I think this is interesting. In addition to standardizing the behavior (with a pattern that is familiar), I think the reduction in the number of effects to scroll through is a win (everything adds up). I wouldn’t expect the range of values to be wide (not sure my flame machines would run for 10 seconds 😀), but I can definitely see the benefit of being able to adjust end timing more precisely when trying to line up with the music. What default time are you thinking?

I tried creating this effect. I works great in my test show where I made and copied it to My effects. When I then insert it in my show it just becomes a flame shoot up. If I directly create it in the show it will works fine, but it seems to want a que for each of the sperate items that make up the effect. So how do I address this. Just address one of the added effects and leave the others blank?

Hi, Sorry late reply…   All good now! Installed the latest full release.

Yes! The Pro version of Finale 3D allows you to generate site layout diagrams, complete with positions, Google Maps imagery, rulers, icons, and more. For details, check out the Site layout diagrams basic instructions documentation.

Hello, I have always wondered if you have a site layout in the reports, where it shows all the positions in the field, like it does in the design window. Which can then be printed out. Thank you very much! Kevin

I know you guys have been busy with this kind of thing. I did see the Riakeo catalog and that’s awesome! Thank you very much! 👍

If you want to roll back, just download the version you want and install

Hello, my laptop works good. the keyboard works everyday all the time. once I open the app, my keyboard stops working. I close the app, and my keyboard still doesn’t work until i restart my laptop. then the keyboard works fine, until….. I don’t need the update and don’t really care about what it has to offer. I just want my app to work so i can design my upcoming show. can someone either tell me how to fix the issue with the new download or, tell me how to go back to the last version. thank you

That’s works for me. Now how I create a simple peony type shell with a delayed Salute (Bottom Shot)   Thanks for the help

So how do you do a 4″ Lampare with the fireball in the sky?   Here’s a link for a show file that contains a custom 4″ Lampare shell: https://finale3d.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/4in.-Lampare.fin   After opening the show in Finale 3D, you can go to the drop-down list in the Effects window and select Per-show effects. Then, you can right click on the lampare effect and Add to My Effects, which will make it easy to use the effects in other shows.
