You also can't have the HU and the sequence editor running at the same time. And make sure that Control Lights is checked in the Play menu.

Or......

How about this one.

AAARRRRGGG!!! Why does their stop near me always land right on opening weekend for my light show? Sigh.............

That is probably the best pixel tree sequence I have ever seen. The musicality is amazing!

Which one are you talking about? There are a lot of them out there. Have a youtube link?

Marty Slack has a great how to on building coro projects at www.christmasutah.com I believe in simplicity in my singers. Just two mouth positions open and closed. The audience all gets it and programming is much simpler. I'm adding light bulb backup singers. Just plain ol' incans. I use a variety of sets. 100's (often split into 50's, 35 sets, and 20 sets (from candy canes). With a little planning, things can come out pretty even with few bulbs left over.

My buddies drone records the audio from his phone while flying so you can actually hear what’s going on.

I agree with what's been said. Upgrade to advanced to get all the tools, especially the beat wizard. There is definitely a learning curve to sequencing and it will go faster. Best to get some shared sequences and see how others do it to learn tricks. Funny, 5 hours for 30 seconds sounds about right but then I have about 300 channels. The CTB16PC's are probably best for you at this point. If you are looking at doing coro, Marty Slack has a great how to on his website. www.christmasutah.com

I have a disdain for the HC trees and their oversized mouths.

Burn them.

It sounds like you were trying to jump into the deep end without a life preserver or knowing how to swim. Tell us what you are trying to do with the lights and we will have a better idea of what to tell you.

This is a good example of why I don't use any cloud services to store my files unless it is just a backup copy. Better to have an external drive of some kind.

I hope you immediately changed your password.

Good job! Looks like you had two red mini trees misbehaving.
