Hi PyroWalker, I have good news all around! On the subject of effects, especially consumer cakes, I am hearing you loud and clear.

I LOVED having the catalog for the Pyro Jam design. Would it be possible to continue to release more pre-made catalog designs. Also, more consumer 1.4 level fireworks. I am currently building my own effects inventory and it is such a time commitment to be building every product I buy. I don’t like the placeholder cakes, even though I know they can be helpful when getting timing cues. My issue with place holders is that if I have a cake with multiple effects, I want to know/see when and where that effect is going to hit with the music. My other recommendation, and it may be possible but I don’t know how to change the setting yet….. My effects inventory resets for each show I am creating. So if I have 100 of an effect, but I am designing 3 shows, it doesn’t take the “used” across each of my shows. Again, this may be a settings issue that I haven’t figured out!

Congratulations to everyone !! 🙂

Hi Alex,   maybe you could create and excel sheet with two columns . The first column contains  the Part Number . You can easily create it with copy and paste from your “MY Effects” in excel. Than add a second column named quantity. Put an value greater 0 in this column (of cour you could als set it to the real amount you have available). Then use the Import function File -> Import – Import effect quotas. Unhide the quota column for effect windows. Now you can sort / filter in the per show effects for effects that have no quota !   Hope this is not to complicated and helps   Hope to see you again some time this year !   Dirk

Absolutely, the preview of the video effect is usefull

Hi Finale comunity, my name is Aleš Ham, I’m from Slovenia, I run small fireworks factory Hamex, and of course we are display operator, for more than 30 years. I’m using Finale3D, it helps me a lot, I simply convert a complex idea into a finale script and later on show into reality.

Hi Pyro_77310000, reach out to Tim Jameson by email (timj@pyrojamusa.com), he will give you some insights on your show.

Good afternoon: First of all, my most sincere congratulations to the three qualifiers from the PHILIPPINES, TURKEY AND GERMANY. I just wanted to know where it ended up since it’s the first time I’ve made a pyromusical with the FINALE 3D program. I am a pyrotechnics worker, I am not dedicated to design, but I think that although I have not come very far I have had a lot of fun and without hesitation I will participate again, of course without being able to do anything against the great designers. It is said that you will never go to bed without knowing something new, because I know within my possibilities to make a pyromusical, as an apprentice. Thank you very much for this opportunity you gave me. All the best

Thank you Drew. Yes, now I compare screens:     but I thought there is some trick I didn’t know. The problem is that the product is not visible in “My effects”, but it appears on all reports.So you don’t see any red warning field (used : awailable) as missing item. Perhaps a challenge for the future?
