Way to go! Thanks so much !

Do You Need Help? Post it here / Understanding Video Effect

« on: September 20, 2016, 12:21:16 PM »

Hello!

How does the video effect actually work? I'm having the hardest time deciding what kinds of videos I should download. Do I pay for 1080P or do I stick with NTSC? How does it handle unusually shaped grids? Then there's the "maintain aspect ratio" part of it which really confuses me because you would think a 1080P video would simply cover the whole space, especially if you have less pixels than a 1080P TV.

Thoughts?

General Software / Colors are not correct in Pictures Effect

« on: July 25, 2016, 09:51:05 AM »

I am running into a fascinating issue where some images do not appear in their proper colors when using the Pictures Effect. I notice Reds skew towards the pinkish side and some greens skew towards blue. I tried manipulating the photos themselves (replacing all visible red with "true" red) and that seems to help somewhat (closer to Orange than Pink now) but I'm trying to determine the underlying issue.

It all looks good on the visualizer. The pre and post manipulated photos look identical, but when applied to actual lights, there is a noticeable difference. Any thoughts on how color management works with XLights? Is it my PNG file format causing the issue?
