In the scene editor it would be good to have a slide to increase/reduce all value by a percentage. This would make it easy to change all intensities for fixtures that don't have a dimmer channel (e.g. generic RGB with only those 3 channels).
A preferred alternative would be virtual dimmers in the VC.

Did you have a look at SubMaster?

In the manual (for Slider) you can find:
Configuration - Submaster Tab
If the slider is not currently in Submaster mode, all you see is a button telling you to click it to switch to Submaster mode. After you click it, the slider will be set to work as a submaster.

When a slider is set to Submaster mode, it will control the intensity of every other widget in the same frame (please keep in mind that the main Virtual Console area is a frame too !)
The intensity of a widget depends on the type of widget itself and which functionality it controls. A submaster will control the intensity of any QLC+ "light emitting" functionality, either a function or single channel levels.
For example a submaster can control the intensity of a function attached to a button or the channel levels associated to a slider in level mode.
Every widget is controlled by a submaster even if the widget's functionality is not active yet. For example if a submaster is set to 50%, a button pressed afterward will start its associated function with 50% of intensity.
A QLC Workspace is like a Bob Ross painting: "it's your world, you can create whatever you want!"

Hi,

I found the sub master functionality not long after posting this. It has helped a lot and was a light bulb moment for a lot of things.
It would still be useful to have a easier way to adjust intensity within a scene or group though by adding a virtual dimmer to the fixture.

Thanks for the tip.
