A sub-sequence is when you have a channel in your sequence with a type of "Sequence", and you select another sequence file for this channel. Currently, if that sub-sequence has a Windows command, it will be ignored when run as a sub-sequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I'm looking forward to all the new features but wondering if some of the new stuff can be combined to work together such as using the chase tool while the foreground is turned on to keep a fade or intensity unchanged 'behind' itWish I could have gotten in on this beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the PDF states with it turned on, the "off" events that you are pasting in won't actually paste ... just the events themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the 50% cells in the way, the Chase can't be created with the "Chase" function.(Or for the short answer: It won't work that way.) (Edit: When I said "Chase will not work as planned" I'm referring to the "planned" method in the quoted statement.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are using the fade tool then the entire area will fade up/down with the chase running undisturbed in the faded area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest sending an email to wishlist@lightorama.com about it.Perhaps this could be implemented as a "Channel/Device = Command" where you can issue a windows command at any point in a sequence just like any other effect.

TJ Hvasta Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Can you put in a Pause button in the Editor? There's Start, and Stop, but there's no way to start a sequence, play for a bit, pause it, make changes, have it pick up where it stopped (yeah I know the Play From point), not the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
