Movement Presets (Spots and Beams) & Fixture Group Expansion

I've been using this product for a few days now, and I’m genuinely blown away by everything it can do—loving it so far.

The only thing I’ve found myself wishing for (besides the ability to create more groups for different fixtures, which I hope is coming in the future) is the option for some pre-made, good-looking movement patterns for moving head lights.

Kind of like how my DJI drone works—I’m not skilled enough to manually capture all those cinematic shots, but with the “snapshots” feature, the drone handles it for me. It’d be amazing to have something similar here: smooth, professional-grade movement presets where multiple beams cross or sweep across the stage in an intentional, polished way, ready to select and use quickly.

I like a lot of the current movement options, but it’d be great to have a fixed movement that doesn’t run continuously—one that you could adjust the spread on, and after the movement completes, the light stays in place until you trigger it again (or set it to loop if you want). Even better would be the ability to edit where the movement ends or lands, like in the video I’ll attach.

Basically, it’d be awesome to have a bank of movement “snapshots” to grab from quickly, each with the option to fine-tune the final position and behavior

Absolutely! I think it would be a great addition! I know not everyone has the same setup as I do, but the ability to have some premade movements for anybody to add to vs just having them kind of wander all around would be a great addition.


 I know I’d mentioned it in a previous conversation about having more “groups”, I have a very large setup that we run for my tour rig, and where I have a lot setup under snapshots, I find that the 4 groups, where it is a lot, it would be nice to have the option, kinda like on a webbrowser to say, I need another, hit the + and add additional groups. Right now I have my big wash/zoom beams setup as my primary group, secondary are my middle row of panels to break up the entire wall, the 3rd group is the top and bottom rows of panels, while the 4th is set up for my small accent movers. Where all of that works amazing, I have more lights that would be great to be able to say “I need a group for front fill/wash lights *Hit the +add group* and a new tab pop up and make a group for my front trusses. As well as anything else I add in. 


Im sure someone for instance, a DJ, wouldn’t have the need for more fixture groups, I find myself as a touring artist, someone who sees the massive potential in your product to make it much more useful in creating a visual for my live show….. and the need for kind of an “*On Demand* - Add NEW Fixture Group” button would be an amazing option to have access too. That way you're not having to go in and manually cut off lights in a group by creating a snapshot (especially something with 94 channels haha) each time I need certain lights on or off

Yes!  Agreed that our motion patterns have some room for improvement and we've been talking about this.  Really appreciate your feedback!
