I have made a new video. This video is "How to setup your show in xLights". https://vimeo.com/130035888. I cover using a spreadsheet to calculate starting channels. I also show how you can build your entire show and worry about what kind of controllers you use (usb LOR, DMX, Pixelnet, Renard, E1.31) later. I remind you that xlights has this object oriented design that separates the actual lights or controllers from the concept of models (or display elements). Around 46:10 i go over the process of changing all RGB models into dumb rgb. I then change every model into single channel AC lights. I am attaching the simple spreadsheet i use for setting channels. I received 6 phone calls (from SWMBO), so there could be some jumps in continuity. Ill post this and hope it is helpful.
thanks

Thanks Sean and Gil too for the videos.
They are a tremendous aid and extremely useful.
I have watched almost all of them (yes going back to Sean's earliest ones), (I have a decent train commute) and quite often go back again to watch selected ones. Not many other sequencers have the number or level of these videos.
As I often said re LSP . No point having the ability to do complete stacked stuff, if not many people know what to do..or how to achieve it.

Why would you use a "Custom" and draw a funky circle thing for an RGB flood? That's a lot more work than is necessary. Use a single string, length 1. Click on Appearance, set the size to 50 or something, set the transparency to 50% or so. Would likely look better.

Thanks again for another great video.
By way of sharing I offer....
When I am sequencing and setting up my models I find when I COPY a model, so long as it is the last one modified, the start AND end channels are the same as the copied model. I can then just look at the END number and then add 1 and that is the start of the next copied model. I then refer to my list for the end of the LAST one in a series to confirm.

Good idea, I use that also..
