So I don't know what to call it but..  when you have a selection there's a row of tools in red under the sleection.   On the left is the 'selection' icon,  then the 'setting' icon,  the copy icon, then on the right there's little 'info' icon.    When you press this button it gives you all kinds of info like:  Channels, Total weight, total power etc...    can we please have a 'total DMX channels' line added to this   When I go to auto patch it shows me the total number of channels needed t...

Please add the ability to give individual fixtures a colour identification. This would need to allow split colours - for example yellow/green horizontal lines (earth tape) plus an additional colour Earth Red for example. This information would need to be avaliable in reports and optionally plots in an appropriate container.

Hello guys, hope you're all doing well! My name is Vinicius, I'm from Brasil, work at On Lighting Studios and I purchased Capture 2024 some time ago. I’ve been using it mainly to build lighting plots and similar projects. Recently, I started using Blender for 3D animation and realized that I could import these animations into Capture. Now, here’s the scenario I’m facing: I created an animation of a ballerina dancing across the stage, imported it into Capture, and programmed the lights using ...

Plot view I wish I could have the option to view the plot ortografisc type from the left, right, front, back, top, bottom when using Plot View and Plot Edit. The geometry can sometimes be confusing when only one side is visible. Currently, we can only choose the right side in Plot Edit, which may lead to misunderstandings.

To whom it may concern: I noticed that when importing an MVR my unit number is mapped, but my 'position' is not mapped. In the United States lighting field, particularly in theater, we use the 'position' to mean the 'location' of the fixture. So the first electric (a batten on stage) would have a unique unit number per position, but not per plot. The 'uniqueness' depends on the combination of the two fields. That's about as close to a UUID as possible in the workflow for most of our theaters....

Hello Capture team, Is it possible to convert the orientation of fixtures (pan & tilt value) from MVR to XYZ rotation when importing into Capture so that focused spotlights from other programs are imported correctly into Capture I sometimes work with large numbers of fixtures in Vectorworks, and when I port them to Capture, the entire alignment is lost. Or perhaps it would be possible to adopt the concept of focus points in Capture, but there has already been a post about this here. Max

I have been told that this is not possible at the moment (I have 2024 Duet, but people tell me it is not in 2025 either), but I would like to request that the ability to remotely change scenes in Capture *without* using DMX be added in a future release. The situation: I use either a Chamsys console or a Chamsys PCWing setup for all my lighting work. When programming I sit in my studio with Capture projected on the wall at the end, giving me a near life-sized view of the virtual st...

Hi capture I would like to see the patch of the build-in effects(Co2, flame and waterjet) on the plot view. It’s not possible at the moment Best regards Niels

I would like to see even finer adjustment options for the rotation speed in the GOBO rotation correction window. Sometimes the reality is exactly between two values that can be specified. I would like to be able to enter a number directly here. Two buttons next to the slider with plus and minus would also significantly improve user-friendliness. Greetings Rebecca Röder

So I have created a couple of different shows at the same venue - primarily because I dont always have my floor package on the show, sometimes guest LD's bring their own. My floor package is 4 upright towers. (GT pre-rig) each with 8 fixtures.  I was wondering if there is a way I could create one of these towers as a 'user defined' fixture that I could add to my library and select/insert it in any future shows  Just trying to eliminate having to build this tower everytime I want to use it. ...
