just a quick tip (and a little praise for the program)
I followed Gary's tutorial (a page ago) and I don't need to have a "tune to XX.XFM" sign.
I opened Vixen, created a new blank sequence.
Then converted it to xlights.
then in the sequence tab, I created tune to effect that shows up in the megatree.
then i added a Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year ones as well.
Now I have short sequences to just pop in during the show.
