The Lighting Controller

Hi,

I've been programming my light shows using the timeline and have done half the set but today it seems to have developed an issue. I create a scene for the heads in the generator and it looks great and in time roughly with the track i'm going to put it with on the timeline, but then when I put it on the timeline it's playing at roughly half the speed i created it at? and not really symmetrical in it's movement. It's set to manual BPM @100% so why would this be? I've deleted it and remade it several times with no difference. Any ideas?

The generated scene in Live is never 100% same as the original in Generator.
May be the project is very complex, so the difference is quite visible.

Please note that V8 plays native Generator projects.
But V8 is in Alpha state for now.

Thanks,

The scene isn't very complex at all just 4 points, one colour, one gobo. I've noticed it isn't playing half time...it's only playing two of the points. not all four, hence why it's half the speed.

Do you have any idea when v8 might be ready? I did try to use it a while ago but had to go back to 7 after finding too many problems running it. Looking forward to 8 being released.

Please post a lightshow with this Generator project : we will check it.

Thanks.

I have sent the show over via email.

In Live - Buttons 2 - first timeline button on left: “strep back in time.”
I have placed the generated file that’s not working correctly at the start of the timeline, so you can see it straight away. It has 4 points in the generated view but only two work when put in the timeline.

This Generator project is not so simple, because channels durations are different. If you set the duration of the other channels (color, gobo, shutter, dimmer) to the same duration than the pan/tilt duration, it will work as expected.
Please note that this problem will not exist in V8, because V8 plays the native Generator projects.

My minispot 150 do not show their beams in the 3D view. the movement is there but not the beams.

You have to create at least one level in the channel "color", and then you will see the beam in 3DView.

Thank you very much.

That makes sense.
