visualizer.

Yes, with the sequences it's ok.

Just go to Live mode and select the sequence at the end.

Yes it works with the sequence.
But it doesn't work with the scences. There are no scences in Live mode only sequences!!!

I guess I don't understand the need to select a scene for playback review when clicking the scenes one at a time confirms your programming. When I'm programming, I always want to playback from the beginning after I verify my changes. But I'm not programming very long scenes or sequences. My use and the targeted use of the program is for DJ use. If you're doing more theatrical or production work, that may require a different software package to better suit your needs. But that's a lot of hassle for a preview that you already have.
