Deciding on What to order First Time

[SuperMatt]

Bruce, I haven't done this yet, so I'm just taking the info from what I've read in the manuals and seen on Youtube videos.

 

It sounds like the blink-off you want to at the beginning and the end is what LOR calls an Animation Sequence.  You can create it by clicking File > New > New Animation Sequence.  From there, you just go about turning your lights on and off, but you don't have to worry about matching them up to music.  

 

This Youtube video shows how to create a Chase animation. I'm sure you could take the general concepts and modify them for your blink off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtwJltwRysM

 

Once I saved an animation, it was available for me to put in the show with the "Simple Show Builder".  Of course, you can make your show even more complex and use the full-on Show editor. There are a whole series of videos on that tool. As an example, this video shows detailed info on Start Up and Shut down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hase385FAqQ
