Switching from SS to PE for CCR's Question

[chowell]

So last year I started using Pixel Editor.  Up to then I was using SuperStar for my CCR arches and matrix.  I am currently running version 4.3.24.  I have converted my 12 ribbon CCR matrix to a ribbon tree this year.  I would like to start programming it with Pixel Editor if possible instead of SS.  Is it as simple as creating the pixel tree in the PE preview, assigning the proper channels, and programming?  I am not looking to transfer any files from previous sequences to the new tree in pixel editor.  I am starting fresh with programming this year since it is a new prop.  If so, I have always had my 12 ribbon matrix in the sequence editor and after exporting the file from SS would copy and paste accordingly.  Should I go into my sequence editor and delete the matrix channels from the channel configuration since It will be in the pixel editor instead?  Also, If I have programmed my three CCR arches with SS for three songs, and Pixel Editor for three different songs (all 6 songs in the show), would that work as long as the three songs done with pixel editor do not have any programming done in the sequence editor?

Just about, except for the next part.

Yes, this needs to be done. The fastest way is to do this from PE: Sequence > Migration Tools > Remove prop channel data from Sequence Editor.

That should work ok as long as there is no sequencing whatsoever in the Pixel Editor for those 3 songs. And more technically,  for sequence "ssarches.lms", there cannot be a "ssarches.lms.pe.lid" file.

Thank you Matt.  I will try these things.  I'm excited for version 5 to go live and consolidate to one program for all of this.
