Timing, transitions & precedent
Direction
The ordering of a skewed transition depends on the fixture/pixel ordering within the group. The Skew Direction
drop-down provides further ordering options such as Forwards and Backwards for additional flexibility. Additional
groups can be created with different fixture/pixel ordering to achieve other skewed effects.
Repeat
Specifies the number of adjacent fixtures/pixels over which a skewed transition is applied, default is All meaning
that the skew will span the entire selection. Typically you set this value to be equal to the number of pixels in a
compound fixture or the number of fixtures in a zone or on a truss, experimentation is recommended as inter-
esting effects can be achieved.
Buddy
Specifies the number of fixtures/pixels that will fade together within a skewed transition, default is 1 meaning that
each fixture/pixel will fade independently. Set to 2 to make pairs fade together, 3 for threesomes etc. Again, exper-
imentation recommended.
Transition skews - Matrix & Media presets (2D)
Skew Type
Since the Pixel Matrices onto which you place Matrix and Media presets have spatial awareness, the available
skews are more powerful and are akin to video wipes - you may have to increase the fade time to clearly perceive
the skew.
% Fade
Sets the hardness of the skew; whether the edge of the wipe is hard (0%) or soft (100%).
Angle
Some skews (for example Linear or Radial Wipe) can optionally accept an angle value that alters the direction or
start point of the transition.
Specifying times
Timing fields display times in the format hh:mm:ss.cc (hours:minutes:seconds.centiseconds), although leading
zeros are not displayed. 24 hours (24:00:00.00) is the maximum timeline length and thus timing duration.
