never been a LOR user, coming here from Vixen.  I have not been able to make it work and could use some guidance!

Did you watch the video?

Dude you just drag out a square and it cascades whatever is on the top row.

Ok,

I got it to work.  I did not have anything in the top row for it to copy.  Now that I know that is how this works it is easy, but I had never worked with a effect like this before.

Thanks

I thought he covered that in the video but I guess he was still working on it at the time.

I watched the video several months back and have been watching for the "AC" effect to show up in a newly released version of XL.  I love the proposed addition of this way to sequence AC channels as the standard XL way is a semi tedious process of drag and drop for traditional AC sequencing....  Those of us with hybred (AC and pixels) look forward to this addition...

Anyone heard any updates on this "AC" effect?  Or was the idea dropped?

This is definitely in the newest beta release, and several before that.  I can't remember exactly when it was added, but it is there now.

You need to activate the AC toolbar to use the AC features.

Thanks Gil....  I kept looking for it in effects like it was in the video...I guess that changed and I didn't catch it...  Didn't know to activate it......from the menu.....and I'm a creature of habit so I don't experiment enough to find new stuff.....

There is a disadvantage if you don't follow what we are doing year round.  There was a lot of talk about those functions and videos made.
