Amie Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I have been learning how to use SS in order to create complicated sequences. Thanks to Brian, I feel like I am finally getting some good results. I have split up my entire display into groups or sections and created a Visualization file for each group of features. Then I upload the different groups of features into the SuperStar Sequencer and create an entire sequence for each group of features. Once completed, I export the Sequence for each group and then merge them all together into one big sequence in the Sequence Editor. In doing this, I have noticed a pattern...SuperStar tends to ignore the very first feature in every group. So, for instance, I uploaded a Visualization file that contained 16 chaser trees. The very first beat that the chaser trees were 'turned on', the left-hand chaser tree was turned on. After that, for the entire length of the sequence, only 15 chaser trees are ever referenced in SS. I tested this theory by uploading a visualization file that only contained 4 features. Again, after creating a sequence in SuperStar, the farthest-left feature was only referenced on the very first beat of the song. After that, it was never referenced again. In order to solve this issue, I added a 'fake' feature on the far-left of the existing 4 features in the visualization file. I uploaded and ran the SuperStar Sequencer again, creating a new sequence with the 5 features. This time, the 4 main features were put into the automatic sequence and the new 'fake' feature was ignored. I tested this again and again and the feature on the far-left of the visualization file is always ignored. So in order to fix this, I have to create a 'dummy-feature', so the real featrures are used when creating the sequence. I hope this makes sense, it is pretty late at night. I have uploaded a visualization file that only contain 4 features of a yard outline. If you download this file and upload it into SS, try to generate a sequence using any Audio file. You should see that the extra feature on the left will not get placed into the sequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianBruderer Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 It sounds like a bug. I tried to recreate the bug by making a quick visualization and then tested movement of "right same row" and "left same row." I tried several themes and I could not recreate the bug. Please email your visualization file to brian@superstarlights.com and tell me what movement you are using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
