hi everyone, I'm Shep, a 49 year musician/ 10 year recording studio/ live audio production guy who is going to wear the dual production hat by adding lighting to my live audio work. I will be running both productions for the same band 90 of the time I'm working live. I am  new to Capture, but was certified once in AutoCAD for space planning 2 years ago, so that may help my curve.  I'd like to be able to 'pre-scale' the rooms via Capture 2020. I have dimensions for 6 rooms already. I have 2 s...

Hi, Is it possible to save files created in Capture 2020 in a format compatible with opening in previous capture versions I appreciate not all features will be available when working backwards in software so long as the fundamentals work.  Thanks

Hello, Ive tried searching but cannot seem to find an answer, i cannot make sparkulas 'spark' in capture live view. I have patched them in and connected to a chamsys via artnet and can see both channels of the sparkula are at full but no sparks are coming out of the fixture in live. All other lights are working as expected.  Is there a setting then needs to be enabed I've tried everything i can see and guidance would be great!

In Alpha view - and after re-orientating, zooming in / out etc. I find my 'Stage' has slipped away from the center - often with major chunks off screen. How do I 'pull' it back Or perhaps pull the grid origin (0,0) back into the vertical and horizontal center. I'm sure I did this some time back but can't find how to do it agian!

I was looking for a tubular light in the library. You know, that old fashioned kind that used to hang in every office. Any idea where to find that in the library or in which way i can use another kind of light to similate this kind of light. Thanks Edwin

Hi. I've done a drawing of a stage in capture. Now i want to add visibel numbers to the rigging points in the ceiling, text pieces to the the dmx and cat locations on the wall etc etc. But i can't seem to find a way to do it, besides going to plot mode. Is there away to add text thats i visible in wireframe-, live- and custome mode Sincerly  -Henrik Sloth Jesen

In plot view how do I make the optics text smaller Thanks Damo

Hi there, Im trying to use the Generic LED Panel and it will not attach to the truss, therefore when I create a fixture report it does not appear on the truss as a fixture or a weight. Cheers, Damo

I downloaded Capture 2020 Student to try it out before making the decision to move over permenantly, and I'm glad I did because I've discovered that a lot of my fixture colors are off. For example, compared to Capture 2019, my fixtures that are programmed to be red are giving off a very orange color in Capture 2020. Blues and greens also appear to be over saturated. In addition, while the new rendering menu is nicer and simpler, is there a way to revert to the old one My system worked better wi...

During the Live 2020 Presentation, the demonstration showed Console Link.  Is that ONLY available with ETC or is it for any console with connectivity with the software Thank you, great product!
