Mark 265
It is also possible to mark only certain parameters for marked moves, while allowing live moves
for other parameters.
Example:
If you wanted to mark only focus, and allow all other parameters to transition
while the light is fading up, you can press:
•
[1] [Thru] [10] [Focus] [Mark] [Enter]
Mark Earliest
The {Earliest} command can be used with [Mark] to mark the channel into the cue after the
last intensity moved from a nonzero level to 0. The mark is stored and behaves exactly as if you
had typed the cue number instead of {Earliest}. This works in blind, or in live if you record
afterwards.
Example:
Cue 2 moves the intensity for channel 1 to 0, Cue 3 thru 4 have no intensity
for channel 1, and Cue 5 has the intensity move to full. From Cue 5:
•
[1] [Mark] {Earliest} [Enter]
This will work the same as [1] [Mark] [Cue] [3] [Enter], and will mark from cue
3 to cue 5.
Note:
[Mark] {Earliest} will mark through block cues or blocked intensity moves of
0, until it finds the earliest intensity move to 0. If the cue immediately before the cue
being marked is the earliest intensity move to 0, it will mark in that cue.
{Earliest M} will mark to the earliest cue that already has a mark flag. If a mark cue doesn't
exist, {Earliest M} will behave like {Earliest} and will mark to the earliest possible cue.
Note:
{Emergency Mark} can be used to automatically set a mark flag if you had not
previously done so. If using {Earliest M} and no cue with a mark flag has already been
set, {Emergency Mark} will set a mark flag. See
Record Defaults (on page 209) for
more information.
