If someone figures this out please post it here. There is hope! I just did and it worked, I am able to see the SS prop in action, then add SE effects to other props. It was a process which as soon as I did it, I had a brain fart and promptly forgot the steps. I'll do it again and write the steps down. I'll start another thread to let this one die out. Something I wanted to try but didn't set the file up properly and that is to see if PE effects can be layered on top of SS effects.

nasa1952 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Yes you can layer PE effect over SS I just finished a sequence in PE. You can also create a SS sequence export as LMS. Then create a new musical sequence with your controller configuration and save it. Open that file in PE, Open the SS file you exported to create the LMS file in PE also. As long as the prop is the same in both SE And PE yo Can use the migration tool in PE to bring The SS sequence in. You will get another screen to select the prop. My prop in PE is called CCR Tree. The same name as in SE. You check it in the box nd it will bring the complete file into the PE grid. If you click it and open the effects you will see it is a movie AVI format and you can also see the file location. At this point you can now create another effect pin wheel butterfly or curtain an insert it on the line under the SS file you migrated in. You can also do more as long as you have a SS license. I hope this helps and not confused anyone.Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of docs doesn't help the level confusion some are experiencing. If you are attempting to load existing sequences be sure to load COPIES or backups to play around with. If you weren't using or trying PE before you might be behind the 8 ball a little. The docs are still available for PE. Watch the videos for adding effects in PE, it's very similar. If you like an effect, add it as a favorite to make it easier to get to. It's too bad some seem disappointed, to me this opens a lot of possibilities for sequencing that haven't been available before. I am waiting for documentation. Currently I am stuck on being able to load existing sequences that had both PE and/or Superstar Intensity files. I haven't figured out how to load Intensity files at all. Remember it is a beta. You can always go back to S4. Alan... So where can I get the S5 beta from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prevue12 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Be prepared to relearn lots of "basic" things with S5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Okay, I have been messing with S5 for three days now and I have gotten so frustrated that I have had to walk away from it. Trying to open something as simple as Channel Settings is really getting on my nerves. Click on a channel and nothing happens, the help file says click on the channel button but there isn't a channel button or right click on a channel and select Channel Settings but it isn't there. I don't even have channel buttons, I have a channel tree. Gotta walk away for now, not going to throw a $4,000 laptop across the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna wait, not even thinking about it, continuing to make faces sing as normal on S4. Once the bugs are worked out I still may wait to jump in since I'm not having problems.
