Hi everyone, I am new to this. it will be my fist time llght show.and I am trying to setup for Halloween. I am using Xlights program, I really like it. the problem is now I need to assign my props (house outline, 3 maxtrix , bats, tombstones etc.) to my controllers. I am using a macbook pro and my controllers are Alphapix 16 and a 4. I visited many videos however I couldnt ping my macbook to the controllers using the Ethernet cord. Also to get started learning Xlights I used a bunch of nulls instead of assigning universes. now I am alittle confused on how to assign to the controllers. I brought Holidaycoro Ready2run controllers, my girlfriend figured out how to solder the strips to the pigtails but for the bullet nodes we don't know how. Also we brought a Pi and havent figured that out yet to use. She downloaded all the software needed we thought but it is a no go. If anyone have any time to help me , I would be so grateful I really want this to happen before Halloween but I am so scared this won't happen, but I am a fighter. Can anyone help me? where should start hanging the lights from the roof down? where and how do I put the controller for the house. and how to map everything in my show that it works? I don't have any power injections, someone said to just run shows no more thank 50% of the lights power it would work, is that true? I will send a copy of a show file. OH, I would really appreciate this.

If you need extra assistance:
Join the Facebook group. Traffic is high there so for general questions you will get fast response. For trickier questions the forum here has the experts.
Join the us Wednesday evening zoom call. Lots of people all on the call and they lave answering questions. Although the forum can be intimidating due to the number online.
Finally post in fb asking if someone will jump into zoom to help you with something. 9 times out of 10 someone will jump in ... pretty much 24x7.

I have viewed your video and it helped me up to where I am now. I have a problem with justifying the music because he has mega tree talking to a smaller tree intro and a outro so i went into my Adobe Audition and added the intro and outro at end but I can't seem to move the effects to match up. also the mega tree images dont show. I know the models arent in sync, I have been working with these problems for weeks. I have gotten closer but I know im missing the big ship. I am still very clumsy and I get frustrated and just shout down until the next day. I really appreciate everyone responding to help. Thank you.

Hi my name is Angela, this will be my first year doing a light show. I have done hours of research and youtube videos trying to crunch all this knowledge of softwares, LOR and I am going with Xlights, lights, controllers etc. I am on a time clock because I have to be able to sell all this to my girlfriend so she will fork out the money I need to make this magical show I plan to have for Halloween and Christmas. so back to Xlights I have pulled my hair out trying to figure out how to put a free sequence by Logan Carpenter on my house and I keep failing. I get confused with the different files and how to make everything come together. I would like the mega tree but I can't figure out how to import the images and sequence to my models. I am beyond aggravated! My grand kids love the Troll movie, so do I. I need HELP!!!somebody help me please.
