Help! Hog 500 Moving Cue Problems

[todonnell77]

For a musical I am working with for my high school, we rented a Hog 500. It is a lot different than our light board. On our previous board, we would write a cue with an automated device setup how we would like it. Then we would select that fixture, go back a cue, then remove intensity, therefore making a moving cue. I can't seem to figure out moving cues on the Hog 500. I tried selecting the fixtures, then going back a cue, but all the intelligent lights swoop back to their default positions. How, on the agog 500, can I select moving fixtures, and go back one cue to write a moving cue, including parameters pan, tilt, intensity, colors, focus, and iris, easily? Any help would be greatly appreciated, since our opening show is Friday.

Thanks,
Tom

... but all the intelligent lights swoop back to their default positions. ...

Not so "intelligent" are they?

Two ways:

With the desired cue on stage, select the fixtures, take intensity to zero, and <record> <previous cue number> <merge>. Clear the programmer, go back a cue, and press GO. Did it work?

Alternatively, press <Insert Mark>. "Mark cue" is the term you want, not "moving cue." More in the manual: Hog 500/1000 v3.2 Manual.pdf.

Mark cues worked. Thanks!
