Importing RGBW items as data layer from Vixen 2.1

[Xenia]

Data layer conversion question: I imported a vixen 2.1 sequence as a data layer. I have 16 mini-trees that are made of individual led strings and are RGBW. In vixen I have one color fading into another color or may have white flickering (twinkle) within red green or blue. When I do the data conversion, the colors are mixed as they are seen as one node of rgbw. Is there a way to prevent the mixing? Essentially each node has four layers instead of one that combines all colors.

It sounds like you modeled them as 4 color rgbw strings and I suspect that the only way to do what you want is make individual single color tree models and place them one pixel apart on the preview.  That is what I did last year with my old minis that had 3 led strings per tree.  This year I replaced them with RGB minis just because the colors of the led strings just did not go well with all the rgb that was all over the display on other props.

Thanks, It occurs to me that if I don't mind how they look in the sequencer they will still be correct when they are played on the display as the sequencer will just sent the proper set level on each string and no mixing occurs,
