solo frame fade out

[jadaudiodesign]

hello all qlc addict...

i created 2 scenes lets say A & B

then in a solo frame i put scene A in a fader A and scene B in a fader B....work perfectly but...

when i slowly fade in a scene the fade in goes slow ok...but the fade out of the other scene goes flash out

i like to now if its possible to do that the fade out go slow down same speed as i push the fade in...

thank you ++ JD

One way is to create Chaser with both scenes, set them to infinite hold time, add CueList to VC, and use Cue List's sliders for the crossfade.

hi janosvitok thank you

i have try your idea yea it work of course...but

what i did not say in my first message is that i have many scenes like around 20 minimum....and i wanted to crossfade from 1 to another... but not consecutivly

exemple sc1 crossfade sc3 then sc8 then sc12 etc...

well at the moment i do that with normal frame non solo and 2 fingers....one i fade out a scene and the other finger i fade in another scene

but strange we can not link that fade in and out same speed time in solo frame---boo too bad

Currently is it not possible to link faders to do crossfade. What you can do is to assign default fade out to the scenes and live with that, though I don't know if that will work in your situation.

My method of doing this is not to link the scenes to faders but put them all on buttons in a solo frame.

I then create a timer widget (with only a seconds field) and link the in and out fades of all the scenes to the timer.

If I want a fast (1 sec) fade I set the timer to 1. Then when you press the next button you get a 1 second fade on each function. One fades out and the other fades in.

Change the timer to longer and you get a longer fade.

Hi,

I think I've created a sample workspace that covers your use case.

And I don't think I understand your issue.

Can you test the attached workspace, and describe what happens wrong ?

[janosvitok]

David, I understand that JD wants to manually control fade time -- he wants to control both fade in of the new scene and fade out of the currently running scene with one fader - the one assigned to new scene.
Something like crossfaders in the cuelist.

Ooops, I didn't see that iamchrislaurie posted this, not jadaudiodesign.

Well, this is a solution that works, and that can be combined with faders.

hey thank you all

i joined a small exemple to explain better ...

see when i push slider 1 slowly...it fade in slowly as i do manually

then if i push slowly slider 2 ... slider 1 fade out immediatly....does not follow my manual speed

i also put the fixtures in the monitor to show

but i think what im trying to do manual crossfade same speed in out is not possible in that way with solo frame...

Exactly, the implementation of the Solo Frame does not permit this.

You can try iamchrislaurie's method. It will not permit a real manual crossfade, but the crossfade time can still be tweaked from one function run to another. Use the speed dial on the virtual console to tweak crossfade time before starting the next function.

Check out the Fixture Monitor to see the real values of the channels, you'll see that the crossfade happens

Sounded like a nice idea, so...

This works on sliders only.

Great addition to solo frames!! Theater guys (like me) will love it.

@David, one day you'll have to teach me how you make those animated pictures
I might use them a lot

I've just discovered it, I made everything manually before :p This creates really smallweight gifs
The colors are a little off though
