Fade

To enter the Fade keyword in the command line, use one of the options:

• Press Time (If the Time Key Target is set to Fixture. For more information see User Settings and Time Key.)
• Press MA Time Time
• Type Fade

Description

The Fade keyword is a helping keyword which is used to indicate fade times.

As a helping keyword for playback functions (for example Goto), this keyword sets the time which is used to execute the function.

If it is used as a starting keyword, Fade will apply individual timing in the programmer for the current selection and attributes.

	Hint:
	As long as the command starts with a function, the Fade keyword and the fade value can be randomly used within the command.

To set the fade times for cues, read more in the CueFade keyword.
