Hope you enjoyed the video! I’m loving the new lighting and audio setup, really makes videos fun to make again. Huge thanks to my patreon supporters for helping to buy new video equipment. Working on the final part of the China vlogs so stay tuned for that :)
i know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a way to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Zain Ayaan i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Hey Christian, I've been using a MA 2 light for almost all big events at school and how did I learn how to use it? Exactly. From you. I just wanted to thank you for opening me a huge new world in light programming. I always love your videos and totally freak out when you upload something new. You were my teacher since day 1 of starting with MA. THANK YOU!!!!!
I'm just learning Capture now, so I was not looking for this video as it's a bit ahead of what I'm doing at the moment.... however I watched it and it blew my mind to learn that this is an option. I head no idea. I'm sure it will be super useful for me in the future. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on these videos, it does help a lot of people like me to learn and improve our skills. Once again, thank you!
Awesome video! I was waiting for the last step of creating layouts and arranging the fixtures using the camera option. It was cool meeting you at Ever After festival!
To also get the layer name, open the .xml file with a text editor, search for the phrase "Layer Name" and replace all occurences with "Layer name" (no capitalization in "name" is the important part). At least it is a workaround until capture fixes this issue :)
unfortunately this only works if you pay about 400 EUR for the program. im trying to do the grand MA2 crash course, does anybody have the file for the student version of capture or the show file for ma3d?
"We'll call this file 'Capture Demo'. Me (and everyone else of a certain age): "Argh, noooo. Don't put spaces in filenames. It's bound to break something later" Millenials: Say what, old man? . :-)
Hi Christian, than you for share this! do you know any way to number the channels id in order from a selection of fixtures in capture ???. I did it one by one and was very painful. Thank you again!
You can't. You can only import fixtures that have been exported from Capture unfortunately. If you need a fixture that isn't in the Capture library then you need to request it from Capture them self.
Hi Christian any chance to post a video or mail me a step by step setup to connect and use Capture as a visualiser I am batteling to get mine setup on the Ma and am abit lost
This is great - thanks. But I'm having trouble linking my ma2 on pc to capture on the same pc. Linking to MA3D works fine. Any suggestion gratefully received.
Hey Christian, can you help me!? I have a problem in my djm 900 nx, the LFO just blinking 5 times clock signal . do you have some idea!? Doesn't work more, just freezing.
Hi ! I try it but it doesn't work i put the file in the fixture_layers folder and then when i go to the directory in MA, cd 11 then in the number 4, there is nothing.. like it doesn't see it
I hawe workt as a light and stage teknik in lake 1 year now. U acsuely made my dream to work whit this true. I hawe made som ligth show to the songs my self. At work we use Martin K10 and Mac 700 abow the stage. For spost we use 4 encor. And for backraun and the side we somtime ute colurdhas at setra. I hope u can take kontakt whit me so u can see what i hawe som whit the ligth show at what i kan do better whit it to the two spesefic songs
Hey Christian, whenever I change my fixture type from dimmer to the right fixture, the patch goes away and changes to "(-)", do you know why that happens? Love ur videos btw!
Cool, Bro! I've tried to do the same thing in Ma3 but couldn't find folder "fixture_layers" (cd 9 Patch) (((( Any suggestions? I've know that from ver 21 Capture can work with MVR, but I have 2020 & work with Ma3))) From ma2 convert to ma3 maybe))) - very long way to get result also)))
I don’t own any ma2 stuff but I own ADJ MyDMX Buddy but I was to mess around with ma2, do I need anything for it to work? Edit: Mainly to see if I like it
Have you been able to import multi instance fixtures from Capture to MA so that their 3D data gets imported as well? I was struggling with some Sunbeam 100FCs today and had to eventually import them in a 3-channel mode and then morph to the pixel mode I was going after. The XML does have their 3D location information, but MA2 doesn't seem to be able to handle it on a multi instance fixture. The way you do this (import as dimmers and change the fixture type) kind of solves it, but I would want to be able to import directly to the correct fixture type, especially when working with big rigs. And by the way. Specifying the fixture type numbers in Capture works just fine just as it does when exporting from Vectorworks to MA. You just need to pre-import the fixture types to your show file first. The syntax I use for this is: cd editsetup cd layers import FILE.xml
Yeah, but the amount of time spent importing the fixture IDs before hand and arranging them properly I would say takes more time than just importing as dimmers, plus like you said it keeps multi instance fixtures from getting messed up. Most of the time multi instance comes out okay that way, but many times I just leave the 3D close enough and make my layout views precisely with the arrangement of instances I want
@@christianjackson Thanks. I did think this is probably at least one of the reasons you import as dimmers first. I'm just used to the fixture type matching workflow due to originally doing this stuff with the Vectorwroks to MA2 plugin.
Hi Christian, I exported Patch from Avolites Titan One to XML file, and expecting to do the same as your tutorial in this video getting the same result but it wasn't. After type command cd 4 >> enter wich is select and open Layer Folder containing XML File, I typed List the result is red Warning No Object Found For List. I just realized the XML file that exported from Titan One have different informations apart from XML file provided/exported by Capture. So, is there any chance some how we can import Patch from XML file from Titan One to MA2? Thanks in advance. I'll attach the download link of the XML File and PDF that exported from Titan One: drive.google.com/folderview?id=11OcgwYNFK-Itpknhbp1Y9NmBWYeQM7-O If you have time maybe would like to check and try it?
Unless you have some sort of MA hardware then unfortunately it is impossible to visualise MA2 with Capture. This is so you cannot output to fixtures in real time as this is illegal without MA hardware.
