dharker Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hello I have read a couple of different threads similar to this but due to time just want to make sure I am understanding what they are saying. I want to have all the lights on, then at say 6:00 fade out completely, do a show of about 4-5 since that is all I will have time to get ready this year, then at the end of the show put all the lights back on until 7:00 and start the sequence all over. What I think I am supposed to do it:Create an animation sequence to do say a 5 second fade outHave my 5 songs done- say total time is 21 min 30 secondsCreate an animation sequence for all lights on for the remainder of the hour, which in this case is 60 min minus 21 min 35 seconds so it needs to be 38 min 25 secondsIn musical tab setup my showAnimationLightsFade.lasSong1.lasSong2.lasSong3.lasSong4.lasSong5.lasAnimationAllON.lasThen I schedule this show to run at 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10:00pmWill this do it ? ? Now that I am thinking about it more it seems like I don't want a separate AnimationLightFade.las but I should rather add it to the last 5 seconds of my AnimationAllOn.Las ? thanks for the help !

shfr26 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Dave PM me or callHow about just do a 1/2 hour show instead and repeat every1/2 hour?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dharker Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 This is my first year of non-static display. Since I will only have a few songs ready I didn't want to just repeat 4-5 songs over and over. And I was also looking to ease the neighbors into my new hobbie so I thought 20+ minutes of blinky blinky and then 40 minutes of static would help Next year I'll plan earlier and hopefully have a full show ready. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would use the simple show builder to schedule shows running every hour. As opposed to doing it in the schedule editor. Way easier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dharker Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Thanks- I have not used either the simple show builder or the schedule editor yet so don't know what I am getting into but thanks for the info ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im only playing one song a show and a different show every 15 minutes.The songs are all different lengths so doing an animation for say ...10 minutes wouldnt work because some songs are 3 minutes, some are 8...appreciate your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl Lambert Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Doing an animation will work because when the next show starts it will cut it off. Musical sequences are allowed to finish but animations are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
