I haven't had a chance to view all the tutorails of xlight/Nutcracker but I thought I would throw this question out there anyway. So when you export an effect from xlights to LOR how do you draw the animation in LOR? I guess I could spend the next six mouths put 2,400 Red, Green and Blue squares in the animation for my mega tree.
The easiest way is to create a LOR clip board file, *.lcb. Now you take a sequence you have. You need to set aside enough channels to handle your megatree. In your example you need a block of 2400 channels.
After creating all the effects for your megatree, say Carol of the Bells, you export the megatree effects as a lcb file. Now on the left side of LOR you click on "Load Clipboard". Now your effect will show up under saved clipboards. Click on the recently loaded clipboard. Now move your cursor down to the first cell of the firt channel where your megatree starts. Press ctl-v or right click and select paste.
Now your entire megatree animation gets pasted where it belongs.
I am not a LOR expert, so others can correct my understanding.
thanks
