Importing Sequences in 6.4.0

I'd like to know if anyone has solved this problem.  There seems to be no "offset" function in the latest software edition for Congo.  In older versions I would choose the sequence I wanted to import and offset the data by 200 because I had already used the preset numbers in the new show. Thus the old Q5 would become Q205.

This function seems to be absent in 6.4.0.  My work around this morning was to build another sequence in the old show with new (unused) preset numbers and then import the sequence.  OK but not as clean as before.

  • I attempting to copy from the preset list in one show to an empty sequence in the show in memory and renumber so as part of the process.  I can find no opportunity to renumber my presets.  The only options are the ones listed above.

    I have a work around but it is tedious if I have a lot of presets to import.

  • Hey Mark,

    Try selecting the presets you want and dragging them to the presets tree. In the advanced tab there you can renumber them and then just insert them straight into your new sequence. Should be quicker than a tedious way hopefully

    Cheers

  • ..In fact Mark i just tried this .

    Selected a range of presets in the import from organizer. Dragged them to the presets tree of the current play. In the advance tab of that pop-up i renumbered them. Then selected the range in one go and dropped them onto (in my case sequence 2 and they are sitting there fine by the looks of it

    Worth a go i'd say

    Cheers

  • You should either drop the presets in the Presets node (as described by Andy) or drop the sequence steps with the desired presets into an empty sequence (this eliminates one extra step).

    If you are dropping presets into a sequence, it might explain why you don't see the rename option.

  • Both of these methods work.  Thanks for the help.
