I added a strobe effect to play simultaneously with a group light cue (the strobe is not in the group).
The group light cues are fine before I add the strobe. Then two things happen:
1. The group light cue is a pulsing red light effect but when I add the strobe this effect flashes weakly once and then just gives a steady light. 
2. The strobe won't quit until I Escape all cues. Adding a Stop cue doesn't work. Adding a Blackout cue after the strobe won't work. 

Any ideas appreciated.

Hi Zestie,

Fast-moving sequences of very short cues can be tricky to build in QLab, since they can bump up against the limitation of how a cue will not restart if it is already playing, and a tightly looping sequence can expose this more readily than other sequences.

If you haven’t already shared the workspace itself with sup...@figure53.com, I’d recommend doing that so we can inspect the cues and look for ways to achieve your goal.

Best,
C
