Effect Library

The effect library is a convenient way to save and recall your favorite profile effects. Once you have created an effect
it can be copied to the library and will not be removed when you create a new show.
A library effect looks exactly the same as the profile effect however it is missing the channels that the effect will use
to run. The selected library is highlighted in green and the heading along the top of the right hand of the window will
display the library name.
To add an existing profile effect into the library simply select it from the list, right click and select "Add to library".
The name you have given the effect will also become the name of the library item.
You can also create a blank library effect by selecting "Create new library effect" from the "Add Effect" drop down
menu. A dialog will appear asking for the name of the new library effect. Enter an appropriate name and click "OK"
to complete the operation. Click on "Cancel" to return to the effects window without creating the new item.
To remove an entry from the library use the right click menu again and select "Delete" from the available options. A
dialog will appear asking you to confirm the deletion.

Effect Playback Controls

Along the bottom of the effect editor are the three playback controls for testing and debugging your effects. When the
effect is played, a progress line will follow the execution through the effect.
Play
Use the play control to start the effect running. In the case of simple chases the play control is also used to step
through the chase.
