AC LOR Sequence Toolbar
« on: August 21, 2020, 07:47:10 AM »
Hello I am able to sequence RGB in x lights but when using AC toolbar for my AC LOR lights I'm not able to drag and drop or highlight to add any AC effects..  Im clicking AC button to activate the toolbar or settings but when clicking icons and trying to highlight in sequence AC effects are being added.  I have got the bug report a few times when messing with the toolbar too.  Any help is appreciated,.

AC effects are not drag and drop.  Did you mean to say "AC effects are being added" or should there have been a not in there.  It reads confusing.

Sorry I meant adding LOR effects.  I click on AC toolbar, then I try and add AC effects, but nothing is being added to sequence.  I have an easy time dragging and dropping rgb effects but When I activate AC toolbar is unable to add effects.  I watched videos of adding ac effects for LOR sequence using x lights seems straightforward but not working for me somehow.  I am using Mac OS X version .  Thanks for reply and help

Do you have a timing track with a fair number of timing marks and is it active. Ac mode is tightly dependent on the cells the timing marks create.

Have you watched any of the ac mode videos?

If you can click on a cell and move around using the keys you are half way there. At that point if you press the o key does it turn the channel on. If you click and drag to highlight multiple cells does that work.

Failing that jump in zoom and ask. It?s bound to be something simple you are overlooking.
