Where can I find help on how to use the software

[Sloanhaus]

I am wanting something that I can watch or read on how to use Vixen. Any help would be great

It should be pretty much like Vixen 1.x. I learned how to use it by downloading somebody elses sequence (with just a few channels) and playing with that.

Any thoughts

For Vixen there is no manual yet.
Install it and dive in.
Create a standard sequence.
Add a plugin (Adjustable Preview), set it up by adding pixles in the preview window relating to channels.
Add any music.
Start playing.

When stumped, read the Vixen forms because most of the basic questions have already been answered there. Take the time to wander the forms.

Download Vixen 1.11 it has a help file with it that has the basics to get you started that is what I used as a guide.

I started using Vixen 1.1 last year and found it to be extremely easy to use, and within an hour you should be able to create a simple sequence.

Just select the right plugin for your hardware, or use the preview option & draw your own lights on your house, and your away. You dont even need hardware at this stage, so just use the preview to see what it should look like.

Edit: Oh and download some of the other peoples sequences so you can see what the others do in regards to sequencing etc.
