Preset

Preset Editing Area

It is possible to edit information about the preset in this area.

Set

‘Set’ is usually when you enter the name of the set required to focus the preset.

Focus Cue

‘Focus Cue’ is the suggested cue where you could focus channels in the preset. Using ‘Set First Used Cue’ -> ‘For All Presets (Not Channels)’ can be used to find the first cue the preset is used. You may wish to change this to a cue you deem more suitable.

*When you enter a ‘Focus Cue’, Moving Light Assistant will look the cue up in the ‘Cue List view’ and copy the set information from the cue to the Set field of the preset. It is a good idea before starting the process of documenting your presets to go through the cues in the ‘Cue List view’ and enter the set.

Notes

Use the ‘Notes’ field to describe the intention of the focus in the preset. Mention anything important such as that the fixtures in the preset should not hit something, or that the gobos should be just soft etc.

Ignore

When a preset is set to ‘Ignore’ it will appear greyed out in the Preset List. It will also not appear in any reports in Report Preview. Setting a preset to ignore is useful if you know the preset is no longer used in the show, but do not want to delete the preset in case it gets used again.
