Hey Jack. It's easy. In the layout tab add the Tree and place it anywhere.

Select your tree from the left box and then move it to the right with the ">" button. Close the window. You should not have the tree in a new row. With the display elements option you can add or delete elements from your sequences.

The are also videos in KZitem on how to do this.

Okay. First of all, thank you. This video of yours has been so helpful! I have made tremendous strides in getting my sequence completed. I am using the most recent version of xLights and I think you were using the previous release, so there are some differences. I have worked through most of them. The one I could not figure out is pressing "T" to mark the phrase when entering words to the music. Not sure if that went away or done another way. More importantly, my song has a number of 'in excess" phrases in it. The "Gloria" translates into phonemes but the translator doesn't even attempt "in excess". For phonemes I get AI (in) and nothing after that. I can probably create something using the faces under the Layout tab, but I see no way to add phonemes to a sequence and changing phonemes is a bit of a mystery. Any thoughts?
@trevilights

Hi There. Thanks for your kind word. For timming "t" mark, make sure you have the timming radio button (leftmost, next to the timing track name) selected. Then click on the wavelenght and press the 't' key. If that does not work, then goto File, Key Bindings and seach for a line named "TIMING_ADD" and make sure the key selected is a 't'. Otherwise, click over the "TIMING_ADD" line and you should see an option to enter the key you want to press to activate it. Here, in this menu, you can see all things you can do when you press certain key. Now, about the "in excess" words, I just tired a senteced like "I love you in excess" and it was able to brake it down and created the phonemes for it. Make sure your spelling is correct.

Also, I have a Mac and while I found the singing tree icon, I can't seem to import it into xLights. Any help on those? Oh and I would like 2 songs in my show. I have the one song in the show, but how do you get the econd on?

Hi There, thanks for your comment. The list you see is provided by xlights and probably maintained by the different providers. You need to search for your element in that list. If you do not find it, then try getting the model from HolidayCoro. They should be able to provide you with a model file that you then import. To get a second song, you will need to create a new sequence and save it. Then you will be creating a playlist with your two songs and finally adding that playlist to a schedule that will control your show start time end time and days to play. Sounds complicated but it easy. It all depends on how your are planning to run your show. You can run your show from your computer(not recommended), your controller (if capable) and a Raspberry PI o Beaglebone running FPP. In my website trevilights.com you can book some time with me and we can have a Zoom meeting to talk about your different options. Good Luck.

@@stephenlowry1023 Hi Stephen. I am well and I hope you are too. And yes, I am working on some new videos but have not had the time to finish them. I have had the the issue like yours before. I think is a software issue. Unfortunately the only way to get it foxed was by doing a Factory Reset. Before doing so check the following. In the Port Configuration Page make sure the Port Mode dropdown is set to "Main board Only". Seems like if you play around with this setting it thinks you have and expansion board and messes up the settings. If this does not solve the problem then do a Factory Default reset. NOTE: this will delete everything on your controller, even the network setting, which will make it hard to connect back to the controller again, So take this into account. To do a factory reset just disconnect the controller for a few second and then hold down the 'Select' button while you apply power to the controller. After a few seconds the OLED display should say "Resetting Controller". All done. I had to do this once. Since then, I do not mess with the Expansion board menu. I do not have any expansion boards anyway. Good luck.

Very informative, and will presented. You must go through keyboards like crazy though. You are very rough on it... I found myself wincing every time you clicked on something.

Thanks Jason. Sorry for the noisy keyboard😄. I was using my computers mic and it picks sounds very well as my computer vibrates. I am using a lavalier mic now. Thanks for watching.

Every time I make timing marks and double click between them to insert lyrics it just starts the music for the time between the timing marks. What am I doing wrong?

Hey Jack, What is exactly the issue you are having? When you click on between the two markers do you get the window to enter the lyrics? if not, try this... In the File menu, select Preferences, Effect Grid Tab and make sure the option "Double Click Mode" is set to "Edit Text", click OK to Save.

Got my tree all wired up after watching this video. Then just when I went to add, the double click to add phrase is not working. Looks like xlights changed how lyrics are added. Really enjoy your videos, but lost as hell. The new add lyrics is above me.

Quick question! So when I bring this in to an existing sequence and render, the whole sequence changes. Looks horrible! Is there a quick fix? All is good with porta and visualize. Has something to do with blending I think?
