You can now store a cue that uses the color preset for the spots.
Delete example
Using the same setup as mentioned above.
In the demo show there is a sequence called "Look". In this sequence there is something programmed for the
Blinders.
The Look only contains one cue, but let us imagine that it was a bigger sequence and we wanted to remove the
Blinders from this sequence.
1. Select the "Blinder" world
2. Delete the "Look" sequence -
Del
Sequ
3
Please
3. Confirm the deletion in the pop-up
4. Select the "Full" world
You did not actually delete the entire Sequence 3 ("Look"). You only deleted the fixtures and attributes that you
could control. The Blinders are no longer in the "Look" sequence.
Unwanted attributes example
Most of the time it is not desired to program fixture control channel information in a cue list. It is not fun when a
fixture suddenly turns off the lamp or resets because it accidentally was programmed in the cues.
Worlds can be used to avoid this.
1. Select all your fixtures.
2. Make sure you have some values in your programmer for all attributes except the Control preset type.
3. Store a new world.
4. Select this world.
Now the Control Preset Type disappeared from the Preset Control Bar above your encoders. And you cannot
accidentally get those attributes in your programmer and store it somewhere.
Multi User example
In bigger shows it can be very useful and efficient to have multiple programmers working in the same show file.
Often each programmer will have responsibility to program a smaller section of all the lights.
To avoid interfering with each other it is a good idea to create worlds with the sections of the rig for each
programmer and then the programmers can comfortably work with their fixtures and not be disturbed by each other.
They still share the executors, so there is not a complete separation.
