Color Effect only works on 50 string or less?

[wensteve]

Is this right? In PE you can only create props with 50 count strings or less?  Is there a work around for this?  I have 4 driveway arches with 80 count pixel strings and I was hoping to use the color effects in PE to sequence them.

Thanks in advance

You can create props as large and as long as your technology can handle them.  In your prop definition, make sure you have your # of Nodes set to 80.  Here's a screen capture from one of my props using 100 nodes:

@lkcubsrule is right!

Also pay attention to the "Max Circuit" setting and the "Carry Over" column. LOR Pixie controllers should always have all zeros in the "Carry over" column  -- which requires setting "Max Circuit" to a number greater than or equal to the number of pixels/nodes * 3. Other controllers have different requirements.

Ok. My nodes are are set to 80 so it must be my max circuit/carry over setting because when I click on control lights and press play in PE only 50 lights are working. I will check again tonight when I get home.
