Ok... really really bad question... idk if im just doing something wrong, but i have 4, 250w moving heads from fugi, im trying to program theses light for weddings and night clubs, along with my other led lights. Anyhow on the manual for dmx operator pro, it says if this is your first time making a moving chases, that you should use scenes first. So i moved the heads to all different spots in the room, and made them remember where they were by telling them using scenes 1 though 8.. now i would like to make them into a moving light show. So i start with selecting the chase button, and make 8 movements in the recording chase area. This is where im getting confused, when i try using the speed button, is pauses after each chase x amount of what i set, but it does it as fast as it can. the fade button i have no idea what that does, but i tried it, still not sure. My question is, how do i make it go slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow... ever scene is as fast as the light can move, which is ok for some, but i want it to slow down, and go around the room, not like a mad light...... what am i doing wrong? Am i just missing something simple? thanks guys!

I do not have any experience on this product but it sounds like you are not adding a fade time for either your scenes or chases. I'm sure the instructions for this are covered in the manual.

You want MyDMX if you want better control over "fade" times.

Anyhow, you don't have HARD control over fade times. You set that by the fade time fader and it's an all or nothing sort of thing. Higher is LONGER fade times. You'll want to bump that fader UP and that should do it. Now it should move "smoothly" between scenes instead of snapping to the next scene.

I'll go back over the manual. I didn't dig that deep into it. Took forever to download it(problems on my end). Lucky for me, I already have a copy locally. Next time I'll read more. Hopefully that info sits somewhere in deep memory!

That's a lot of nifty stuff to cram into a compact package at that sort of price range.
