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.  

Hey guys, where is the option to switch between accurate and randomness? 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.

This is a question about the product inside The pyrojam supplier catalog. 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

Cause i’ve already submitted my display and this effect had quite a part in it. And if it has been removed, am i able to change it?   WP-FX Pyrodesign, I just looked and I don’t see it now either. I had used it as well (although I haven’t submitted yet)……   Tim

It baffled me, everything up to that point was fine. Checked, double checked and triple checked and finale runs the sim spot on. I did run another render and that one seems to be ok. the panic that set in when I realise was unreal 🤣. Never designed a musical before so this was all new territory for me and rendering. fingers crossed it all works your end fine.

Quick one for you both and maybe more Drew. running the sim on finale and creating a video. the sim plays back in finale with timings spot on but when creating a video and timings are all over the place. which one is correct ? I’m thinking the finale sim but having sent mine in and now looking im slightly worried Hi Ricky, I can’t begin to guess why the video timing is different than the sim video, but the sims are what are used for judging so I wouldn’t worry as long as the sim is accurate to what you have designed.  Maybe Drew can offer some assistance on the video rendering issue.  Did you try and render another video and compare the two by chance?
