View AutoCanon – AutoFade Video

There are 4 ways to highlight the featured dancer automatically during their Canon cycle. It is a way to make them stand out from the other dancers and draw the audiences attention to them.

AutoGlow
AutoFade
AutoColor
AutoChat

Auto values have an IN and OUT value.  The IN value is the value assigned at the BEGINNING of their Canon Cycle. The OUT value is the value assigned a the END of their Canon Cycle.

There is also an AutoOn and AutoOff for each of the 4 types of Autos.   AutoOn enables and AutoOff disables.

For AutoFade use the  [Groupings]–>[AutoCanon]–>AutoFadeOn or [Groupings]–>[AutoCanon]–>AutoFadeOff

 

To enter the AutoFade Values (IN/OUT) values, access it from menu via the [Groupings]–>[AutoCanon]–>AutoFade. The 1st value entered is the IN value. The 2nd value entered is the OUT value. Separate the 2 values using a comma (,). A value of 1 is opaque or solid and a value of 0 is transparent or invisible.

 

 

So a bit of button pressing is involved when EXPERIMENTING.

BUT…

You can accomplish the same thing efficiently  using notecards:

PREPFORM

1,AutoFade%0.5%1,AutoFadeOn,Canon%Home

OR

Sequencer

1,AutoFade,0.5,0 |
2,AutoGlowOn | 0.1
3,Canon,Home | 2

To execute the PrepForm from AutoFX:
