Hi Tim, the launch time isn’t the issue, I just wanted to be able to see the breaks hit exactly on time when I’m watching playback. I know this wont happen in real life but it just helps me to make sure I’m on time when scripting.   Since I’m here I had a quick question about chains. I know we are not allowed to break them apart or make our own chains, but it doesn’t say we can’t change the chains delay. Obviously, if someone does that, then the chain is technically being broke apart and the delay fused changed. So I just wanted to confirm that this would be a chain modification and should not be done.

Just a quick question on duration – I have my music track worked out as 9:56, but the final effect of the show is some long-lasting willows. Do these effects need to have finished under the 10 min mark, or is overhang from spent pyro fine?

Thanks a lot for the quick response Tim!   – Darrin Tim Jameson wrote: WP-FX Pyrodesign wrote: Hi Drew and Tim, is it possible that the ”JY4-C-04-RC” effect has been removed from the catalog?

I had used it as well (although I haven’t submitted yet)…… Tim Okay guys, I went into the inventory and somehow the “Choreography” tab had gotten changed to “Non-Choreographed” on this item which caused it to not be visible in the catalog. I did go through the rest of the inventory and that appears to be the only one it happened to. Not sure how it happened, but if you sync, you should be able to see this item now.

I have the same effect at the exact same time on two different positions and they appears to shoot at different times. A little confusing when trying to make everything so accurate. I want keep everything accurate and only look at the real world randomness once completed. As Neil said, there shouldn’t be any changes in launch times when real world randomness is turned on.  Can you shoot me an email at timj@pyrojamusa.com and let me know which effect/device you’re running across with this?  Thanks.

I have a bit of my show designed and was looking back through the show to make sure all requirements are met and that I am not over using product as in using 25 shells when there is only 20 in inventory. As I was looking back over the show some of the product is no longer there is the catalog changing with your inventory or is product put away for the shows themself? Thank you~ Matt Hi Matt, nothing should have changed as far as the catalog.  If you know of something that is missing or seems to have changed, please email me at timj@pyrojamusa.com so I can look into it.  In the meantime, I’m going to go through the whole catalog tonight and make sure something wasn’t changed by accident on our end.  Thanks.

Thanks Neil. I passed over that setting thinking it was only for when rendering to video. Thanks for the quick reply.

Engineer Cat , Go to File -> Render settings (or press Ctrl+Shift+J) to change the render settings for those options.   However, launch times should be reasonably close for effects placed at the same time on the timeline, so if you’re seeing extreme differences, there might be another issue.
