first glitches with the preview

Hi guys, well revised, like every year, we are here to mess up our life with this beautiful hobby. This year I wanted to upgrade to S5, but as soon as I have imported the first sequence from S4, I immediately start having the first problems with the preview. I had already drawn the preview last year, so I imported it, assigned it to the sequence imported from S4, but in the preview window, when the sequence scrolls after sending it to replay, everything remains black, indeed , I don't even see the light design I did through the preview design, someone lend me a hand please, thanks in advance.

The channels assigned to props in your preview must match the channels used in your S4 sequences.

After converting your sequence, do the channels in the sequence grid have an "@" sign in front of them? If they do, then they have been archived and will not control lights. More about archived props here:

If there are a lot of archived props/channels, modify the preview to better match your S4 sequence, then try upgrading the sequence again.

Or create a new preview that matches your S4 channel configuration.  After the sequence imports properly with that "S4 matching" preview, then assign a different preview that is your actual S5 intended channel layout.

I do something similar for singing face sequences from JR.  I have a preview that is called "Four faces" that matches the channel layout that JR uses.  After importing his sequence, I can change to another preview with my channel assignments or copy JR's sequencing and paste in my full sequence.
