First, once again we would like to thank everyone who expressed interest or participated in the inaugural PyroJam Finale 3D Design Competition.   With the virtual portion of the competition in the history books, a number of competitors have asked about seeing their scores from the judges, or seeing an overall ranking of the shows. These are great questions and we have the utmost admiration for the dedication and passion of our fellow pyros. If the roles were reversed, we would be asking the very same questions!   To all competitors, we do not plan to release an overall ranking of the show submissions. We feel that doing so would not accurately reflect the quality of the shows or be in the spirit of the competition. But, anyone who would like to receive the judges’ critique for their show can contact Tim Jameson (timj@pyrojamusa.com). Due to the massive response, we just ask you to be patient in regards to a reply. Tim promises to respond to everyone, it may just take some time.   We want everyone to know that the judges take their role very seriously. As members of the professional fireworks community, they know the amount of time and effort required to design shows of this caliber. The judging team collectively spent over a hundred hours to reach their verdict and it was not easy. Like any other art form, judging a fireworks show objectively is almost impossible. Even with a precise scoring system, the emotional response and extent to which a show resonates will be different. Judging is also a privilege and it was certainly a privilege to see so many excellent shows. Thank you for being a member of the Finale 3D community, keep up the great work and see you on May 28th at PyroJam!

Hi Tristan, not yet, but we plan to add this capability in the future!

Hi Hamex, you can see the list of effects in any show by going to drop-down list in the Effects window and switching to ‘Per-show effects’. You would like Finale 3D to tell you which effects in ‘Per-show effects’ are not in your ‘My Effects’ collection, is that correct? If so, there is not an automated feature for that specific task at the moment. One method would be to copy the part numbers from your ‘My Effects’ collection and ‘Per-show effects’ to Excel and do a comparison there.

Hi Ultimate Fireworks, great question and YES! You can copy and paste effects from any collection to your personal “My Effects” collection.       In addition to adding effects your online “My Effects” collection, you can also create an unlimited number of offline effect databases.  

HI, Can you take a supplier catalogs and edit it to the stock you have to make your own catalog? Thanks in advance

Hi, I open an old show. Some items are not awailable any more and I deleted them from “My effects”. But in script of old show they are still existing. How to exclude effects that are in the script but not in My effects?
