Title: Import/Convert Vixen 2 sequence into xLights?
Post by: jwilliams31 on November 30, 2018, 09:53:35 AM

I have several Vixen 2 sequences that I would like to transfer over into xLights.  I have set up my models/channels in xLights from my Vixen sequences.  Then I create a new sequence and select Vixen.  When it finishes, it populates the channel/model list, but it does not fill in the actual on/off portion of the sequence.

How do I properly import a Vixen 2 sequence.

Thanks.

first off if you (Render All) and save that sequence and try and play it dose it work most likely will? I believe the way you imported the Sequence is during your initial set up screen and those are called Data Layers you wont see the Sequence info and wont be able to Change it. if you do a google search for Mapping Effects you will be able to bring in your sequences fasted and see and change the information in the sequencer.   

best bet is to jump into Zoom someone could help walk you through it.

I re-ran the import and you were right.  After I rendered it, I was able to play the sequence and it did show up properly on the preview.

I will have to look into the mapping as you mentioned to see if I can get the actual channel settings to appear. 

Thank you.
