Create a scene with the mover doing your figure 8 pattern but before you save it disable your dimmer channel and shutter channel.
Create a new scene using your color channel(s) to create a single color scene. Create a new scene for each color you would like. Have your shutter open and Dimmer up for each scene. Faders set to snap. If you have gobos you can do the same thing, with just the gobos-no dimmer, shutter or color.
In the Live tab create a button for your movement, each color and gobo (if any).
When you want to play the scene, start with your figure 8 button, this will start you movers moving, with no light coming out. Give it a second or 2 for it to get into position. Then pick the color button you want through at your audience by clicking the color button. If you have gobo's you want to use, I suggest pressing that button first before the color button. When you want to change colors, click on another color (don't deactivate your first button). The last button pressed will override the previous button, (both will be engaged). If you click your 2nd color button off, the 1st button will take backover.
The best way to grasp this is to think of the movement, color & gobo's as layers. You first want to lay down your movement layer (but nobody will be able to see it), then your gobo layer (again nobody will see it) then finally your color/light layer. This will expose your previous layers.
I hope this helps.
