Joe M Posted November 7 Posted November 7 I have several WOW sequences that I have used in the past. This year- I am trying to add two v2 LOR singing faces. I do not know how to convert the WOW singing faces to the LOR faces. I was told on the Facebook forum to “Match” but have no idea how to do that or what it even means. I am looking for a bit of direction- point me to the right area and I will go from there.
Jimehc Posted November 7 Posted November 7 (edited) You have to add the LOR Faces to Your Preview, first.... then you can either Copy and Paste the effects from WoW-Trees to the LOR-Trees.. Or you can Match (Map) the new LOR Tree(s) effects to the existing WoWlights Trees effects.. Edited November 7 by Jimehc
Joe M Posted November 8 Author Posted November 8 Thank you Jimenc. I added the props and set them up with the appropriate box (I know that is not the right name to call it)- however, when I tried to copy and paste- instead of one line- it pasted to all. For example- I selected the row for the outline of the WOW tree. Clicked “r” to get the complete row. But when I then went to the LOR tree outline row- and hit control v, it pasted to an entire section of rows. I know I am close—-what am I doing wrong? I could not figure out how to map the new LOR trees to the WOW effects. How do I do that? Maybe that would be easier? I really appreciate your help (and patience!).
Jimehc Posted November 8 Posted November 8 Expand the wowlights tree rows (Channel level) and copy just the first Channel Row and paste into LOR Tree Effect

Jimehc Posted November 8 Posted November 8 (edited) Although, I have figure out that if you Change the WoWlight Tree to Dumb RGB, you can Map it to the LOR trees... I am on 6.3.6, and what sucks is with Smart RGB it automatically adds a Motion Effect Row and still keeps the Channel Level Sequencing... Oh by the way I am Guy on Facebook....

Joe M Posted November 11 Author Posted November 11 OK- I am beyond frustrated! For some reason, I cannot copy these correctly. So- I moved to a new sequence that already includes the LOR faces. I assign a unit ID and it should work- but it doesn't. So, seeing if all my other props are working- now some do, some don't. And, any change I make changes all sequences----so, I have messed up everything. Here is my new question- I have last year's SD card. I am worried, however, that if I connect to it and import those to try and work with- they will pick up all the messes I have made to these previews. Do you know- can I delete all of these messed up sequences - wipe the slate- and start over with those on the SD card? Almost like I am starting as a new user? If I can do that do you know how I go about it? Thanks for your help and patience- I am about to throw the towel in this year---
Jimehc Posted November 11 Posted November 11 (edited) IF and that is a BIG IF, the Sequences were included on the SD-Card... The Show Files usually written to SD Card are of no help to ya... But If you delete Existing (Messed Up) Preview from Preview Tab and then open a sequence from LAST YEAR (Untouched this year) - it will import Last Years Preview that the sequence was using at that time...... Then open Messed Up Sequences from this year - and choose to revert back to the Older Preview Version.... The Main Problem between LOR and WoW - is LOR uses Dumb Sequencing for Faces and Smart Motion Effect Rows.... The Updated WoW Sequences, ($25 Upgrade Fee) would match better because of the use of Smart Motion Effect Rows... I have been messing with Wow Tree Issue(s), since you and others before you posted on FB, to find I reasonable way for the two to play nice with each other, But it has been a process (which I did Figure out) But not easy to explain as the Mouths are setup different too.. Although No Problem if you were using WoW Trees Edited November 11 by Jimehc
Joe M Posted November 12 Author Posted November 12 Thanks for your response. I was able to open an "old" preview to avoid many of the things I had messed up- great idea- and thank you. Newest challenge- Back to the LOR faces. The sequence I used includes the singing LOR faces. I have 2- however, they were both singing together. I looked further- and they were both set to the default ID of the box (30). I changed renamed one to a new ID of 34- and thought I set it up properly. It shows as such- and even shows on the preview- but doesn't work in reality. I have no idea how to fix that. I also seemed to have lost some items in the preview from before. I had 3 pixel trees (smaller, 100 string) as well as a larger tree (16 strands of lights (6' tall) and I cannot find them in the sequence. I went to add them using the ID's they had before- and I get a conflict message that they are already being used by the original prop that I cannot find! Man- I have created a mess! Any help- and you will be a hero in my household- my wife is getting tired of me working on this and complaining!
