Need "on" with random

[jnealand]

I've been thinking and that's dangerous.  I would like to see what would be a static random effect.  This would give a colorful display to put up between playlists, during voiceover announcements, before the show and after the show.  Last year after the show ended I put a static faded green color on my eaves just to keep some light in the yard since I have all my other yard night lights permanently off during the show season.  I would not want to do random all night, but it got me to thinking about what I could do that would have some lights but not let folks think a show is playing.  Voila on with a random effect.

This could also be used on an indoor tree where your spouse does not want to see animated lights all night long.  LOL

Static faded green = Colorwash @ 50%.

Rather than just an 'on' effect, maybe a 'snapshot' of a current effect. Just like pausing a video and taking a picture of the element at that very moment.  I envision using these snapshots in a slideshow fashion (fading or cutting to the next picture) between the actual sequences themselves.  Having this sort of function would allow one to use all existing effects to create a static display element.

That is exactly what I did last year, now I want a random pattern and not a single color.
