Title: Xlight to LOR
Post by: TroyMann on December 03, 2018, 09:30:22 AM
Sorry ran into a new problem and can't seem to figure it out.  I am sure it's easy, I keep getting a

"cannot convert to LOR unless the sequence timing is evenly divided by 10ms"

when I attempt to convert xlights to LOR.  Why?

Thank you

You get the warning because your sequence timing is not a multiple of 10ms.  How can I word the warning to make it easier to understand?  You obviously used something like 25ms timing which doesn't evenly divide by 10ms.  You need to use something like 20ms, 30ms, 40ms, 50ms.   LOR uses centiseconds (10ms) so you cannot easily convert 25ms sequences because we would need to shift every effect edge to the nearest 10ms boundary so its easier to just make you shift the timing in xLights so you have better control over which way the effects are shifted.  If you go to bigger numbers you lose resolution.

Ok that makes sense, is there a way to fix that issue without re sequencing?

Open Sequence Settings dialog, got the tab with the timing, click the question mark to change the timing.  It will prompt you to let it Save, close, and then reopen the sequence and I think it may render after reopening.  Either way need to make sure it re-does the render.

Figured it out,  thank you for the push in the correct direction.
