Trying to recall extract with recorded FX (simple wave circle with default values).  
Everything works fine if I apply extract to selection of fixtures.  
With no selected fixtures FX works, but with “Stagger 0” effect (all fixtures move simultaneously). But in Smart FX tab there is an option “Stagger 100”

Hi Dimitriy,

This isnt surprising. Extracts are meant to have a fixture selection. When you apply the extract which contains the FX, it doesnt know which fixtures to apply it to.

If you want to press a button to play an FX on some specific fixtures. Couldnt you use a cue for this?

Hi Jack,

It seems like I began to understand what extracts are for )))

Thanks for explaining.
