Don Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 In December of 2004 an article appeared in the newspaper (a lot of people read them back then) about Christmas light fanatics driving people crazy. It was then that my obsession with Light-O-Rama was born. My first home display was in 2005, and my first commercial job was in 2008. Since that time I've watch Light-O-Rama software from at least version 1.6.0, up to the latest and greatest S5 family of software. Now it's time for me to start learning S5. See, it might have been out for a while, but I've been putting off as long as possible on learning it. This changes today, and you are all welcome to come with me. I will be putting on a series of educational webinars detailing my journey into learning the new software. The purpose of these webinars will be two fold. 1) To educate myself on the new software. 2) To see what works in regards for a future paid version of these videos. The webinars that I will be doing now are at no cost for you to attend. The days and times of the webinars are going to be somewhat random, though I will work to find a schedule that works for most people. All webinars will be recorded, though you must be registered to get access to the recordings. REGISTER HERE: https://syncxmas.com/s5train Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibblejr Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) Don, I'm with you. Started kicking S5 around in January but set it aside. Now I am going to test it running my corona show. Its working with my current show props. I will not use it daily since I have sequencing tasks but at least it can run my show. I will gladly join your webinar. Registered!

Orville Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Thanks for doing this Don. S5 has been very daunting for me when I installed it some time back and went back to S4. Hoping your videos will help me possibly migrate over to S5, since it does have a lot more options for RGB criteria. Looking forward to your webinars. Registered.

I'm not fond of doing that either, but Don is being gracious enough to offer this at no cost to anyone that wants to learn S5. So that little check box to me is well worth it. I figure what Don {although I could be wrong} will use that check box for is to send out info from his Synchronized Christmas website of what he offers. Just my "best guess" and perhaps to see if one is serious enough to want to register and take this particular course he's offering by checking that box off. I'm looking forward to his webinar classes, because hopefully afterward, I'll feel more comfortable in moving on from S4 to S5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Blame Europe for that. https://gdpr-info.eu/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was specifically for those folks across the sea, but seems everything always somehow trickles down into our stuff here in the US. Why we put up with this stuff is beyond me. But thanks for the link and how the explanation shows us as to why it's there. Edited April 21, 2020 by Orville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, you might hit on a point that I am not aware of and we will learn something together. So no need to shrug. It's all good!! Just make sure to install 5.4.2 (latest) 2 of the best features are the flip horizontal and vertical paste options for pixel users. I use the heck out of these.

TexasLights Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 All of this stay home stuff had me confused, thought this was tomorrow. Will catch you live for the next one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orville Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Sorry was late getting in, had to download the software before I could access, thought I go to the computer early enough, but not knowing I would need to do that put me in late. First class was great, learned some good stuff. Before I move on to S5, I'm going to try and play around with some of the lessons being learned in the S4 PE, then if I can finally master that, then will I feel comfortable enough to possibly move up to the next version of the LOR Software {S5}. Thank you very much for these LOR S5 classes Don. I do believe they will be a great help to those of us considering moving to S5. I still prefer S4 at the moment, but after these classes, that might very well change my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibblejr Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Don - Great seminar. i forgot I couldn’t work on the same computer as watching the seminar so a quick change from computer to tv was I order. It cost me the first few mins of the preview build but I have plenty of previews on the S5 laptop. I was hoping to put some faces with names, not sure how it works though. Thanks again.
