Bug? Dimmer for a group of fixtures

Post by pixeljunky »

I've tried to make a Master Dimmer vor some fixtures they are a way to bright.

But the checkmarks in the menues will not be saved, and then it works only as a Master Dimmer vor all lights.

You see it in the picture
When you click ok nothing saved, and the fields remain empty

Is this a Bug?
Or I understand something wrong

Hi pixeljunky,

In my point of view, there are bugs indeed, but you won't be able to dim individual fixtures from a scene.

1) Bug #1 : the current values are not populated in the dialog when we want to edit the association.

2) Bug #2 : the 4th column (Fixtures) should not be visible for "Scene Speed" and "Scene Dimmer".
It's useless to select fixtures (and Daslight won't use the selection anyway), because the association is made for a global scene.
The scene speed and dimmer are the same as those in Live.

What you could do is modify the settings inside the scenes themselves for the fixtures which are too bright.

Hope this helps.

That's stupid
I think a Master dimmer in Live mode, for some selected lights is a must have
hope that comes in future verions.

Hi pixeljunky,

You could split your scenes into sub-scenes in Edit and "join" them with an association in Show to start all at once.
In this example, all sub-scenes have a release "All except group".
That allows to create independant dimmers for each sub-scene.
See the example attached.

Hope this helps.

Thanks PolDavril

I will try that ! -
But is there a way to write the "joind" scenes to the stand-alone-mode?

I think i must make some scenes only for stand-alone-mode.
