    Hi everyone,

     

    I am working on a digital (vertical) letter sequence using 20mm single shots.
    In Finale 3D, the matrix for each letter typically requires 5 positions. However, I have a specific question regarding the physical rack layout on the ground.

     

    For those who have experience with this, what is the best workflow to transition from the 2D digital letter effect in the script to the actual physical setup on the field?

     

    I’ve searched the forum but couldn’t find a detailed guide on the physical hardware organization for this specific ‘cadence-based’ writing. Any advice or links would be greatly appreciated!

     

    For additional context, here is the physical setup I am planning to use to achieve maximum legibility at a 70-meter viewing distance with 20mm comets (55m altitude):

     

    X-Axis (Width): 1.50metters spacing between the 5 positions to achieve a letter an 3 m between each letters.

     

    Does this spacing seem optimal or would you recommend a different ratio for 20mm effects?

     

    Thanks, and have a good day.
