Hello o/

Is there a way to change the color of the same fixture's light & where it's looking at when the scene changes? I have with some but it didn't work, I can only change their location. If there is a way, how can I do it or where is there a guide?

Also, is it posible to play all the scenes (they appear one after each other automatically) to see how is it going?

Thank you!
Lucaaa

With this I meant that I only tried changing the colors of some fixtures, not with the whole library, sorry I missed a word.

You may patch your camera in exteneded mode (https://www.capture.se/Ma...pendix.html#cameras) and control the scenes from your console. This way you could write a cue in your console and have all scenes played back to back.

As for the rest of your question, I am not sure I understood it correctly.

Scenes are not lighting cues. They are recorded XYZ positions of objects, so in a sense you could think of them as Acts. In Act 1 for example this object is positioned stage left, and in Act 2 it is positioned stage right. Applicable to cases where there is no motion controller altering the position in realtime, but rather when stagehands alter the scenery in between acts. This way you do not need to have multiple capture project files to depict your entire theater play. 

If you are looking at altering the light settings and replay them then you can do that by recording snapshots and snapshot movies, which can also recall the above mentioned scenes.
