Title: Importing sequence issues
Post by: aknflyer on June 01, 2017, 01:35:11 AM: I was watching keiths video:http://videos.xlights.org/importing-a-xlights-sequence_5989f0fdb.html (http://videos.xlights.org/importing-a-xlights-sequence_5989f0fdb.html)
and could not get an imported sequence to display after rendering.
Now I cannot open my original layout. It just displays the preview for the user sequence I was looking at.
I do not want to re-do it. How do I recover?
I put all the downloaded sequences in a folder under my directory as described, so I would not break the links.
What did I do wrong?

Post by: Dabil on June 01, 2017, 08:13:23 PM: I recently had a similar issue with an imported sequence myself. After rendering I would hit play and would get nothing. But if I clicked on the first effect on the timeline I would see the preview of the effect and then if I hit play, it would play no problem. That was with 2017.12, after upgrading to 2017.14 I didn't see that problem. So not sure if it was a bug that got fixed, or just a fluke issue with the PC.

I am located in Anchorage, Alaska. I know of only one person in AK that is doing pixels, from a Dave Pitts post. I dont know his user name or if he is on here. Besides he is on an island far from me. I am a 38 yr telecom tech. So I think I can figure this out. Just get stuck sometimes. Watching tons of videos, reading, following threads. I appreciate the help you guys are providing.
