Very fascinating how xlights has all these settings, but only any good if we know how to use them and what they are used for! Thanks Monday Minutes ..................................................And Ron 😆
Another Monday Minute Gem Ron, You keep picking up on the pitfalls that I come across when importing sequences including your essentials range to my smaller display. Thank you.
Thanks, Ron. I often have the opposite problem with my matrix. I use a projector set at 592 x 333 and many vendors supply graphics and videos for a much less dense P5 matrix. When I apply it to my matrix it looks very blocky and pixelated. If it's a graphic I can search the Internet for a suitable replacement but that's normally not possible if it's a video. I wish that sequence vendors would supply graphics and videos in at least 720p or 1080p resolution with their sequences.
Ron, thank you for this video. Im glad i came across it. I transitioned to xlights for 2022 season and was disappointed in both font and, mostly, graphics for my purchased sequences on my 16x50 mega as well as my pixel matrix. Wish i would have invested in a P5 or similar vs the pixel that i have. My resident is real estate challenged so chnging now is not a good financial (budgetary) decision. Thus, ur video is a welcomed training moment! Now, about those graphics ...
Great tip since I've had this issue in the past and it was a pain to fix. Will this only work with text effects? The problem I have run into is with picture effects that contain text in the picture.
Thank you Ron. Great work as usual. ❤. Just one question. How large is the topper if you use 32 string mega tree? I seem to never order the right one 😕
Thanks Ron... Some sequencers seem to include the MP4 video on top layer with a lights OFF in Layer 2 followed by the original effects in Layers 3+... First I didn't notice it and was like why won't my effect changes show up? I removed the video and pixel off layers and all was good.
I cannot wait to use this on my pixel matrix. Thank you for all of your very informative videos.
This is awesome! So glad to have found this to fix my trees!
Great Video Ron!!! Thanks.... Looking forward to using it this year... with some of your sequences.
This is another golden minute Ron. Great job.
Hi Ron, I had been following you on your "Monday Minutes" you Rock! just wan to say Thank you.
Keep it going please ....
Thank you!
This was great! I might try this out this year as I have expanded the vendors that I am using..
This is great. Could have used this four years ago. Lol. I am the crazy person who has 50 songs in his show

Thank you, kindly. It defintily is a lot to understand.
It looks like your trees have multiple effects at the same time. Never knew you could do that. Do you have a video on how to do that?
You can have multiple effects on any model in xLights. I have several effects tutorials you can check out on the channel.
@aaronclark7945 Right-click on the layer where the name of the prop is and and add another layer.

I'm glad it's helful. There are so many to get through.

I'll see what I can do. Most of my latest sequences this year use 1080.

I am hoping this makes my trees look much nicer. I have always felt underwhelmed on the video quality on my trees. Thanks Ron

The base ring is 8'. I use the ASAP two stage Monhouse assembly I built in 2016.

I'm not most sequencers.
@@xTremeSequences Heavens to Betsy I never meant to imply that! 😀
@@mrcreedslights I just taking the piss, mate.
How do i make a xLights file for a 38 × 100 tree fit a 48 × 100 tree?
The effects will scale so nothing is needed for your tree.
