Reply to "Using Multiple lights in FX"

Manual merge. Get out pen and paper and if you're prone to whining, get a sponge.

Sorry, too many people ask the same thing over and over again(like what you're asking) and then when they find out they can't do it, they explode into a fit of it being obvious they don't want to get the job done now. I just say "man up" and "get it done" because your clients aren't gonna give a crap, all they want are results in the end.

This isn't an oversight in the software. This is a limitation in order to reduce costs. While it is entirely possible to do what you want to do, it's just going to take 5 steps. Steps 1 and 2 are making your patterns using the FX Generator. DO please ensure you end up with the same number of steps, as it makes it a lot easier. Step 3 is documenting ONE of those, step by step, setting by setting(of moving lights). Step 4 is making the copy of the scene you intend to be the new merge location. Step 5 is manually inserting the values.

I know it can be a ton of work. If you just focus, it should go relatively smooth and not take all that much time. Yes, it can be a pain in the butt.
