Hi, what is The option 0°, 90°, one Pixel function for? I have the ax3 and I don’t see any difference with these settings.

What if I wanted to have the flicker effect flicker at a certain speed consistently between 100% and 50% for example. So 100%/50%/100%/50%/100%/50% etc. And not the random flickering that the flicker effect gives. It has to be consistent. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Chazefez, unfortunately thats not possible to have the app do that automatically. You will need to create two separate effect tiles, one with 100% brightness and the other with 50%, then change manually between those two. Its a nice little touch and since it's not integrated I have forwarded it to our App developers. Let's see in the future if it will be there. // Jesper

Hi is it possible to but some lights under one title and other lights under the second title or do i have to select the lights manually every time ?

[@AsteraOfficial]

Hi and sorry for the late reply, you can create different groups/sets for the lights in the app. This way you can apply different effects to the different lights, and then you can save this as a Scene to play it back simultaniously. We have a separate tutorial; video for working with Scenes.

I don't have the bounce option in my layer geometry window. Updated to latest version, still no luck.

[@scottbenjamin8251]

Looks like it works if I click the place it is supposed to be but no bounce arrows.

Hello. Is it possible to run scenes in a row? And how do you edit effect buttons? (cant edit them after creating)

[@AsteraOfficial]

Hi there, if you want to have different tiles in a row, you will have to do this manually. To edit an effect tile, you simply just select it, and then go to the 4th tab (fader icon on top or bottom, depends on if you use Android or iOS), the fader icon tab is the editor of the selected effect tile.

Hi and sorry for the late reply, It's unfortunately not possible to run Scenes in a row automatically. You'll have to manually change from scene to scene. For editing, just tap the effect you want to change and then go to the edit tab that looks like "faders." Once you've made your edits, remember to hit the save button in the top right corner - it looks like a floppy disk.

What if in a Flow Set I want an static but only in the last astera. Imagine I am shooting in a limousine. I need a 8000K light for the last passenger only. I amb lighting the limousine with 8 asteras because it is a very long car. I have grouped them as a Flow Set. How could I put the static only in the last astera?

[@AsteraOfficial]

Yes sure, you just need to adjust the start position and the length of you layer. It can be done in the "Layer Geometry"
