Curtis B replied to the topic Finale 3D Feature Requests
Here are some suggestions that I’ve come across while working in Finale (Apologies if some have already been named):
– Utilization of “Fullscreen” with Lite so the script bar is removed.
– I’m sure this verbiage will become utilized, but when a shell has “Falling Leaves” in it, make the break either silent or quiet… secondary, add the term…Read More

Curtis B started the topic Soft Crackle in Roman Candles
It may just be me late at night, but I’m trying to figure out how to add a pearl that will emit a very sparse delayed crackle along with the other color pearls that are in there… I’ve got 0.25″ 40.00s 0.20 PFT 280 Shot Red Green Yellow Candle but it also contains soft almost whisper like crackle pearls in the candle as well.

Hello everyone!
I have made a Discord for Finale users if you need help creating VDLs, help with various Finale aspects, or if you just want to talk shop.
Come on over to https://discord.gg/DgwvGwbG and see what the fun is all about! Note: this is NOT an “official” server, but rather meant to take some load off of Drew so he can work on…Read More

Curtis B replied to the topic Importing Audio Issue
Hey Drew, thanks!
The popping was ONLY with the mp3 file, not the WAV file (although it does sometimes make a “pop” sound when I hit play).
I was using the menu item, but I’m not sure why it wasn’t working. Now that I have the music file loaded and it is playing properly, no need to delete.
I could see if I can recreate the issue if…Read More

Curtis B started the topic Importing Audio Issue
I have created a .WAV file in Audacity and for some reason, Finale 3D doesn’t seem to want to import it into the timeline. I was also having trouble deleting the song to fix the “popping” issue but it wasn’t deleting. I JUST bought Lite and am wondering if I should uninstall and reinstall or should that even be a factor?
Just trying to figure…Read More

Curtis B started the topic RA142005 – Red Tip and White Strobe Tail with White Strobe Mine
There’s the video for reference…
I’ve got the VDL pretty close but am running into an issue where it is treating the “white strobing willow tail” as a parent particle for the “red tip”

Make the cake the same way you would any other – arrange the shots of the cake on the timeline with the desired timing and angles > select the shots > go to the Effects menu > Combine as cake. If Finale 3D can’t simulate the cake using a standard firing pattern, it will automatically switch to the exact syntax. The exa…

Next question then as it relates to what we are talking about:
If I want to make 2 parts of a full cake have varying degrees, how would I go about doing this? Say Rows 1,3,5 are a 60 degree cake and rows 2,4,6 are a 40 degree cake… as in Rows 1,3,5 have degrees from -30 to 30 and 2,4,6 have degrees from -20 to 20.

If we have language like this { (30a86/15a81/0a76/-15a96/-30a6678/-20b100/0b/20b4469/30c100/15c/0c/-15c/-30c4759/-20d100/0d/20d4945/30e100/15e/0e/-15e/-30e5052/-20f100/0f/20f/CAK) } at the end of our VDL, will we be disqualified?
This is from combining things on a timeline and then using the “Combine as Cake Effect”. Just making sure so I…Read More

Hi Curtis B, try using the VDL term ‘Ragged’ to make a break pattern less spherical. Conversely, you can use ‘Uniform’ to make a break pattern more spherical. See VDL effect adjustment terms.Yeah, I’ve used both in the VDL but it doesn’t make the stars “spit” out of the shell vs “burst” out of the shell… its a horseta…Read More

Curtis B replied to the topic Nov 2023 Cakes Contest // Official Topic & FAQ
Not for any cake in particular, but is there a way to notate a break being more of a “canister” versus a “ball shell” by chance? I’m looking at the spread on some of these effects and it doesn’t seem like I can really get the break to do what I want due to the VDL software to imagine things as ball shells versus canister shells? Maybe I’m missing…Read More

Curtis B started the topic Colored Fuel Mine VDL
I went in the effect editor and couldn’t find where to change the color of the fireball to show the actual color I am going for.
Is there a way to make this happen or would I just have to make a Blue Mine with a really large single star?
