Do You Need Help? Post it here / To edit a sequence on a different machine which files should I copy

« on: December 01, 2015, 09:53:03 AM »

Hi, I have a sequence on a PC that I want to edit on my macbook. I copied all the files in the show folder I created onto a USB drive, Which files do I need to copy to the Macbook? I copied the whole folder and can see and edit the sequence, but when I try to save it I get three error messages about unable to find other sequences with different names that were earlier versions.

Do You Need Help? Post it here / Which effects work best on arches

« on: November 25, 2015, 07:33:19 PM »

I have 5 arches, 8 channels each, trying to find effects that will work with them, what are other people using. I am looking for a single segment to start at one end and go all the way along the line for instance. I can get all 5 arches to mirror each other but that's about it.

Do You Need Help? Post it here / Re: importing vixen file

« on: November 19, 2015, 11:10:57 AM »

Ok, I figured it out, the vixen seq was only recorded at 100ms, 10FS, I was creating the new sequence at 40FS, 25ms in Xlights.which is what I want the new sequence to be., therefore the vixen seq was playing way faster than it was meant to be. so if I record the new sequence as 10FS timing and import vixen is there any way to then change it to 25FS afterwards?
Thanjks

Do You Need Help? Post it here / importing vixen file

« on: November 18, 2015, 09:29:22 PM »

Hi, I am trying to import a vixen file. I set my model up in xlights, go to new sequence, animation, import, vixen, select the file, done. I then edit the display elements add for the sequence in the timing grid, I go to the settings and change the sequence to 3 minutes, but only get 30 seconds of the vixen sequence showing up in the preview. What did I miss? the default sequence time seems to be 30 seconds but you cant change that till after you create the sequence as far as I can see.

Do You Need Help? Post it here / Mega tree smooth fade

« on: October 31, 2015, 12:59:56 PM »

Hi guys, new to Xlights and just experimenting. I have a megatree made from RGB dumb strings. I want to use the color bar effect but rather than snap from one color to the next as it goes around is there a way to make a smooth cross fade instead?
Thanks
