don't know if it's any help but I remember writing something in adding it to others on some what was it forest fire or something like that a few months ago. Perhaps a search into what I posted or fire might pull up past postings on it.

Laso a thread on this forum or perhaps hte General Disc one called DIY Flicker Effect.

Strand 300 has a Flicker FX setting that you can putz with too.

theres a flicker FX? ive never found one.

[koncept]

i nvere found that effect either, can you tell me where it is


i guess its time i start considering renting/spending money on this

[bdesmond]

Perhaps that didn't get carried over from previous consoles. I know the LBX had the flicker option. If there isn't such a thing on the 300, setting it to random with a variety of step times would likely make an adequate replacement.

[koncept]

do you know if it is possible to export the fx from an lbx to the new console (assuming i have one, or access to one)

[bdesmond]

No it isn't. It's an OS level thing.

[Mayhem]

Is the effect for the front of a building or inside (i.e. lights and smoke behind the set)?

[koncept]

i believe it will be on the front of the building
