Understanding Master View and Render Order

The xLights development team has done an amazing job of creating a relatively simple process for importing sequences.   Even so, it is important to have a basic understanding of how XLights renders a sequence  to fully leverage this power and get the results you are expecting. 

Perhaps the most important thing know about the rendering process is that the order of the Master View controls how the sequence will look on your display.  It does not matter how many other views you may have or created or what one is active, the Master View is the only one that matters for rendering.

So now that we know the Master View is in control the next step is to understand why the order of the Master View is important and what effect its order has on how a sequence is rendered.  That is easier covered in the short tutorial video below.
