“I am amazed by Finale 3D. The export to PD (pdm) file, with tracks is far superior to what I have had to in the last two decades of working with PD. I designed a 20-minute pinboard show from scratch having never listened to the soundtrack in 1 hour. I produced 15 cue sheets in two days with Finale 3D.”
“Finale 3D enabled us to provide a streamlined experience for our client at Super Bowl LV. We created & provided 3D renderings of the player introductions, the Pepsi Halftime show with The Weeknd, and the post game pyrotechnics. Not only were these renderings used for the creative vision, but also reviewed by the NFL, Raymond James Stadium, all Production companies involved and the Tampa Fire Department. Overall, Finale 3D was a huge part of our success. Thank you!!”
“Finale 3D is by far the most impressive choreography software we have ever used. From the ease of combining work from multiple designers, to custom racks and custom addressing, the software saves us countless hours over other design software. Ultimately, the “3D” portion of the software is the least impressive portion of the overall package. I think this speaks volumes considering how lifelike the 3D simulations are!”
“Finale 3D makes it truly finale! It is incredible creative software with very good support on all levels. We are able to design next level shows with visual testing, and we are able to create next level effects for our shows. We use the graphical position plans of Finale 3D effectively, and we control of our stock levels using Finale Inventory. WE LIKE!”
“We used Finale 3D for the ‘Havana 500’ displays, with the simulations approved by Cuba’s President himself! I can’t say enough about 3D. It’s straightforward to learn, provides simple solutions for complex equipment planning, and produces stunning simulations that a designer can provide to the most prestigious of clients.”
“Truly wonderful. I used to use separate software for visualization, sound, and equipment. I had to explain everything in the field. There were a lot of mistakes. Finale 3D is modern, all-in-one software, which simplifies my work extensively. Prints are logical, clear and understandable. Now we always take the right amount of mortars and modules. There are no mistakes any more.”
“Truly amazing software to take your designs to the next level. Endless customizability, complex sequences, multiple firing systems in the same show, real time simulations and inventory management make designing a treat. Creating the 360° CN Tower show at 1800 feet above the ground would have been impossible without the visualizing power of Finale 3D.”
“Finale rocks — it is an unbelievable tool to get the pictures out of your mind and onto the screen. We designed the first place Pyronale 2018 show in Finale 3D. To keep in budget, we used Finale 3D to simulate firing patterns to choose the best approach to fill the sky. The extensive addressing capabilities made the show setup as easy as could be.”
“The features of Finale 3D are incredible, and they are so easy to use. We save many hours of work with the software’s great and powerful features.”
“No ignition system or software has ever offered such effective methods. For productions with thousands of single-shots, Finale 3D allocates racks according to our specifications, giving us enormous relief and time savings. Previously, we used three systems to perform visualization, scripting and reporting. It all works today with just a single software, Finale 3D.”
“What used to take two hours per minute of show duration to design now takes two hours per song or segment to complete. Even if you only design one show per year and save yourself 20 hours of work, which I promise you will, you are already well ahead. Finale 3D is an absolute must have. It is the single greatest innovation in display design efficiency I have ever seen.”
“It is impossible to say enough about a system that takes care of your entire workflow. I have used Finale 3D to design shows with multiple firing systems stretching across kilometers of land and water. After 20 years of experience in this field, I can tell you for a fact that there is no other product that even justifies a comparison attempt.”
“A once in a generation moment! The realtime sim, addressing blueprints and 4k videos enable us to showcase our ideas in 3D to clients, collaborators, event management and broadcast partners early, which forms the backbone of our final design and provides a link to drive the creative development of an event around our pyrotechnic concepts.”
“We always thought the original Finale was a powerful tool but Finale 3D takes show designing to a whole new level. From the ease of adding effects from available stock to just the versatility of scripting, the software works naturally for us the way we work, rather than requiring us to change procedures to make it work.”
“Finale 3D is the most powerful design software I have ever had the opportunity to use, and its features are all simple and intuitive. It has so many tools, effects and possibilities that I am able to impress clients to the point of raising their budgets, allowing me to increase the complexity of my designs.”
