They explode way before the selected cue. Thank you.   We did update a number of effects in the catalog but the changes were limited to shell heights, and the adjustment for most items was very minor. The updates shouldn't be causing what you're seeing — we'll take a look and follow up as soon as possible.

Hi Tim,   I noticed that there has been a lot of updates to the catalog. Something seems to be wrong with the 5 inch Gold Strobing Willows (JY5-0378-GSW). They explode way before the selected cue. Thank you.

Thank you Drew for your answer !

If I understand correctly, we cannot do letters with single shot for example ? Or it’s just concerned the direction toward or away the audience ? In resume if we do letters verticaly, does it allowed ? Thank’s. P-A Effects may not be fired toward or away from the audience. This prevents you from doing "matrix" letters. However, there are no restrictions on firing patterns or left/right angles, which means there is no rule against vertical letters. In other words, vertical letters are allowed.

There are no plans whatsoever to change the location, but of course it's possible that the event could move in the future depending on several factors.   2. Can anyone go to the shoot, or is it for entrants only? (I only live a couple hrs away and would love to bring my family out to watch it) Yes, ANYONE and EVERYONE can attend PyroJam. Come and bring 10,000 of your best friends. https://www.pyrojamusa.com/   3. For next year…can I just use my Hobbyist license or do I HAVE to upgrade to the PRO version? Thanks! -Russ You can use Hobbyist to design a PyroJam show, but you'll be missing out on some great features that are only available in Pro. If Pro license upgrades are free again next year (as they have been every year), why not take advantage!?

Hi, brand new user of Finale3D...in just the last month. I'm late to the game for 2025 Pyrojam, as I just figured out what it was...lol. I was focused on learning the software and getting my show complete for this summer, to get my product orders in early. I'm not a power user yet, but, I've learned a large chunk of the software already...and I think its a great product.   Anyway, a couple basic, wave-top questions...   1. Is the Pyrojam physical shooting location the same every year? 2. Can anyone go to the shoot, or is it for entrants only? (I only live a couple hrs away and would love to bring my family out to watch it) 3. For next year...can I just use my Hobbyist license or do I HAVE to upgrade to the PRO version?   Thanks! -Russ

Hello, Russ from Maine, but currently reside in Virginia. Been enthused with 4th of July and fireworks since I first saw my dad and Grampa shooting fireworks when I was 4yrs old. After almost 25yrs of USAF active military service, and 10 years of planning a pyromusical in my head (yes...10 yrs!), I put my first show on last year on the 4th at our camp on a lake in Maine with a MAXED OUT and overly-taxed IGNITE system. It was an amazing and resounding success. So this year...MASSIVE upgrades including full COBRA firing, Finale3D scripting, custom musical effects using Audacity, and 1.4G Pro products across multiple positions. I'm considering Pyrocast so boats watching from the middle of lake (it's almost 2miles across) can have "tuned" music right to their viewing position. But I dunno...lol...so many changes already...what could go wrong???   That said, I'm really just a backyard, novice-amateur hobbyist, doing one self-funded show/yr. But maybe...this grows into something else. Nobody in my area (of Maine) does anything like this (that I'm aware of.)   I discovered Finale3D about 1 month ago from the COBRA website. I've been fervently immersed in self-learning of the hobbyist version. This is pretty powerful software and was exactly what I was looking for to expedite the scripting...although...creating my own effects to match my uncatalogued supplier was a bit tedious. All good learning I guess...CHEERS!
