Ted W Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 OK, my lights are up and running, some issues, but all fixable. Now it is time to build the shows. My files are saved in the sequence editor. I created a folder within the sequence editor to put my version of each sequence so could keep them straight. When I go into the show builder, I cann see and select the files in the sequence editor, but not the folder I created with all my finished work. Cannot seem to move them in or out.Need help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 If you are using the Simple Show Builder, then your sequence files need to be in your default sequence folder. Saving them in another location, for the SSB, won't work.You would need to either use the regular Show Editor (and the Show Scheduler to schedule the shows) or move/copy the sequences back to the default sequence directory to create the shows in the SSB.

TJ Hvasta Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Ted, Don is right, the SSB can be directed into any other folder other than "Sequences".A simple way to "keep everything straight", is to name the finished files with something that will allow them to stand out in your sequence list, allowing you to find them easily. I name all my finished works with 2011_SHOW_FINAL_" so it would look like "2011_SHOW_FINAL_Disney-LuminAria.lms" Add something to the title of your saved sequences so you know those are what you want to use in your show.. just an idea..

bob Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Also about the Simple Show Builder: Note the radio buttons at the bottom of the sequence list - "16 Channels", "32 Channels", and "All Sequences". If the sequences you're expecting aren't showing up in the list, try clicking "All Sequences". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 The Simple Show Builder only sees sequences that are in the default sequences folder.Try this as a test: Open up the Sequence Editor. Create a new musical sequence. It doesn't matter what channels you give it, and you don't have to make it actually flash lights or anything like that; just start a quick new sequence. Save it. When you save it, do NOT change the directory you're saving it to; just type in a name and click "Save".Then open up the Simple Show Builder, and click on "All Files". Is your new sequence listed?If it is, then the problem is probably that your real sequences are not stored in the same directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
