JR I don’t see animator. File open only allows make new sequence or make animation sequence. I want to get to my orginal animation sequence I use for each song I sequence. Not sure if this helps but it’s the LCC file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 You aren't asking about the animation window or the Visualizer. You are asking about the template you use when creating new sequences. Simply open a new sequence, and import in the channels from your LCC file. Make your updates and then re-export to a (preferably new) LCC file. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. P Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 10 minutes ago, ~DOC~ said: Can you save over the orginal master config with out problems? A little advice, you can always add to the channel config as long as you add channels to the bottom of a sequence. Adding channels in the middle or deleteing channels in the middle will often times screw up your sequencing. If you add or delete channels in the middle of the sequence the sequencing itself may not move properly and then you end up with sequencing on channels that isn't suppose to be there. If you want to modify a channel config just open a sequence with the current channel config, add channels to the bottom then export and save the new config file. If you find yourself deleting a prop just clear the original channels but leave them in place and sequence them for the new prop but don't move them. If you have to rearrange channels for easier sequencing or for any reason then that is when you use Tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Here is a little example of what happened to me this year. I replaced my dumb RGB windows on my house with pixels so the three CMB24D's that use to run those windows were no longer needed there. I used a backup copy of my sequence and deleted those controllers to see what happens. Those three controllers were in the middle of my sequence and was comprised of 72 channels and when I deleted them the other channels below moved up but the sequencing didn't. So 72 channels of sequencing on my ribbon tree moved into my matrix and 72 channels of my matrix moved into my arches, not desired results. I wish there was a way to lock sequencing to a channel so when a channels moves the sequencing goes with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
