Custom Animations/Effects Software

Hello–
I’m new to the community as well as to WLED. In fact I’ve not even received my hardware yet. But I’ve been researching various methods to custom control the LED strip around my Magic Mirror so that I am able to trigger various colors/effects depending on activities, requests and events.

Before coming upon WLED as an option, I was looking at a few addressable programmable controllers and reading up on the different software folks utilize to customize their effects and animations. I’m wondering if either

  1. There exists an app that allows one to create their own WLED-compatible effects/animations using video files, or
  2. There’s a way to convert the controller file exports from existing LED programming software (i.e., LED Edit, LED Player, RGB Player, LED Lighting Control) and converting them to a format WLED can use to create custom presets.

If anybody knows please let me know. Thank you so much.

No to both. wled uses customized effects from fastled, so you would need to study the built-in ones to determine how to do it.
