jwilliams31 Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 I'm making the switch from Vixen2 to LOR. I have several sequences that I've built over the years in Vixen2. Is there a way to import these into LOR so I don't have to recreate the wheel? Or am I stuck recreating all of these sequences from scratch? Thanks.
Mr. P Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Is the Vixen software capable of converting to LOR? I know Xlights can import a Vixen file and then convert to a LOR file.
jwilliams31 Posted October 4, 2020 Author Posted October 4, 2020 Honestly, I didn't think of that. I don't think Vixen has an export to LOR, but I can try Xlights. Thanks for the tip.
PhilMassey Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Check if Xlghts can export to S5. Not sure it can.

Well if it can't, they could always go to LOR 4.4.6, convert the Vixen to Xlights, then Xlights to LOR, then after all their sequences have been converted to the lower{pre-S5} LOR version software suite, re-install S5 and import the LOR S4 Sequences into S5. Extra steps I know, but looks like the only way they could do it, is if Xlights doesn't support S5. But then why would Xlights need to support S5? If Xlights converts to a lower LOR software suite version format, shouldn't S5 be able to load that without any further conversion? I would think so, since S5 will convert lower level LOR versions into it's format, doesn't it? I've used S5 very little{just playing around with it here and there on another system}, but know it will convert my prior LOR sequences from my previous current version of LOR 4.4.6. Haven't used Vixen or Xlights, so have no idea how they actually convert the files, but if required, the above would be the only way to do this, going on from what I've read from the other replies on them here in this topic. Edited October 4, 2020 by Orville Made error, previous version should have been "current version". Corrected.
PhilMassey Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Vixen to Xlights to S4 to S5. That ought to go well...... 1

PhilMassey Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 It could actually cause the end of the universe.
