Many commands in the Sequencer take into account the intensity range displayed on the toolbar (part of the Intensity Range & Slope section). When you open a sequence the intensity range will be set at "0" and "100". This means that :
•the "Max Intensity" tool will create effects at 100% (maximum brightness)
•the "Min Intensity" tool will create effects at 0% (since 0% is completely off, this erases any effects where it is applied)
•the "Fade Down" tool will create effects that go from 100% to 0%
•the "Fade Up" tool will create effects that go from 0% to 100%
The intensity settings consists of 3 parts:
1.The first intensity value
2.The second intensity value
3.The Presets menu, opened by clicking the icon
It doesn't matter which order you enter the 2 intensity values. "100" and "0" is the same as "0" and "100".
The full intensity range is normally 0 to 100. However, if the toolbar effect is set to DMX Intensity, then the full intensity range is 0 to 255 and the intensity is set with the DMX Intensity fields.
