Group Modify length of effects?

[Timc31610]

I have created a sequence in Superstar and the length of each effect is .05, is there a way to change the length of each effect without selecting each one individually and modifying it?

[BrianBruderer]

You can select a group of effects by doing a click and drag. And you can add or subtract from a group selection by doing Ctrl + left click.

Once you have the group selected that you want to change the length of effects, you can click on the "Nudge Length Left" or "Nudge Length Right" buttons

I tried that, it seems that .05 seconds may be the shortest time allowed? I tried it with all of the effects selected, when that didn't work I tried a few individually. Thanks for the quick response Brian!

[BrianBruderer]

Yes, .05 seconds is the shortest time allowed. Any shorter and the hardware would likely not have enough time to react to the command. In general I try to make all my effects .10 seconds or longer or else like I say you may not see anything on the actual lights.

It looks awesome at .05. Is there a way to change the playback speed of the effects separate from the audio track?

No

On individual effects, you can manually type the beginning and end time - down to the 0.01 seconds.  There is exactly one place I do that on all of my sequences.   I have four channels that I want left on between sequences. That means they must be on at the end of the sequence. So after the first time I save a sequence, I open the file with a text editor so I can see exactly the end time of the sequence. Then I edit the end time of the scenes for those channels to end at the exact end of the sequence.  Other than that, I have found 0.05 seconds to be a problem.

Good point. I actually forgot you can do that!
