xLights Shimmer Issue

[XiaoRZ]

Hello,

I would like to ask, in XLights, when I try to use shimmer effect, sometimes its ok, sometimes there are delays or lags between flickering. Are you experiencing similar problem, if so, is there a solution? Adding video: XLights shimmer issue

Thanks.

I would not trust what you see in the xLights preview. It sometimes doesn't keep up with the refresh rate, so the lag you see may not be what will really go to the lights.

To be sure, try exporting the preview video and watch that. You will find it under File->Export House Preview Video.

If that also looks bad, we can investigate further.

Thanks for help, after I exported the preview video and watched it in mp4 video, shimmer looked smoothly and the timing was perfect. Tomorrow I try it on the lights.
