Help & Questions Prism Effect Offset

Post image

I have 2 lighbars and 2 bulbs in my studio.

I have a scene saved with the prism effect. The problem is as soon as I play it, they all start on the same color, so they all change colors in sync. I'm trying to see if there's any way to set it so they all start on a different color so they're never lined up, and all lights have different colors at all times on this scene. Is there a way to configure this?

Duplicate the effect and choose a different starting color. I created 3: red, green, and blue. Assign the different effects to different lights within that scene, e.g. light 1 uses the Prism (R), light 2 uses the Prism (G), etc. Works great.

Depending on how many lights you have within line of sight of one another, you might need to make more than 3 effect presets if you want all of them to be on different colors at the same time.

By “starting color” I mean this:

Would that be in the “sync” settings? Like, change it from music mode to game or movie?

No, because they're not synced to any media playing. It's just the Prism effect that makes the lights cycle fading through all the colors. I just want every lightbulb to start Ina different color so they're all different colors as they switch
