I am trying to remove or change some effects on an old sequence that I brought in from a Vixen 2.X file a year or two ago. I can't remember which version of Xlights I was using at the time, or how exactly I brought the file in. I am pretty sure it wasn't an import thought.
Anyway, I can see the colors for the effect on the sequencer tab for the models. But those are just colors, they are not effects. I can right click on the node for the model and convert it to an effect. But rather than doing that for all my old imported information, I am wondering if there is just a way to delete that. Now that the import allows for the saving of the mapping, I can always just bring in the few old things I still want that way.
Thanks,
Jon

Delete the Data Layer you created from the Sequence Settings dialog.
-
That is what I thought I needed to do, but the only layer in there is a nutcracker layer with no channels. It also won't let me delete that layer.
-
Here are the files if that helps.

Do you have Render Mode set to "Erase Mode"? Have you deleted the associated .fseq file and then opened the sequence?
-
Render mode is set to erase.
I deleted the fseq file and reopened the file. When I open nothing shows up, on those models, but as soon as I save or render, they come back.
-
Well the data is not just magically showing up. It's coming from an effect you have somewhere else. You probably have overlapping channels. Use the Sequence Checker.

I think I found my problem. I had some unassigned models that I forgot about being in there that had the effects on them. With all the new features, I didn't see where the old models that weren't part of my display where hiding. Loving all of the new features as I am finding them! Great work!!
