Generator: creating effects in a few clicks

The generator builds effects for a group from a few settings: movement, color, brightness and gobo. After generating it stays live, so you see every change in the preview right away.

A few settings, one click, finished clips.

Step by step

  1. Pick a group on the right. The generator shows its settings, “✨ Open effect studio” at the top and below it “Or set it up quickly below:”.
  2. “Moving heads” or “Fixtures”: all, a subset, or tap the numbers of single fixtures.
  3. For moving heads under “Movement”: “Position”, “Position change”, “Circle”, “Change + circle” or “none”. Then the position(s), for changes the “Step”, and under “Moving heads” “together”, “Canon” (staggered) or “opposite”. For circles, “Size” and “Speed”.
  4. “Color”: “fixed”, “Color chase”, “Change”, “Rainbow” or “none”. Tap colors from the palette, the number shows the order.
  5. “Brightness”: “on”, “Pulse”, “Chase”, “Breathe”, “Strobe” or “none”, plus the “Step”.
  6. For moving heads with gobo data: “Gobo & prism” with “Gobo”, “Rotation” and “Prism”.
  7. Under “Length from the playhead” pick “1 bar” to “16 bars” or “to the end”.
  8. Set the playhead and tap “Generate from the playhead”. The clips land from the start of that bar on their own layers at the top of the group.
  9. Now it says “Live – every change takes effect right away”. Change settings and the clips follow.
  10. Done? “✓ Keep”. “Reshuffle” mixes the randomness anew, “Discard” removes the generated clips again.
