Hi All I'm using VWX Spotlight 2020 and Capture 2020 I export DWG and Instrument Data as separate exports from Spotlight. I import both into Capture. I can see the list of fixtures but they are not linked to the 3D models. I want to Indentify the fixtures by their channel numbers but it's not working for me Any Ideas Thanks in advance

For a project I'm working on at the moment it would be really good to be able to select direct show video inputs. I have virtual cameras that use DirectShow on Windows, I would like to use them on video panels but they don't appear in the devices list. I guess it's just a matter of integrating FFmpeg Hope this can be added soon. Thanks. :)

I have a TV studio rig with over 200 bars and i use putting units on bars as a way of getting the data for the DMX patch - I can not get the data on the report today (I upgraded from .47 to .51 today)77 I have had this issue before but it seemed to have been sorted - it is again not working. Help - show tonight and I'd rahter not have to count them by hand regards David Abra 447788 410965

Hello, I'm having an issue where Astera tubes and NYX bulbs in Mode 89 (most popular for Film/TV work) don't show color even when the crossfade parameter is at full.  They seem to be only showing CCT. Additionally when the CCT is all the way at 0 it should be a very warm 1750K and right now it looks a lot cooler.

Some important fields are not being transferred from Vectorworks to Capture using the recommended 'Export lighting device data'.  Color is one such omission.  i.e. L116 in VW's 'color' field does not go to Capture. Capture uses 'Slot frames' as a field to hold color data. So, I configured a field in VW called 'Slot frames' copied the L116 into it, and again, no luck.  I also have a field in VW named 'Groups' as does Capture.  But it doesn't transfer.  VW's 'Position' does not input to Capture's ...

I am teaching a lighting class online during the pandemic. So far, Capture has been incredibly useful. However, we have run into a problem with the latest version. In the previous version, instruments could be patched and controlled with the built-in dimmer in groups. Afterward, one could save a cue simply by saving the file with an appropriate name. In the latest version, once an instrument has been patched or imported from Vectorworks with a patch value, it cannot be controlled with the built-...

Are there any plans on the roadmap to add .dae model imports

Hey, I got an old capture file (timestamp said 2015) with c2p extension. I tried to open it in capture 2019 and capture 2020 but both report 'Project Open Error'. Is that because the file is from an older version or is it a problem with the file. Cheers, Hugo

When we patch fixtures we can see the current values in the universes tab, but this doesn't work with cameras. If I patch a camera, the universe preview window doesn't show the values unless I'm sending them externally. It would be great if I could see the current camera position while I change things with the cursor, so I could send the same values from my external communication device to quickly change the camera coordinates.

Hello there, I have created a show file in ETCnomad v2.9, created an entire setting with lights in vectorworks, exported that to capture. But now I'm having an issue where random channels will spontaneously turn on; random lights turn on, random gobos are activated in moving lights random color, and random movement. It seems that the only way it goes away is either through waiting (as if the fixture/address realizes it shouldn't be on) or if I force 'overload' the lamp to do a lot of other th...
