MSB Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I'm running S5 v5.5.6 Pro. I have 46 Previews created and they reside in the \LOR\ImportExport folder along with 59 Prop files that I created for this year's show. I was working on the sequencing yesterday morning and all was good. I opened up the sequencer a few minutes ago and the sequence I was working on yesterday and I got a warning the preview could not be found and it created a new preview from Sequence I opened. I opened the preview window and sure enough all of the previews that I created from all of our stages, etc. are not listed. What the heck is going on? I'm really nervous now!

PhilMassey Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 The previews you have in the import/export folder, are exported files, not the working Preview. The actual previews are kept in \commondata\LORPreviews.xml. S5 keeps a backup .BAK file which may help you out. I also make my own backups of the file periodically.

MSB Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 I saw the backup but that didn't help. In fact, it's a much smaller file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is what do you need 46 previews on one show? Unless you are doing something really odd, you likely only need one for this year's Christmas show. You may have a couple revisions, but generally only one will be used for all sequences each year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darn, I thought I had a lot until Phil helped me out. I had bunches but not that many on my screen at once. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSB Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 Our show is over a mile long and we have 12 stages for musical sequencing plus 12 more animated areas plus amimates panels. Adds up fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
