How to Make Lights Flicker?

Post by paphianclive » Fri Aug 23, 2019 6:59 pm

I have been using SCS (for audio only) for many years. With the failure of our theatre lighting desk, I have started using SCS for DMX lighting. Not going too bad but a steep learning curve.
In a forthcoming production, it is required that the lights flicker on several occasion, (as in old movie thunder storms).
1.) There doesn't seem to be a 'Master Lighting Control' as there is on a lighting desk, and with SCS for sound, which would make the process easier. Am I missing something?
2.) The only way I can find to make lights flicker is to manually set the level of each light down and then up again, a long process.
Has anybody an idea of how to simply create this 'flickering light' effect?
I am using SCS 11.8.1.2.
Thank-you

Have a look at Chase Lighting Cues.
