Our system automatically saves your layout, allowing you to easily return and add more decorations whenever you’d like. It also integrates seamlessly with the controllers you’ve previously purchased from EZRGB. If there are available ports on your current setup, the system will prioritize using them first and will reprogram your existing controller to accommodate the new additions to your show.

EZSequence Tips and Guides

As EZSequence continues to evolve, certain props will receive additional effects and enhancements over time. This ongoing development ensures that our users can access a growing library of dynamic and visually engaging effects. Whether it’s new lighting patterns, intricate motion designs, or seasonal-themed displays, these improvements are designed to maximize the creative potential of each prop. By continuously updating and expanding our effects library, EZSequence aims to provide an ever-expanding range of options, keeping your displays fresh, innovative, and in sync with the latest trends in animated lighting.

Put “[I:Skip]” in the description field of the prop to be skipped.

Put “[I:Primary]” in the description field of the prop or props to sing the lead parts.

Usually EZSequence gets it right, but some people put non-star items as their tree toppers, or smaller stars. Put “[S:Mega][T:Star]” in the description field of the star on the tree.

In the layout tab, get your display centered, and then right click to set the default viewpoint.

With our system you do not receive the sequence files instead you receive the show player file known as a .fseq.  Then all you have to do is just upload and enjoy.

No worries, when we makes changes to the system it redoes yours automatically.
