Where can I find the update that allows us to import a drone script into Finale 3D?

 

Also, are we able to  manipulate the drone positions/images? Or is this strictly just for importing pre-scripted flights?

The version of Finale that supports drone shows will be available in beta in the first half of June (within about two weeks from now).  We expect it to be in the full release before the end of the month.

 

The features include the ability to slide the drone show around on the ground to reposition the whole show, but not the ability to manipulate/alter the drone show itself.  We expect users to design drone shows using drone show software, and then import the designed shows into Finale to choreograph hybrid fireworks displays along with them and to create videos of the combined shows.  We are optimizing Finale’s features to support a workflow in which users can iteratively edit or modify their drone shows in the drone show software, export, and reimport into Finale to update the drone show portion of a hybrid show being scripted in Finale.

 

We worked with Verge Aero to come up with an interchange format for drone show software to export that Finale could import.  Verge Aero was in the news recently for winning a Gold Buzzer award on America’s Got Talent Extreme.  We actually used that AGT show as a test case for working out the details of the file format.

 

(For those who are seeing this post as the first mention of drones for Finale, we posted a video to our Instagram account (finale_3d) over the weekend, which teased the upcoming feature.
