Import Effects

This option enables you to import sequences from other sequencers as editable effects. However, in many cases it generates a large number of effects. In most cases, importing of RGB effects as Data Layers will suffice. There could be some cases (A/C channel data or LOR singing face sequences) where it is desirable to import using the Import Effects function.

The following example describes how to use this function to import an 'Arch' effect from an LSP .msq sequence.

• Ensure that you have created or opened an existing sequence that has the models added to the sequencer that you wish to import to.
• Select ‘Import Effects’ from the Import tab and select the LSP sequence (the same process can be used for other supported sequence types from the drop down list).
• Use the drop down arrow , select a model and Click on the ‘Add Model for Import’ from the list of models defined on the sequencer.
  • Multiple models can be selected i.e. you can select another Model (‘Arch 2’) and Click on the ‘ Add Model for Import’ again.
• Select the ‘Map by Strand/CCR’ option to select an entire strand (or multiple strands ) to import at a time.
• Double click in the Channel column . Select the required channel/controller/strand from the drop down list.
• Select the required model and press enter. You can repeat this for multiple models
• Select ‘Save Mapping’ to Save the mapping. The mapping can then be re-used by Clicking on the ‘Load Mapping’ button the next time.
• A status message will be displayed at the bottom indicating that the sequence has been imported.
• Click on the ‘Render All’ button.

• In order to Improve performance of the imported effects and reduce the memory footprint, in the sequencer tab, right click against each of the imported model names and select ‘Promote Node Effects’. This will search through the node level ‘On’ and ‘Color Wash’ effects and if the same effect is on all the nodes at the exact same times, it will be removed from the nodes and placed on the Model.
