Title: Adjusting brightness to a finished sequence
Post by: chadowamsley on July 08, 2016, 12:42:41 PM

I seen a thread here, or on Facebook, talking about this subject. I can't find the post now and I was looking to see what went on with it.

I sequenced some songs already at 100 percent brightness, and after looking and reading I think I need to lower brightness. If  go into the model and adjust brightness, will that adjust the brightness for finished sequences and all new sequences after rendering ? If it works for finished sequences, it only applies to the max brightness and fades and morphs still remain unchangrd?

Thanks for any help. Images and stuff I used on mega tree I'm afraid will be to bright but to much work to have to change every effect or picture.

You will need to create dimming curves for each model you want to dim and then re-render/save all the sequences again.  The only other way is every effect can have a brightness.  Or you find a master brightness in something like the FPP player.

Ok I will take a look for the dimming curves and set those.

Appreciate the help.

So a -20 on the dimming curve would be 80% of the maximum brightness?

You can also probably change brightness on your controller if you want permanent dimming (as opposed to across individual sequences).

Thanks for the replies, I had some issues come up that kept me tied up and have been unable to play with the lights.

Dimming curve, is that the brightness under gamma ? Just making sure before I do anything. I need to change brightness on my p10 panels and possibly my pixel tree if effects look to bright.

Here's a good tutorial for adjusting your P10 panels...

Thank you for the video. I needed those baby step instructions.
