Effects from last year's sequences now behave differently

[Gilrock]

If you see a red X in the Effect Assist then that means the effect you have selected is not supported in that window.  I told you that you probably needed to drop a Morph or Pictures effect down to get the grid to show up.  If you drop a Pictures effect and create a new image it will show you the model size right in the effect assist window.

Please try again when we release the next version 2016.27.  We had another user with a similar issue and the fix may be what you needed.  Here's the description:

"Groups that were set to “grid as per preview” were ending up with a potentially much smaller render buffer than they used to so things that were based on the buffer size (like heights of waves or centers of things) could be smaller. Now fixed."

You guys ROCK!!!       

Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you! 

I did notice that my house background disappeared once while I was in the sequencing tab.  It was still present in the layout tab though.  I exited Xlights & restarted & it came back. 

I haven't been able to duplicate it again.  It's not a big deal, but just thought I'd mention it.

Thanks again for everything!
