I think this was mentioned once before, figured I’d move it to the front of the line.

3DCONNEXTION Spacemouse support would be really nice. I already use it (Spacemouse PRO) for CAD work and it’s a huge time save moving around in space and, in the case of the PRO, definable shortcut buttons for hot-keys and macros. Unfortunately I’m not a…Read More

Hi PyroBunny,

After more review and discussion, it turns out this is a complex behavior to adjust. It’s on our list of things to improve when we can but I don’t currently have an ETA for you.

To explain what’s happening a little better, when you group effects that have a duration value of 0, the visual indicator in the timeline gets…Read More

Any ETA for when this bug will be fixed?

Hi The Novice Pyro, this feature already exists! It’s called Nudge and uses the exact keyboard shortcuts you mentioned, Ctrl + Shift + Arrow Keys. What’s more, the nudge increment is adjustable by going to Show > Show settings > Set timeline nudge delta. The default nudge increment is your timeline snap-to resolution, but it…

I typically use .10 for PFT on all single shots and slices.…Read More

Got ir, thanks.

Great question. I really don’t like having to give this answer but the truth at this moment is that it’s hit or miss.

Having supplier catalogs contain accurate information and high-quality simulations is extremely important to us. When it comes American consumer and Pro 1.4G fireworks, not all of the catalogs meet a high standard. Improving…Read More

Thank you for the detailed response, and it makes perfect sense.

I do have another question….

How accurate are the timings of effects from the manufacturers catalogs in Finale? prefire, lift time, duration etc…

Thanks

Hi PyroExec, welcome to the Finale 3D community! Thanks for posting and for including the screenshot, that gives us a lot of useful information and makes it much easier to understand what you’re seeing on your end.

To understand the difference you’re seeing, the first thing to know is that the timeline duration bars take into account not only…Read More

The Firelinx script file format is a tab delimited text file with a CSV file extension. Excel simply isn’t recognizing the tabs as delimiters and erroneously displaying all the data in a single column. If you open the script file in Notepad, you’ll see the tab characters represented as white space between each column/field.

Drew I sent another email about the script not looking right. I attached the files to that email. Just and FYI.  Thank You

Thanks Drew. Totally overlooked the position descriptions. Very simple fix.

Thank You!
