I have looked around and haven't seen anything on this subject.   I have some LOR imported data that looks like it got garbled when it came over to xlights because there are some weird colors on some of my dynamic on/off red/green/white alternating effects.  So, I think it would be easiest to just delete those particular LOR effects and re-do those effects in XL/NC.  When I try to select & delete sections of imported data, some data can be deleted but large sections cannot (or I'm doing something wrong....   which wouldn't surprise me....) be deleted.  Thanks very much.

If you find an answer to this let me know. I’ve tried everything I can think of and even when I’ve been able to delete the effects they come back when I render the sequence. The only solution I found was to put an xlight effect over top of the imported LOR effect, but I just had a case where that didn’t work. I’ve conceded to start from scratch with no imported effects.

idoot3---that is my plan, after this Christmas...   I am going to try to delete the model and all effects, save the file without the model, then re-install the model into the file & re-sequence with xlights.   I'll let you know how that works.

You can't delete imported data but you can drop an Off effect which will blank it out.  If you have a case where you think it didn't work you did something wrong.

Thanks Gil.   I'll do that.

What I found to work is to set the effect where I want it in the time slot, then expand the nodes and delete stuff other than what I just set in that time slot (deleting stuff that I believe must be from my original LOR sequence), then render/save.   That is a bit tedious but it is effective so I am happy with it!
