I have a question which may be already be answered but I can't find it anywhere.
When adding effects on the nutcracker tab to one model MEGATREE I set a timing mark say at 10.00. I give the colorwash effect with a 2 second fade in and a 2 second fade out to my mega tree. I want that effect to last 7 seconds but have another timing mark and effect for another model, say WINDOW at 12.00. Every time a play the preview the colorwash starts over at 12.00. With a fade in. How do I keep this from happening?
Thanks
Ryan

I think if you leave the cell blank of effects BELOW your megatree at the 12.0 it should continue with the last effect until the next filled in cell at a later timing mark.
e.g. on cell at 10 you have your color wash and don't put another effect into a cell under the megatree until 20, you should get the megatree playing for 10 seconds.

I tried leaving the cells beneath blank, but it doesn't make any difference. Every timing mark starts the effect over(at least in the preview) for every model. I posted this in the Xlights forum as well and it was thought that xlights does not have this capability yet.

Ryan, I just tried duplicating your scenario and, with the cells blank, it is not restarting.
I've attached the xml code I created if you want to look. (I added "txt" to the file extension to make it a legal attachment)

I think you have to enter none into the cells you don't want anything to happen.

If you enter None, then that is what you'll get - Nothing on the display and nothing output for that time slot in the XSEQ file.

I have found that leaving a grid cell black will leave whatever was there alone. I have been updating some old vixen sequences with RGB effects and as I had things for my pixel tree and then save the xseq file all is ok, When I go to the preview and play the sequence all my original vixen effects are still there in the preview window.
I do put none, none in the last cells in the grid to ensure that the lights are all off when the sequence completes.
