Create an on effect in the first channel that you want the effect to begin in. Select that effect. Right click and copy effect. Click tilt & pan. With mouse over effect press shift. Slide down and over for the duration you want the chase. When you get to the last channel that you want the effect release and it will give you four different chase options, linear chase, ease in, ease out, ease in & out. It will also give you an option to use a color blend over the course of the chase. Hope that helps. George
Why do you use tilt & pan? If I do the same steps but choose the chaser effect, I get the same results. Am I missing something?
Just the way I have always done it, and it works. I will definitely try it with the chaser effect now as well, do you get more options?
No, I don't get any more options. same as the tilt and pan method. Its nice to know there is another way to chase. One thing I did notice while trying your technique, I created 6 RGB controllers, with 75 channels per controller. I collapsed all controllers. Then turned the on effect, for channel 1 (1-3), copied that "on" effect and chased it across all controllers. Needless to say, there was an "on" effect for all channels the first 1/2 sec in the first controller, but chased the rest of the controllers fine.
So I tried almost the same process as above, except this time after copying the effect, I clicked undo. Then chose chase, hovered over the empty cell where I wanted the chase to start, shift and dragged the duration, I had a perfect chase over all 450 channels. Maybe this is common knowledge? I learned something new, due to your post
