DMX based dimmer channel issues…
Posted: Fri Jun 20, 2025 22:31
Hey all!
So im having a spot of trouble getting my dimmer channel based profile to function properly. I have about 19 videos to cue up. Im running Mode 2 on an MA 3.
I have the opacity channel functioning, as well as like 90% of my clips. First weird thing is that some clips only fire once, while several others will fire upon selection. I havent done anything different between the clips… just [clip # @@] for my trigger cue while [opacity] is at full.
All clips are the proper format and everything is DMX mapped to the proper channel.
I was using a [blank] clip slot to refer back to when needed, but after the first reference it wont trigger again.
In other news, some of the clips only trigger then the clip channel is manipulated instead of being set to 100% and I have absolutely no idea why. Almost everything else works just fine, but three clips aren’t behaving no matter what i try and do.
Basically its set up to run the clips and then go to the same blank clip in between each song but after the first reference to the blank clip that stops working.
We’re at the beginning of our tour and nothing has been working as it should and I cant keep spending time on this because I need to work on my lighting cues as well and im falling behind constantly trying to deal with video mishaps
Any and all advice would be hugely appreciated, im a little in over my head here and all I want is to have one halfway decent show under my belt before things get crazy busy.
TIA to anyone who can shed some light on the current bane of my existence
