The Water Cooler / Looking for a Charity to donate Show to

« on: October 05, 2016, 07:35:00 PM »

I have a massive show that I have amassed over some time now. Full value somewhere over $10,000. Custom made WS 2811 pixels, 14 E682 controllers with 12 volt power supplies mounted in weatherproof boxes. To many SS24, Ss16 and SS8's to count. Tens of thousands of incandescent and LED lights, extension cords, mega trees and much, much more. Whoever takes these will have to make a commitment to donate their time and expertise to design, setup and maintain the show. Last year was the first year I ran the show and I had a 20 ft mega, 2 15 foot Mega's 2 12's and 2 10's all with smart pixels. Also I had over 40 other trees with LED and Incand lights. This is a serious show and would be worth the expense to come to Florida to pick it up. All I want is a Tax deductible receipt showing that the show will be used for raising funds to bless a ministry. Please Send me a message or call me 850-728-6711.

Show Assets / Importing Shared Sequences

« on: September 21, 2015, 01:50:15 PM »

Could someone help me understand how sharing a sequence works? I assume you download the shared file into your show folder and than when creating a new sequence you would select import. Is this correct and if so the next step would be to change element names to fit your display. Am I on the right track? Does it matter if one sequence uses 12k channels and I am planning on around 30k channels? Any help would be appreciated. I have already completed my set up and produced all my models.

Thanks Steve that worked. Now I can move onto the tedious effects part as though building 137 trees wasn't tedious enough.Thanks again for your help at Expo.

Do You Need Help? Post it here / Effects not showing on models

« on: July 29, 2015, 06:34:08 PM »

I created a new sequence and am having trouble when it comes to effects. Here is what I have done.
Started in Setup and created channels
Created my models
Created Sequence using MP3'S downloaded from Amazon
Imported timing marks from Music Library in programs/xlights/music that matches song
Added models

All this went well and than I effects by dropping them on the models. When I play the music I see nothing in the whole house model nor the preview model. What am I missing here?

As a new user of xlights I am excited for the opportunity.  This weekend works great for me. 1 earlier is not good plus 1 week is good but Christmas is closing in quickly.

What an awesome show! Everyone on the X/Lights Nutcracker team did an standup job. Prior to the show I would have never walked up to a fire hose and stuck it in my mouth for a drink of water. This past week I feel like I did exactly that. The classes were packed with knowledge, the one on one meetings were priceless. I just wanted to say again on behalf of myself and the full X/Lights Nutcracker community how much we appreciate all the hard work and countless hours "The Team" has put into developing a rock solid platform. I look forward to seeing you all again hopefully; Colorado in September.
