travis p Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 it would be nice if a color plate was added to s3 so colors could easly be added to sequences with the explosion of rgb and pixels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 it would be nice if a color plate was added to s3 so colors could easly be added to sequences with the explosion of rgb and pixelsAre you looking for something different than the color fade tool? You can pick the same color on both sides of it to get a one color 'fade'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spomalley Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Colour fade can be annoying, as if you want just one colour you have to copy it. Plus I'd prefer if it opened to the side of the sequence grid instead of in a new window. Other than that its very effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very Time consuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamS Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Once you create a color it gets saved in the recent tools on the left. Once its there if you made a solid color its just a click away. What I dont like is you have to drag a bit, you cant just highlight a cell with the color but click and drag somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just enough to see the cursor move will work. (If you have the room i.e., 0.05 timeline would need to be spread out a little to get some cursor movement) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice like the regular channels to click and turn it on. I was trying your approach and I had some weird things happen like doing a color fade in the channels above and below, and filling it right to the end.

WilliamS Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 As stated one post above, that micro movement over 8k channels takes some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found that if there is another color later in line with what you are applying it will try to auto fill, but only if you just click and no drag... I'm not running a ton of RGBs , only doing 250 RGB channels, but as a work around it will work but it does seem to take a little manipulating. Just easier than opening the RGB channels applying color then close, then copy....I have saved, blue fade to blue as Don said earlier, red and green. Works pretty good (for solid colors).

John Slade Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) Check this out... Select your ALL blue color fade, select 5 or 10 seconds of whatever groups/channel(s), leave one open, then select ALL red, apply the next 5 or 10 seconds. Now just single click in the open block between, bam pow, instant color fade... I have one group of 50 pixels (group collapsed) applied as stated and fill and fade all 50. Not sure if this will work for what your doin, but works here. Edited July 26, 2012 by John Slade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdeditch Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I will have to try that later, one other question, what is the difference of the regular & DMX setting on the color fade tool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Slade Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 It just allows for 255 intensity options vs. 100 intensities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Slade Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 LOL, instead of stepping intensities/colors 1,2,3,4 to 100 you get 255 steps. I just use regular, not sure if you can tell the extra 155 steps or not... guess it would depend on the length of the fade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
