To all the webinar and seminar attendees. I just sent your free "Russian Dance" sequence by Lilia. If you did not receive an email with your sequence please send me an email at xlights@nutcracker123.com.
Each sequence that you get from the store will be sent to you in a zip. It will have the sequence file, the picture of our home for u to use as the background image, our xlights_rgbeffects and xlights_networks xml files.
Here is the README from the Russian Dance to give you an idea of the steps.

Edit the sound file: Editing is not needed for this song, The entire file was used.
Mapping to your house: All sequences that I sell have been created for the 90 models on our 4217 Greenfinch Dr, Littleton CO 80126 home.
You have two choices of getting my sequence onto your home:
1) Open my sequence in the 1st copy of xLights, open a new sequence in a 2nd copy of xLights. In the second copy you will do
a) Create New Sequences
b) Specify sound file that you downloaded
c) Choose 20fps or 40fps
d) Set your view in the SEQUENCER tab
e) Highlight a models entire line of effect from 1dt Copy (Lilia's sequence) and paste to the model
in your home that closest matches. Do this for each of the models in your home (Cut from 1st xLights and paste into 2nd xLights)
PRO: No mapping file needed
CON: You must repeat these steps on every sequence
2) need a mapping file to map each model in my sequence to the model that best matches on your home.
Sean created a video describing this process. This can help you build your own mapping file. You will need the mapping file to been
created just once. The same mapping file will be used on all future purchases of my sequences.
I offer a service to make a mapping file for you. If you are interested in this service ($50-$150) send these
files to me lilia@nutcracker123.com. Here are the steps for using a mapping file
a) Create New Sequences
b) Specify sound file that you downloaded
c) Choose 20fps or 40fps
d) Set your view in the SEQUENCER tab
e) Do an "Import,Import Effects"
f) Specify xml in the file type. Find the Lilia sequence you just downloaded.
g) The Mapping Screen comes up. Click in the upper left corner pull down. Specify a model from your home. Click Add model
for import.
h) Find the model you just added. Go to the "Channel" column. Double click on cell to get a pull down
list of all the models on our home. Pick the best match.
i) Repeat (g) and (h) until all of your models have been mapped.
j) IMPORTANT!!! Press "Save Mapping" and save all of this mapping into a file. I called my file "mapping".
k) Click OK and Lilia sequence is mapped into your home.
If this is the second or all future sequences you have from Lilia
a) Create New Sequences
b) Specify sound file that you downloaded
c) Choose 20fps or 40fps
d) Set your view in the SEQUENCER tab
e) Do an "Import,Import Effects"
f) Specify xml in the file type. Find the Lilia sequence you just downloaded.
g) The Mapping Screen comes up. Click "Load Mapping". Pick "mapping.txt" from your show directory.
h) Click OK and Lilia sequence is mapped into your home.
PRO: This mapping file has captured all mapping information and allows future conversions in less than 1 minute
CON: First time you create a mapping file it can take hours to complete it
Lilia's notes on this sequence: Nothing is half tone. Nothing is slowing down.
The rhythm! The tempo! The musical speeding up development! The "Russian"! Everything is about bold colors.
Everything is reflecting dancing moves. Twirling skirts, rotating Christmas trees. Never ending movements through all display elements- fast moving.
There is a Russian word "chorovod" it translates as roundelay. Dictionary says roundelay: "a short simple song with a refrain. a circle dance."
So Chorovod means the style of dancing in a circle while moving at different speeds .
The dance element is characteristic of the Russian folk dance.
