Sean,
THANKS much for the tutorials. Very clear and I now see how the process works. Hoping to get some hardware soon to see what a lit light looks like!

I am aware that the first tutorial now gives this error message.
"This content is currently unavailable. Please contact the content owner for more information."
Jing offered to put the swf's on their website for free. Fine print was only for 2gb of bandwidth. Well, we reached that 2gb in about one day. Tutorials 2-6 are on meighan.net where i have 1 terra byte of bandwidth per month. I am going to re-record tutorial 1 and move it to meighan.net and then #1 it will come back on line.
sorry for the inconvenience.
sean

I have yet to dive into what you are doing here, but I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to do all this.
It is people like you that make this blinky flashy community great.
My hat's off to you. <res.

Your tutorials are great. Is it possible to do a tutorial from the point of downloading a LOR sequence or clipboard file and installing it in LOR S2 or S3? Could it show the file in the sequencer and what it looks like on screen? Do you download it then change the file extension or whatever. How does it get in the LOR software or the Vixen. Thank you for all your work.

It is on my to do list. The issue is i have never used any sequencers, LSP, Vixen or LOR. I may need someone to make this tutorial for me. Or wait for me to figure it out.

3 new tutorials. These will show how to get a Nutcracker animation into Vixen. They will also show how to install Emmanuel's 3 addins into Vixen.
If you are using Nutcracker and Vixen, i believe you must get these.

Hi Sean
I have watched the tutorials on how to export your LOR lms file and I have exported it and I now have the xml file saved on my desktop, but what I cant seem to figure out is how to get it from that file into my LOR sequence. when I try to import the file it wont read the xml file or see the file. What is the next step from here? Or did I miss something somewhere?
Thanks
Julie

You save the lms file under lightorama/ sequences directory. You when you just open a sequence you will see your newly created nutcracker sequence in the list.
So in summary
Create an effect
Left click to create a lms file
Right click to save the lms into light-o-Rama/sequences directory
Open a sequence in lor and you will see it
-
Thanks Sean
I will try that and see how it works in the a.m.!
Thanks again!

Has anyone created a good index into all the tutorials. I need to go back and watch a couple of specific ones, especially about using the tools available for audacity and creating timing marks. I will find it but thought I would ask and I know it would help a lot of folks out. Also the tutorials that do have somewhat of a description do not have a fully qualified date that includes the year on them and I am only interested in the ones starting sometime this past summer. I do not need to go back thru the 2012 tutorials.
-
Find them on Vimeo under Sean's name. The audacity video is half way through one and it is written in the notes for the tutorial.

Thanks
