Hi,

Open each sequence xml. lets say that your images where in C:\Documents\2015Show\Images\ and you know want it to be in C:\Documents\2016ChristmasShow\Images\ , so you find "C:\Documents\2015Show\Images\" and replace it with "C:\Documents\2016ChristmasShow\Images\" (all occurrences in the xml). then save the xml.

Repeat for each sequence xml. Suggest that after doing one , you open the xml in xlights , render all and play and make sure that the images (if in picture effects) appear correctly .

Logan, I'm getting good response to my "port" of your StarWarsFunk display. Thanks for sharing. I'll keep tweaking some as I watch, but it is looking pretty sweet now. (and I don't have a Pixel Megatree - that got moved to my 40x30 horizontal matrix.

Looking forward to seeing the video 😄

Thanks for showing the video. Your display looks great. Those massive candy canes look very cool.

Thanks, we particularly liked how your effect worked on them... that kind of up and down ripple from the middle in uptown funk...very cool!  Thanks again!

The filepaths will be in the <EffectDB> section.  Look for ones that begin with E_CHECKBOX_Pictures.  It will look like this line I pasted blow where my filepath is C:\xLights\2015\Christmas\StarWarsImages\.
   <Effect>E_CHECKBOX_Pictures_PixelOffsets=0,E_CHECKBOX_Pictures_WrapX=0,E_CHOICE_Pictures_Direction=none,E_FILEPICKER_Pictures_Filename=C:\xLights\2015\Christmas\StarWarsImages\Blueman landed.gif,E_SLIDER_PicturesXC=0,E_SLIDER_PicturesYC=0,E_TEXTCTRL_Pictures_FrameRateAdj=1.0,E_TEXTCTRL_Pictures_Speed=1.0,T_CHECKBOX_LayerMorph=0,T_CHECKBOX_OverlayBkg=0,T_CHOICE_LayerMethod=Normal,T_SLIDER_EffectLayerMix=0,T_TEXTCTRL_Fadein=0.00,T_TEXTCTRL_Fadeout=0.00</Effect>

I apologize for bumping an old thread if this is frowned upon, but in this case it didn't seem like start a new thread was suitable. Just wanted to share my adaptation of this sequence with you as I think using arches with fans adds a very interesting and appealing element to the sequence. I also adapted some of the effects to (2) 24x24 matrices. Anyway hope you enjoy. I can share my version as well if anyone is interested.
