In dvc3 by default all scenes have the general release function set. Unset this in property box.then multiple scenes c

the fx generators work differently because in live mode the option to select more than one type of head exists. on software crash it is interesting that the software loads an older version of your work.all the latest. it might be worth removing the software and then installing the latest download.

I have had a similar problem in the past, which fx generator are you using the one in the live tab window, or the one in the editor tab , they work differently? have you tried closing and reopening the program, sometimes you will find the scene works properly after a restart.? if all else fails star...

have you checked the general output tab (bottom left live screen) to see if all the chanels are active. have you checked to see if the fixture profile is correct, ie the right number of channels. it may be best not to patch the fixture, but to use the general faders to check if the whole unit is res...

There is no timeline function on Daslight, but if you create scenes for various parts of the video, then create a timer scene for each scene with a jump to next scene at the end of the time scene, however this does involve a stop watch , to work out where to put the timer commands. You also need to ...

Have you loaded the drivers for your midi device? does the device appear in the computer system folder for connected devices.? have you selected "midi in" from the tools menu? in DVC. select a scene in editor screen, in the ribbon above the scenes tick the midi in box, now highlight the re...

in the group tab, select the (Left hand tab icon) untill you see the grid for pan and tilt. now select the lock to mouse option for both pan and tilt. now you can position the selected heads with the mouse or trackball. Just a bit awkward keep selecting and de selecting to do other things with the m...

perhaps in the tools menu, show the moving fader is the problem here?

Not possible, for Lumidesk you need a different interface, and Sunlight, and all the other Nicolaudie products.

I have the same problem, but interestingly if you open the DMX output panel the values are shown on the grid, so there must be a conection at some level.

There is a work around I use, in the group you are working on create a blank scene. when you finish editing your work go to this blank scene (ie leave the scene highlighted), now you can switch to live mode without the customry flashing and flickering of the conroller rushing between edit and live. ...

I have had a similar problem with thomann led bars, best solution is to create seperate RGB only modules and have one control module.

It's not perfect, but it works and you can apply effects to the modules perfectly.

probably your best solution is to purchase a dmx splitter from Thomann or alike. DVC does spit out dmx according to the proper spec, but some lights (especially older ones) have a problem with the refresh rate from DVC. especially suseptable are older demux units as well. using a splitter solved my ...

after reporting this problem on the 18th 9f July 2012 to Simon this was his response. "Hi Richard I think we have found the problem. The index is not set correctly after a scene has been imported which can cause several problems later on. We are going to fix this bug in the next DVC2 and DVC3 r...

Daslight have admitted there are some midi problems with DVC2. in my experience if you have imported scenes from another file , this is when midi goes wrong. it may be best to start from scratch with a fresh patch, and recreate your show. try not to move things around between groups, as this is wher...
