Re: HLS - Convert Vixen sequence into HLS - Collapse your 3 pixel channels into 1 RGB

I should have forced you to shut down after the RGB conversion to get rid of the unwanted channels - did that happen?

It did save/force shutdown after RGB conversion.
I watched the video again, did it for 75 channels (25RGB) did not convert them properly.
Did it again, this time I made sure each RGB channel had a unique name, IT WORKED! I had saved the conversion profile to try again on a different file.
Tried conversion profile on a different file, it did not convert them properly.
My channel names are NOT unique from Vixen,
1st pixel is G column R Top, G column G, G column B
2nd is G column R, G column G, G column B
3rd is G column R, G column G, G column B
..
..
25th pixel is G column R Bottom, G column G, G column B
When I load the conversion profile, it tells me Loaded 25 RGB Conversions, but it only converts the 1st & 25th pixel. It seems the conversion profile only works if the Red RGB column name is unique & new RGB name is unique. I had done the conversion profile for all of my pixels, and I just tried it again, it only converts from the original channels with unique names, duplicates do not convert.
First year using pixels and I used Vixen 2.1, so my naming system may not have been the best. Only thing I can think of doing is working on my Vixen profile and numbering each pixel so it has a unique name, then importing into HLS and doing RGB conversion.
I hope this makes sense.
