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...

Hello, Why I have thie message when I open capture 2020 with a MP2020 16' Rendering settings will default to Low due to driver issues with the AMD Radeon 5000 series GPUs. Thanks.

I have a recurring problem with importing fixtures from Vectorworks (using VW 2020). Most of the fixtures end up where they are supposed to be, but several get thrown way out in the virtual space, 100s of feet away. Is there a fix for this Is anyone else experiencing this
