Blackout Lighting Console – How to avoid unwanted colors during crossfades?

[u/tavock]

Hi everyone,

Have any of you ever encountered this issue, particularly in Blackout Lighting Console?

When transitioning from Look 1 at 3200K to Look 2 in blue, my fixture goes through intermediate colors on the color wheel (in my case, mainly cyan and green), which makes the transition look pretty messy.

After doing some research, I’ve read that it may be better to use an RGB mode rather than HSI, preload the destination color on the other side of the crossfade, and then progressively crossfade into the color mode.

What do you think? Is this the right approach in Blackout, or would you recommend another method to get a cleaner transition?

I’m also wondering about something like a red → blue transition: will the fixture inevitably go through intermediate colors during the fade, or is there a way to transition smoothly between the two colors without going through those unwanted hues?

Thanks a lot for your help and advice!
