    hello young man!

    you posted on the forum , fb and i directed you to email support@capturesweden.com too! so please dont mail there and we will take it from here :)

    so, the way to move your lights is to patch some fixtures, go to perspective view, live mode, and hit the middle button that is like a power button. then from the attributes you can set any attribute you like so please open the intensity and the shutter. then with the right click the fixtures will "move" and focus wherever you want.

    ciao Alessio, and let me know here if you made it!

    Yes, but this was not the problem. I'd like to make them move alone, that create the frame and then film them as they move, you understand? In this way: (see the video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STXUlj4SOrA

    easy!

    follow these steps:

    first of all in the comments of the video it says "Lighting rig simulated in Capture Polar, Programmed with MagicQ PC" so go to the chamsys page and download their console software because you need a console to program the show. their website is http://www.chamsys.co.uk/ and their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/chamsys ..like..like..

    now once you downloaded magicQ study their tutorials how to use it and then load the capture demo show that comes with the software. In capture you will have to load the "club" project that can be downloaded from our website and connect the two software between them.

    what you are missing is the programming part so you have to invest time on a console, Capture is on the design and simulation side of your show

    happy programming!

    in the external universes of capture the chamsys universes must pop up. if they dont then look on the chamsys side.

    if you use "connect on the same pc" in chamsys you should be ok.

    if you use "artnet" connections make sure you are connected to any network and that both software use the same network card from their options.

    i will keep it short until you try these first.

    What do you mean by "connect on the Same PC"? I followed a tutorial which told me to go on "Setup" -> "View DMX 1 / 0" and then change the frist 3 light on the visualiser on "Capture Same PC" mode but when i go to try the lights do not work, have no connection. :(

    once you select "capture on same pc" as you say you have to see these chamsys universes pop up in the external universes of capture and patch them. capture will automatically pick up any broadcasting universes so repeat the procedures on chamsys, and if that doesnt work for some reason try enabling artnet too. more detailed information can be found in the manuals.
