effreek started the topic GlowFireworks.com History + usage for VDL creation
Just curious on the glowfireworks consumer visualization tech and how it came about and if there was any link to current software like finale3d.
Seems like there is already a consumer effects database somewhere that would benefit everyone if it could easily be converted to finale3d VDL.
Thoughts, comments?
I already have a semi manual…Read More

Excellent, that Ace Pyro video is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Drew!

Hey Pyro_326840000, welcome to the Finale 3D forum!
In Finale 3D, you can create a StarFire script that is either a “Standard” (fully automatic) script, or a “Semi-Automatic” (SequenceFire) script, not a script that does both at the same time.
When creating a fully automatic script, the Track column in the script window should remain blank.…Read More

Does anyone here have experience scripting for the StarFire system and how I should use the “Track” functionality in Finale to combine sequences? Does every cue need a track value? Or just the scripted sequences I want to step through?

Thank you Drew, that will be used in the future.

Good catch! Another solution is to select the four “drivers” on each wheel and press Ctrl+H to chain them together. Once the drivers on a wheel are chained, Finale 3D will only assign them a single Pin/E-match, which most likely mirrors the construction of the wheels in real life.

Pyro_100320000 replied to the topic Script and e-match descrepancy
Found the issue. I am using spinning wheels in my show. The code for my wheels is not in the inventories so I used one from a list and the chosen one requires an e-match for all four sections of the wheels. That is three extra e-match per wheel, 9 wheels gives 27 extra e-match. I changed the product code to one that requires just one e-match and…Read More

Max. e-match per setting is set to 1. Just to see the number of labels it wanted to print, 725 or 752, Finale does want to give me 752 labels. I have gone line by line comparing my Excel script and it matched perfectly with the Finale script. So I really do not know what to do. This is a show for our FW company’s social on the 26th. I really need…Read More

Oh wow now I see it. Not sure how I missed that, I guess was so focused on finding a button that I overlooked it lol. Thanks.

DrewFinale replied to the topic How to add up prices of all product used in show.
In Finale 3D Hobbyist and Pro, if you have prices populated for your products in the Price column of the effects window, then the price total for your show is displayed in the lower right corner of the main design/simulation window, just above the right end of the timeline.
Alternatively, you can tabulate cost instead by populating the Cost…Read More

DrewFinale replied to the topic Script and e-match descrepancy
If you addressed your show with the max. e-matches per pin setting set to greater than one, you may have some pins with multiple e-matches, which would explain the e-match count being higher than the pin count.
The File > Reports > Wiring Script report makes it easy to see when there are multiple e-matches on the same line by highlighting the…Read More

My show script has 725 ques. When I address the show it has 752 e-matches needed. Why the difference?

I’m sure there is a simple way to do this but I have been unable to find one in the software documentation. How do I get the software to tell me how much all the stuff I’ve currently got in a particular show will cost without adding it all up manually?

Well, the issue persists, and I just tried to do the .mp3 to .wav back to .mp3 and the glitch was still there. I then tried to import the .wav instead and it failed to import the audio, just a blank track so I guess I’m stuck with the glitch for this show. It’s really frustrating that such an expensive and unique pie… - Load More Posts
