The Lighting Controller

There is no need to be rude. I looked at your show but as I didn't know what to look for I cannot really see what your showing me.
If you had included the relevant points then I could have followed your reasoning.

Sorry but I don't know what you are trying to show me. As I do not have a similar light set up to you I cannot see the results.

I have set up editor for the different scenes and I need to cross fade between 2 scenes.
The manual is useless and so far the posts on this forum have not been ...

Can this be done?
