I have installed the latest nvidia drivers after a few months using older drivers but other programs on my computer need me to update them and with finale3D I still have the same problem I can’t see the effects previews. In the picture is my graphic card model and all the drivers I have tried and they don’t work until the most recent one. Is there any solution?   thanks

What about using AI to create VDL descriptions of complex cakes. finale3d.com web site would have a page where to upload or paste a link to a video of the cake or other effect. An AI engine would then be used to create the VDL.

I thought there was another “popularity” section . Thank you !     I made that play list of the shows I watched on YouTube.  It has no affiliation with the judging.  I updated the title to make that clearer

Hi Moises Luis Exposito, this is because the Hobbyist version of Finale 3D does not load items into racks. Hobbyist allows you to calculate the number of racks needed, but it doesn’t assign each line of script to a specific rack.

Depending on your version of Finale 3D (Lite, Hobbyist, Pro), there are a wide variety of customizations available to you including, user settings, window arrangement presets, the layout of table windows such as the effects and script window, custom reports, labels, diagrams, and more.   There are two locations where customizations are saved: The first location is within a show FIN file. Accessing anything saved in a show file is as easy as opening the show (‘File > Open’). The second location is the per_user_settings text file in the Finale 3D installation directory.   Generally, the per_user_settings file is meant to be entirely hands off. However, if you were switching computers or needed to access the file for any other reason, you can get to it from Finale 3D by going to ‘File > Admin > Open backup files directory’. This will take you to the finale3d-backups folder on your computer’s hard drive.   The finale3d-backups folder is NOT overwritten when you install a new release of Finale 3D. Unless you totally uninstall Finale 3D and delete the directory, the backups folder should remain including all its contents.   So, what is saved in each location? Custom window arrangements (i.e., “Presets”, found in ‘Window > Preset 4, 5, 6’, the size and position of windows on your screen or screens) — saved in per_user_settings in the finale3d-backups folder User settings (everything in ‘File > User settings’) — saved in per_user_settings in the finale3d-backups folder Custom table layouts represented by puzzle piece icons (the visibility, width, and order of columns in windows like the Effects window and Script window) — saved as blueprints in the show FIN file. Show settings (everything in ‘Show > Show settings’) — saved in the show FIN file Addressing blueprints (applies to Finale 3D Pro) — saved as blueprints in the show FIN file. Custom reports, custom labels, custom site layouts, custom rack diagrams (applies to Finale 3D Pro) — saved as blueprints in the show FIN file.
