Title: Need help with sequencing
Post by: travisb6989 on December 05, 2018, 05:54:55 PM: Hello!

I know its like December something already... But this is my 3rd year doing lights however this year I had to start over as I moved and work has been keeping me busy (self employeed).

I love doing this and setting up the display but i lack drastically in the ability to sequence a display. Does anyone have suggestions or have experience using some type of auto sequencing and timings? I just don't have the ear for it nor the creativity. Not to mention time this year...

Thoughts or advice would be great.

I learned how to map someone elses sequence from their layout to my own layout. Now I use sequences that are free on the google share or by buying sequences from those folks that sell them.

All the lighting video here have been remapped from someone elses show. These are just the xlights preview screen.

What I do is take/re map someone else's sequences to give me a base to start with and build off of there. to map someone else's sequences is easy.

If I can get my mega tree going I can easily build off of that not many have a porcupine ball, ferris wheel, or icicles hanging in a tree
