Creating a Master Cue Stack

• Mark Cue: Start by creating a mark cue to handle intensity settings, ensuring lights transition to black smoothly.
• Auto Follow: Set up a follow cue with zero time to load initial presets and configurations for spot fixtures.
• Building Looks: Construct your starting look with predefined colors, positions, and gobos to set the scene for your show.

Presets and Extracts

• Preset Integration: Use color and position presets to quickly apply consistent looks across different lighting fixtures.
• Extracts: Apply pre-built extracts to introduce complex transitions, such as color changes and fades, with a single click.

Transitions and Timing

• Timing Adjustments: Use the timeline to modify timing for specific parameters like beam and zoom, allowing for smooth transitions.

Additional Fixtures and Faders

• Fader Assignments: Assign fixtures like band lights and center stage wash to faders, enabling manual control during performances.
• Naming and Properties: Label your faders and configure properties, such as ignoring snapshots, to prevent unintended changes during shows.

Creating and Using Snapshots

• Snapshot Configuration: Set up snapshots to recall specific views, cue stacks, and fader levels, ensuring quick access to desired configurations.
• Avoiding Unwanted Changes: Use the "ignore snapshot" feature for certain faders to keep essential lighting consistent throughout transitions.
