Great information, thanks! I sort of do the opposite. I look at sequences that have a lot of whole house effects and bypass buying them as I know I will never get anywhere near that much of my house covered (I do not want too), so figured it wasn't worth getting. I may re-look at how I see for sale sequences.
I would be inclined to do the same; especially when so much of a sequence is riddled with them. They have a place but too much and I think the sequencer is being lazy.
This is great for us with smaller shows. I'd like to see more of this! How do I deal with with whole house effects that are meant to look like search lights?
Excellent points regarding number of props and display styles (house vs land) I have quite a few props but spread over part of house visible from the street and a large yard. I want to convert from superstar to xLights but wonder if I will get the xTreme Sequence look I am after?
I complained about this very issue! However, my wife's solution was to buy me more props for 10k more pixels :) My shaders and whole house effects look amazing on my new layout.
Oddly enough I've never played with Overlay Centered. Very good video demonstrating your techniques...and how well Overlay Center can look. Thanks.
10/10 no notes. Thank you Ron!

Search me... Since I can only think of one sequence where I have search lights I think you are going to need to put that on your matrix and mega tree.
Ron, it was great to meet you and attend the 2day in AZ!
Likewise!

I would think should be able to accomplish that.
