It said: "Freeze is great. It would be handy if we could capture channels or fixtures currently in an effect." While it's true that Effects are not treated the same as regular parameters, and you can't really FREEZE them in the Fixture Sheet as they are... there is a way to cheat the system. Any running Effect can be converted into Modulators in the Fixture Sheet - which can be held by FREEZE. To convert an Effect, press the TOP key and then touch the running Effect - either from the Effects Pool, or from the "Running Effects" window (press EFFECT EFFECT to open this). This will translate the Effect information into Modulators in the Fixture sheet - and if you're in FREEZE, the look will have the same priority over Playback as any other "Frozen" parameter.
