How To Make Other People's xLights Sequences Look Great On Less Dense Mega Trees and Matrices

[@andreholland4429]

I cannot wait to use this on my pixel matrix. Thank you for all of your very informative videos.

This is another golden minute Ron. Great job.

[@WiseFerryLights]

Great Video Ron!!! Thanks.... Looking forward to using it this year... with some of your sequences.

[@diyhometheaterguy]

This is awesome! So glad to have found this to fix my trees!

[@miguelalopez5685]

Hi Ron, I had been following you on your "Monday Minutes" you Rock! just wan to say Thank you. Keep it going please ....

[@xTremeSequences]

Thank you!

[@christopherheuerman7108]

This is great. Could have used this four years ago. Lol. I am the crazy person who has 50 songs in his show

[@Benchiesgoboom]

This was great! I might try this out this year as I have expanded the vendors that I am using..

[@stevevanrusselt4739]

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.

[@xTremeSequences]

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

[@dtvking]

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 😆

[@xTremeSequences]

Thank you, kindly. It defintily is a lot to understand.

[@SamusAran1969]

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

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 ...

[@thecrumeister365]

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.

[@witchypoo6937]

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 😕

[@xTremeSequences]

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

[@Chucka1463]

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.

[@xTremeSequences]

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

[@aaronclark7945]

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?

[@xTremeSequences]

You can have multiple effects on any model in xLights. I have several effects tutorials you can check out on the channel.

[@xTremeSequences]

@aaronclark7945 Right-click on the layer where the name of the prop is and and add another layer.

[@mrcreedslights]

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.

[@xTremeSequences]

I'm not most sequencers.

[@mrcreedslights]

@@xTremeSequences Heavens to Betsy I never meant to imply that! 😀

[@xTremeSequences]

@@mrcreedslights I just taking the piss, mate.

[@alexellis2231]

How do i make a xLights file for a 38 × 100 tree fit a 48 × 100 tree?

[@xTremeSequences]

The effects will scale so nothing is needed for your tree.
