Matrix Opacity Gradients/Fades
Posted: Mon Mar 07, 2011 8:13 am
Hi there,
I'm looking to get some information about what options I have to create a fading in and out effect for a matrix of RBG fixtures. I'm looking to have a generic "random" matrix effect fade in onto a group rect of fixtures on a matrix of led rgb tubes.
It seems like a pretty basic function, but so far nothing I've tried has given me what exactly what I'm looking for. The fade-in options in the page window stops the effect until it is done fading in, and I couldn't find any effect options using Easytime other than manually creating a series of black, static scenes over top of the desired effect and gradually decreasing their opacity from 100 to 0 (which is an incredibly tedious thing to build, and not very practical - a single scene with over 100 seperate matrix effects doesn't run the smoothest).
Some suggestions as to what I can do here would be great.
Thanks!
