Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I have noticed that the timing on the animation is a little slow on quick transitions. Since I have never used the actual LOR set up, yet, is the actual show's timing better than the animation? Is the animation just a rough estimate? Thanks!

Thanks!From my understanding and from what I have read, the delay of the animation is the slow response from the computer and shouldn't have an effect on the actual light show. If the editor is in time with the music as you sequenced it, then your lights should be in time as well.Folks? I am I on the right track here?Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 And this information has been added to the LOR FAQ.Why does the animation view look 'jerky'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not at the computer all the time!)To that end: Use your best judgement as to where it goes. If I think it needs to move, I'll start a discussion about it, and ask others what they think!
