Would it be possible to be able to build a swing effect with extracts. ---

If you already have it as an extract (cues) you could just pop that into a cuelist and turn it into a chase? ---

I think the only reason I’d prefer this as an effect rather than a chase is so I could use a rate master with it so it can sync with any other fx I have attached to that master and the option to save it as a template But at the moment I do exactly as you say and put it in a chase list ! ---

Can you explain turning a cuelist into a chase? Would it be a cuelist with a bunch of follow cues or looping certain cues in a longer cuelist? Thanks! ---

Ha I’ve been working with Vista for 8 years and never understood that chase feature. I already know a few places where I’ll take out an effect and make a Chase Cuelist. Thanks!
