Thanks for the encouragement and the down to the earth words, Ron! Great video, show the use of the layers settings is a plus. Really like that part of you videos, going far and beyond to make it look right even when is not your cup of tea, it has helped our show tremendously.
Thank you Ron. Now that I've got a good start, I'm looking forward to learning this multi-level realm in the world of editing and telling a magical story with lights. Good stuff! 👍👍
Hi Ron, thank you for your videos. I am trying to learn how to sequence and this video was very helpful in focusing on a process of small steps instead of tackling the entire layout. My question is, how did you add those notes in the top line of the timing tracks? Where you noted verse chorus, etc. I would like to block my songs out like that to help me focus on the various sections. I appreciate your time!
Thanks for the tips. I have never sequenced with timing marks ticked. Looks like a faster way to do it because it lines the effects up and looks like it auto bulk edits when multiple effects are selected without having to hit apply. Very interesting. I’ll have to give it a try. Do you ever sequence with timings ticked off and in which scenario would you choose one over the other?
Great show! What kind of lights do you use for wrapping your trees and fence? Where did you get them? I like your show so much. I am looking at getting your sequence software. Your show is so good!
GRACIAS POR TODOS SUS CONSEJOS ...Y AUNQUE NO SE INGLES TRATO DE APRENDER COMO USAR XLIGHTS .....ME A COSTADO MUCHO PERO AHI VOY DESPACIO PERO SEGURO ....GRACIAS POR DARNOS UN POCO DE LO MUCHO QUE SABE.......1000000000000 GRACIAS
Hello,Is it more advisable to upload music sequences to the SD card individually or as a single extended playlist, roughly 25-30 minutes long? Are there potential issues with the longer playlist?
No. You should be able to send everything at once. I had a sequence running at a large outdoor mall in Florida and pushed a sequence to the Pi and every controller with no issues. I was also able to push 40 sequences at the same time with music going tobtye Pi no issues.
Is it just me? I could barely see the effects on the house preview and couldn't see at all, any of the length markers of any of the effects. Even went full screen on a big monitor and still couldn't see much. Everything was blurry.
Thanks, I will add than next time. I had deliberately glossed over GPU interaction (to try and keep it simpler) but I like the GPU analogy "Alien Minions", I wish I had thought of that 😀
You make it look so easy peasy Ron!
I had a little practice, nothing more.
Thanks Ron, I pick up new things every time I watch one of your vids…. It’s an absorbing hobby…
That drag and drop tip at 11:25 is a game changer
It's surprising how many simple things in xLights make such a difference in time management when sequencing.
I caught that and was thinking OMG, game changer. I've found it's little things in a bigger picture that is where we learn the most sometimes.
@@maddmaxxawr I'm glad that helped.

Glad to help.
Great teaching Ron, will apply your advice into my own sequencing! Its so fun to do! Very addicting to create!

Great Video, Do you mind sharing what the name of the song is that you used.

I always have timing marks on when sequencing.
nice tutorial very well explained im just wondering how you got the words in there (Chorus) (verse)

De nada
Thank you for this video. I was always curious how you manage to sequence a song that doesn't go along with the beat for $199. Brilliant!
Awesome 👌 what is the name of the song sounds very good
On Christmas Eve - Chimney Givers

@ thank you. this is individual or the extended playlist (will be done on audacity)?👍🏽
What song you use in the video
I don't remember but it is from Epidemic Sound.
@xTremeSequences I was going to copy what you did maybe I can learn to do more
How do we change the view to look a little more like yours?
All window panes in xLighs can be positioned where you like. Once done you can click on View - Perspectives and save that view.
@xTreme Sequences Thank you for all your helpful information. Also, thank you for making my mega trees look magical this year.
Thanks for the kind words. Merry Christmas!!!
7:23 How dare you advertise yourself! 😂 That’s funny man.
xTremely unprofessional! LOL!!!
I cannot import Music into XLights. How do you get it in?
Create a new musical sequence. It will ask for the music. Navigate to your song. Boom!
What apps do you use to find music?
This is where I can’t find much info. How do you download music?
@@JamesCurry-qi4pt I pay for it using Amazon. Then I download it from Amazon. It's about as easy as can be.
@@JamesCurry-qi4pt I hope you pay for music and not cheap out like some. Don't be that guy.
Thanks for the video. Unfortunately terms like verse, Chorus and Crash make my eyes glaze over. I guess I'm doomed to buying sequences.
Chuck, that's okay. That's why I'm here for you.
Is it just me? I could barely see the effects on the house preview and couldn't see at all, any of the length markers of any of the effects. Even went full screen on a big monitor and still couldn't see much. Everything was blurry.
Dunno. You may need to buy a $5k monitor to see it better. LOL! I would lower the resolution on your monitor and try again.
