Effects Generator

Hey PaulC, I'd had asked the same question and got a reply that I would only be able to do it if I did it step by step. Here's how I wound up doing it. In the generator, I only selected 2 scanners to apply the effect (1&3) then I made a scene with it. After that, I went into the scene to edit it, and select scanners 3&4 and set them to the opposite direction of each step created in the generator (I used a diamond pattern, so I only had to do 4 opposite steps) and got the effect I was looking for (Think search lights). You can see what it came out like at the beginning of this video I made,

Hope that helps!

Hi thanks for the reply - although its not exactly what I wanted it has answered my question in another way and is a good solution

Thank you again

PaulC,
Have you tried using the "phasing" function in FX? If not, try this:
1.) From editor, hit FX and select all 4 of your scanner lights.
2.) Select the pattern and # of points in the pattern.
3.) Hit the play button with FX still open
4.) Slide the phase slider (to the right of pattern select buttons).

As you slide the phase up, the lights will still follow the pattern selected, but will do it at different times. Should give a similar effect to what DJ Access has in the video.

Once you get the correct amount of "out of phase" that you like, you can save the scene.

Good luck!

thats great many thanks Paul for the reply I will give it a try in a moment

Just to confirm this is exactly what I needed and works perfectly, many thanks again for the Post

Glad to hear it worked.
