Sharing fireTEK modules and slats across multiple positions
The fireTEK firing system utilizes multiple slats for each firing system module. This video demonstrates how to share fireTEK modules and slats between multiple positions on a shoot site.
Fixing wiring errors caused by ‘Pre-assigned rails’
This video demonstrates how fix wiring errors that are the result of a shortage of pre-assigned rails. Depending on the firing system, “rail” is synonymous with “module”. Wiring errors can occur when using pre-assigned rails (i.e., pre-assigned modules) if not enough rails are assigned to accommodate the number of effects. For example, if a position has only one pre-assigned rail with 32 pins, and the position has 35 items at different event times, then 3 items will be left over after addressing and will display “error” in the Rail and Pin columns of the Script window.
Fixing ‘Type’ for addressing with single-shots first
This video demonstrates how to troubleshoot addressing issues caused by effects that have the wrong ‘Type’. The values for Type are predefined, and include: shell, comet, mine, cake, candle, single shot, ground, and a few others. If an effect has the wrong Type, it can cause various, especially when it comes to assigning addresses and loading racks.
Putting multiple items on the same pin (2 ways)
Allowing multiple items to be wired into the same firing system pin (i.e., cue) is a commonly practice to conserve the amount of firing system equipment needed to produce a show. This video tutorial demonstrates how to accomplish this using the ‘Max. e-matches per pin’ setting in the Address Show dialog. For more advanced scenarios, this video also demonstrates how to precisely control which sets of effects are allowed to share the share the same pin using a combination of the ‘Group’ feature and pin restriction constraint in the Address Show dialog.

Differentiating between types of cakes when assigning addresses
This video demonstrates how to use the ‘Category’ field in the Effects window to differentiate between standard cakes and single-row cakes (i.e., cake slices) when assigning addresses in Finale 3D.
No sound effect for crackling tail …

The system seems to recognize the term “cracking tail” and renders a decent visual, but without the crackling sound effect.   Should I be using a different term to get an audibly crackling tail?   Thanks!

Hi NoéMaamar, if you edit your report title, and then don’t see that exact title when you export a PDF, you must be editing a different report than the one you are exporting. If you like, send your show FIN file to support@finale3d.com. In the email, please also attach your PDF report and a screenshot or phots that shows exactly which report you are selecting from the File menu.

Hello Drew, thank you for this answer, however by modifying the title in the report parameters there is always “My Report” when I export my shooting plan in PDF.     Sincerely
