Progressively Dim Overall Brightness

[oyarsa]

I have a song I am sequencing that fades out at the end of the song. Is there any way to slowly dim all the lights without having to individually adjust each effect?

I tried bulk editing a few measures at a time, with each set of measures getting progressively dimmer. That worked well enough, but I would still be curious if there's a way to do a ramp-down of the overall brightness.

Here's how I did it a few years ago.  Someone else helped me out so I'll pass it forward. 

Clone your whole house model group and in the Master View, put it after all of your other groups and models so it renders last. This will cause it to overlay all other effects. At the appropriate time, apply the "On" effect to the desired time range, set the color to black, start and end intensity to 0, and then apply a value curve ramp of 100-0 to the transparency. I faded all the way down before the end of the song so I added the "off" effect to keep everything off.

There are other ways of doing this and hopefully others will add their 2c.

Sounds like a great way to do it. Thanks for the suggestion!

Yep .. that's a great way to do this ... Call it something obvious like "Everything (Last Group)"
