previous Mover preset that set its position. This position will remain active until such time that a Mover preset is
encountered that does set this fixture’s position in which case this new position will now become active.
TIP! It is possible to add more Mover rows (and delete them) so that more than two Mover presets can be run sim-
ultaneously, right-click>New Mover Row.
It is important to remember to set the intensity for movers by dragging the “Intensity” preset onto the timeline to
determine when and for how long the movers are on. Movers that can colour mix should have a “Fixed Colour” or
an effect preset applied to turn them on and set their colour.
DALI presets
DALI presets can be dropped onto the DALI ballasts and groups for each DALI interface in the project, see DALI .
DALI presets should be thought of as commands instructing the DALI ballasts or groups to fade to a level or
scene with the ballasts retaining this level or scene indefinitely regardless of the state of the timeline. Unlike
DMX fixtures, there exists no notion of a released, default state and so DALI ballasts must be explicitly turned off
with a preset. Beware that timelines set to loop will repeatedly run any placed DALI presets and thus reissue
these commands until the timeline is released.
TIP! It may be simpler to separate DALI programming onto dedicated timelines and use triggers to synchronize
them to the other fixture programming.
Copying presets
Presets can be copied (right-click>Copy) from one row and pasted (right-click>Paste) onto another (or later on the
same row), this helps speed up the process of applying programming from one set of fixtures onto another; preset
parameters, timing and transitions will all be copied. Note that copying presets in this way creates brand new
instances of presets that operate independently of each other.
TIP! Hold Shift while selecting Paste to place the copy with finer resolution (centisecond).
Linking presets
If, however, you want to add more fixtures to an existing preset so as to operate on them all as one then drag the
top or bottom edge of that preset up or down to include more rows of fixtures, this operation creates a linked pre-
set. Note that any skewed timing or effects within the preset will now be rendered over the new, larger fixture
selection - use Repeat to compensate if required.
A linked preset can be unlinked if desired by using right-click>Unlink to yield separate, identical instances.
Mover presets can not be linked since the fixture selection is a property of the preset itself.
Deleting presets
Presets can be deleted by pressing Delete,Backspace or using right-click>Delete.
Selecting multiple presets
To select more than one preset at a time for moving and editing properties or timing hold Ctrl (Apple) while clicking
to build the selection or Ctrl (Apple) + A to select all.
