Using the chimp in a theatrical way

[Celardor]

Hi
I'm a new user of the chimp and I struggle to use it in a theater way.

For example :
I have to create two states of lightning, I create two cues in a cuelist with those options MIB selected, tracking off, and add zero cue.
CUE 1 : Three conventionnal front lights with dimmer at 20%
CUE 2 : My spot (chauvet r2s) set to a certain position with dimmer at 50%
CUE 2 set with a fade time of 5 seconds 
I link the cuelist to a fader, I push the fader up and CUE1 is displayed on stage, I then press GO and CUE2 is displayed but we see the movement of the light (like the MIB doesn't work).

I've searched on the net and on the manual and understood that I need tracking to MIB to be active...

I try then to activate tracking in the option of the cuelist, and it's working, CUE2 is displayed and go to its position while dimmer is off, BUT due to tracking CUE1 stay active in the outputs, I need to switch off the conventional front light in CUE2 and merge it.

Is there a way to create cue and use it without tracking BUT with the move in black options ?
For example :
CUE 1 : Three conventionnal front lights with dimmer at 20%
CUE 2 : My spot (chauvet r2s) set to a certain position with dimmer at 50%
Instead of :
CUE 1 : Three conventionnal front lights with dimmer at 20%
CUE 2 : My spot (chauvet r2s) set to a certain position with dimmer at 50%, three conventionnal front lights with dimmer at 0%

It would help my workflow a lot because sometimes I have to copy and paste cues in my cuelists and with tracking on some of the cues didn't contain all values displayed on stage, and I need also to not seeing the movements of the lights between two cues.

! I see you're trying to figure out the lighting cues, and it can be a bit of a puzzle, right? The Move-in-Black (MIB) feature sometimes throws a curveball, especially when you want smooth transitions without revealing the moves.

One trick you can try is a mix of tracking and manual adjustments. In CUE 2, where you want your spot to shift without showing the movement from CUE 1, set the dimmer for your conventional front lights to 0%.  [color=#222222][size=1][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]EHallPass Website[/font][/size][/color]
 This way, you kind of 'hide' the transition.

Also, when copying and pasting cues, watch out for tracking settings. You might need to tweak them depending on what you're going for.  [color=#222222][size=1][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]192.168.0.1 Login[/font][/size][/color]

Give these suggestions a spin and see if they help nail down the right vibe for your lighting setup. Let me know if you need more tips! Happy cue-ing!
