dylan.paiva started the topic Exporting Timecode
Hello everyone, I am back! I have a show that I am shooting on the third. I started from scratch as I normally do by importing songs and mapping out rounds accordingly. I have racks mapped out and everything set, but I need to get everything set with the timecode before I export the firing system script. That’s the issue I’m having is…Read More

Barehm started the topic Moving all songs and events at the same time
I realized I needed to inject a minute of audio at the beginning of my show this year and ran into an issue I wanted to check on. The ability to drag around songs with events has been great in the past as I wanted to rearrange parts of the show. However, This is the first time I’ve just wanted to shift everything back. I selected all the songs…Read More

Hi DGHofstee, the Lite version of Finale 3D is limited to manual inventory management and doesn’t support importing effects/inventory from a file. Here’s a screenshot from the full feature comparison.

Hello all! My name is Jonathan and I am located in South Western PA. I’m the designated “fireworks” guy at my family gatherings and events. Most of what I set off is donated by others so I’m going to be making a lot of 1.4 effects.
Doing the trial of Lite right now to see if it covers my needs. This year is the first time using a firing system…Read More

Is there a way on the LITE version to import effects? I followed the video tutorial, but do not have the option. Is it only available in upper licenses?

Thanks NEC

NEC replied to the topic Edit Show from Another Machine
Easiest way to deal with this is to save the show file and any .fdb files you may have created to something like Drop Box, Google Drive, One Drive etc. that you have access to. You can edit on either machine and when you open on the other you’ll be sync’d. I’d also HIGHLY recommend you save at least one local copy after major edits…just in case

I Purchased the Extra Machine License today. What’s the process of working on a show from two different locations, do I need to e-mail myself a copy of the file each time I save it and then save that to the other machine? I’m on the “Extra” machine right now, and I can’t see the show that I last created on the Primary machine.

EhrlichFire started the topic Editing part numbers after the fact
Hello Finale,
In a feeble attempt to standardize part numbers for MY Effects, I realized that after I scripted the show, I could not sort my labels by manufacturer. The part numbers I devised do not have a manufacturer identifier. I tried to edit the PN by clicking the PN box, but 1) that appears to take the effect out of My Effects, and 2) it…Read More

Yes, Finale 3D Hobbyist and Pro can generate and add all common frame rates of SMPTE timecode to soundtracks.
For an overview of producing a show using Cobra and SMPTE, check out this post:

TheFlyingPyro replied to the topic Audio Locking and Music Export errors…
Thank you Drew! Great info. When you say timecode, I assume you also mean SMPTE? Trying to wrap my head around using SMPTE in combination with the audiobox if all of this avoidable using timecode/smpte. When I was using Cobra Show Creator, I used smpte.
I went through the manual and couldn’t find the info re: sound/music/exporting details,…Read More
