grandMA2 Basics in V3: Lesson 3: Creating your first cue list and working with presets

[@sstilsons]

I thought the video was about cues, but you don't talk about cues until 12 minutes in. I'll jump to that spot. Thank you.

[@sstilsons]

OM Lighting Design Why do you say that?

[@farid6491]

best tutorial i ever seen.

[@mjmoran1103]

Your MA3D settings look better than what I have. No stage, and stronger beams. How can I do this? Thanks in advance.

[@VegasDominic]

This training video is so cool !!! ❤😊

[@ConsoleTraining]

I'm glad you like it

[@ibarylsky]

Can I speed up cue with changing position?

[@alexanderfdj]

how can you copy a cue from a fixture to another?(same kind of fixture)

[@mattiaippolito1625]

Hi, why the highlight function doesn't work with RGB LED fixture? I can't easily pass from one fixture to another one like I do with fixtures that has a color wheel. When I put them in color and I press next the fixture barely turns white and it pass through all the parameters of that fixture before move to the other one....

[@ConsoleTraining]

+Mattia Ippolito check your highlight values for the fixture.

Hi Alex, really love your videos, so thanks for that. Just a quick one if you can help me? When I set a preset to a fader and then add another to start a cue list on the fader (onPC), It just overwrites rather than adding a new cue? Any help would be great, Dan.

[@ConsoleTraining]

+Dan Welsh sounds like you have changed your store default to overwrite. Hold down the store key to change your store options then set as default

[@dansteam2]

Thanks Alex I did manage to sort it - thanks for all you videos sir

[@nathanaelgodson3994]

I have a question: Why is the first Fader green?

[@ConsoleTraining]

By default MA selects your first executor so you can use it on the main A/B faders. You can simply press select and tap another exec to get rid of it.

[@nathanaelgodson3994]

@@ConsoleTraining Thanks for the Answer. This will come in handy

[@seantotten9129]

[@ConsoleTraining]

[@giraffe420]

Just figured it out, reply if you need a nudge in the right direction.

Oleg Boch hey bro, how do I make my stage selectable again and how do I make it dark, right now I can hardly see colors on my stage. Thank you

You still managing Bret and Jemaine?

[@ConsoleTraining]

Haha. I'm Australian not New Zealander

[@zimonslot]

hey,... you never gotback to the 'channel id' and 'fixture id' parameters when adding a fixture...

[@ConsoleTraining]

Channel ID is normally used for dimmers and other generics. You can assign both to a fixture as well. If you assign a channel to a fixture ID you will end up with a virtual dimmer channel that controls the dimmer of the fixture. Not sure why you would but hey someone must use the feature

[@lucaa6880]

Hi when i try tu connet ma2 on pc with ma 3d i can "add present" only if i have ip wifi, but in ma 3d the fixtures don't come patched, the Heart anyway it's green. Can you help me?

[@ConsoleTraining]

Check our first video in this basics season that provides a bit more detail in connecting the two applications.

[@anupsingh4551]

My fast cue go and next ceu automatically next 3th ceu

[@ConsoleTraining]

+anup singh have you set them to follow. Maybe send us a bit more info via email

[@zimonslot]

So.. when you create a color group, its only for the fixture(s) you created the color with... if you select other fixtures and want to use the color you just created, it doesnt work. That's stupid.

[@ConsoleTraining]

Have a look at universal and global colour presets

[@nadnerb2178]

Great content, but dude, you go so fast. I get that theres a lot there but for example you say "move this sequence" and here I am searching for the move button for 30 seconds meanwhile you've gone on to the next thing. You have to keep in min that we don't know the console and button layout yet. Really love what you're doing here and its a huge help, but its difficult to watch the video and follow on on the program at the same time.

[@ConsoleTraining]

Thanks for the feedback

[@oerliboerli88]

do you know the break button? ;)

[@blimey1061]

It's fine for me - keep doing what you do. The pause button etc. is perfect :)

[@anupsingh4551]

Hi

[@edmundb7705]

You talk too much. Start one thing and before you you finish it, you do 10 more things. If you start one thing, finish it, and than show what other things you can do.

[@ConsoleTraining]

Hi Edmund, Thanks for the feedback. We've updated a few videos and this one is one that will get an update shortly.
