LEDEdit Pro 2026 FAQ

Which LED controllers does LEDEdit Pro 2026 support?
It exports LEDEdit .led SD-card packages for 19 controller families, including T-1000 / T-2000, K-1000 / K-1000C, K-8000 / T-8000, T-4000, the T1K/T2K/T4K/T8K-U series and DMX512 controllers, with 334 chip and IC types such as WS2811 and WS2812B.
Can I use my existing LEDEdit layouts?
Yes. Import a LEDEdit DXF layout, or draw one in the built-in LED Layout Creator with ports, serpentine or manual wiring and controller limits, and export it back to DXF.

MP4 (H.264 and H.265), AVI (raw and HuffYUV), MKV (FFV1), MOV (ProRes 4444) and XDAT, next to LEDEdit .led SD-card files, DMX address configs and time schedules.
What if a .led file does not play on my controller?
