Thanks Gil. I am going to start on this tomorrow night. Tonight was a night to start burning-in some new pixels...
Edit---tried this on the first minitree as recommended--I imported the AC model as minitree 1 strand 1 and I am seeing the on/off effects I set in last year's sequence. Will be a little tedious once but I think once I have mapped the minitrees I can do for each sequence file. This will save me a lot of time
Edit #2--imported all of last year's minitrees & promoted to models. Worked like a CHAMP. Now I can use this mapping to import the rest of the minitree effects I have built over the course of the last few years. THANKS GIL
