I have used LOR but have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm lost in your question. Can you go a little more in depth?  I would be thoroughly shocked if xlights can't do something that lor pe can.

Well I think I just guessed that PE means Pixel Editor?  I had no idea when I first saw that.  The pixel editor was created from the original xLights code so I'm pretty sure whatever you are doing is possible.  I just need to know what you mean by a cross fade.  Do you mean fading from one effect to another?

Correct Gil, PE is pixel editor. I'm with you, if pe can do it, so can xlights.

Yes pixel editor,  and yes fade between effects. Not necessarily a mask per se but a cross fade where one dims while the next starts

Here's the manual.  I would read and get familiar.

Why don't you post a video of what you want. If pe can do it, do a video of pe doing what you are wanting.

I believe the morph checkbox will fade from the upper effect to the effect below it.  I never use it.  If I want to do that I create it myself using two layers and effects on each layer.  I overlap the effects how much I want them to overlap and I type in the starting and ending fade values I want.  You just need to experiment.
