all this talk of [CLEAR]...that button terrifies me, i know exactly what it does, and i've used it many times, but there's always that moment of hesitation: "maybe this time i press it, it WILL erase everything!!!". i inherited this fear from my predecessor at my school. i don't know why either of us have it either, i guess it's like a fear of flying or something, something rather illogical...
sorry about the digression...
You've never Saved (onto portable media) a show file???!!!...I've never used [SAVE] though...
Even if I did have a copy of the show file, where the hell am I going to get a spare Strand 300 before curtain?
(Yes, yes I know there are multiple good reasons for saving the show.)
Yeah I miss your ma too. (!)
I've never used [SAVE] though.
That assumes either of us have any taste to begin with. Gafftaper, how do you think we'd taste? I think I'd be "old and tough;" whereas Charc would be "young, tender, and juicy, but not much meat on him." Eating (cute, furry, endangered) animals IS cannibalism, but they taste sooooo good!I should slap the taste out of both of you for these quotes. Instead I will just laugh.
And thus we learn the importance of Hard or Block cues.On the hog consoles, i program the show in tracking. When i go back to edit i take it out of tracking. I have had it change to many variables down the cue list before. Such as when there is supposed to be a spot, it now has a gobo in it. And i'm like what the hell, i just wanted a gobo in one scene, not for it to track all the way down.
Undo does not "release" channels as-it-were. You will notice that when you use the Undo button, at least on a Strand, the channel will go back to it's previous lever, but will remain in red, thus, if you were to say hit the GO button, the channel would not move.I much prefer the undo key in that type of situations. I might have them change 9 things, then its as simple as undo... blah blah blah...
[SHIFT][CLEAR] is different than [CLEAR] alone. By default [SHIFT][CLEAR] will clear the entire command line, useful. If the command line is clear then hitting [SHIFT][CLEAR] will "release" any captured channels, meaning that any channel that was turned red will go back to a normal color (though I think the usually go back to cyan). This means that when you hit GO everything will fade to it's next level.So if I have a channel grabbed and hit [Shift], that is the same as "releasing a channel"? Doesn't [Clear] do the same thing? What is the difference, especially with [Shift] [Clear]? How do these interact with tracking? Does one just stop "holding" the channel, and the other lets it go, and revert back to it's previously recorded(or tracked) level?
Sorry to drag this off topic slightly.
I hate you.Taking us back a few posts on account of yesterday (sunday) was an awesome ski day here, and up at Snowbird I think I skied in snow above me knees all day!
