Matrix Animator

Another common gotcha if you draw the matrix too small for the amount of pixels you have.
If the pixels are overlapping in the drawn LSP can't map to the proper location of the individual pixel.

Sounds like they have got you in good shape from the answers, the color in the matrix animator can be changed in the same manner as any other effect in LSP. And above the color is the different effects you can apply to that pixel.
For my porcupine balls I custom drew a "matrix" and can set the individual pixels to twinkle and any color I want so I have them changing color at each point along their "chase".
It would be nice if you could click and drag in there, maybe next version!

Hi Guys
Thanks for the suggestions, I am aware of how to change the color it just refuses to change but then alas you open the software and it will suddenly work. I have had so many problems with this software that it is far from funny,it alone basically cruelled any chance of running our show last year.
At the moment it will be a miracle if this years show is up and running due to the constant problems I am having with light show pro.
We did have a list of problems written out but we seem to have lost it. I am at a loss as to why there are so many problems with this paid for software, I asked for help from LSP last year but got none. I dont like coming on here and complaining but we spent over 2k last year on hardware only to be at the mercy of the software.
All I can do is ask you good people for help as problems occur and hope for a solution. Like the error I have attached to this message, it occurs when I try to insert a saved animation into the matrix animator. I get this message and a large red cross in the animator. Sometimes it will close the entire program.
Thanks for your help

This error is caused because you are trying to insert an animation that you created using another grid and now you are trying to insert this into a grid that doesnt match.
When asaving and reusing animations then you must use the correct animation file for the appropriate grid, so if you drew the animation using a grid of 10 x 10 and then tried to use that animation in a grid 20 x 20 then it will give this error because the animation file has missing information
If you created a animation at 20 x 20 and then used this for a 10 x 10 grid then this will work

Thanks Eddy I did come across that when I started out by trial and error not sure what was causing the problem but it sorted itself out, I have much bigger problems as I posted in the lights forum, starting to wonder if all this stress is worth it
