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!!!!!

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?
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!
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)))
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?
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 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!
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.
doesn't see the xml file " warning, no object found for list"
14 วันที่ผ่านมา +1
on ma2 on pc make a new show and create an empty layer in the patch. export the layer (button below in the patch window) with a name, say "hello". Now in the "Fixture_Layers" folder you should see your xml file exported from capture and also Hello. Open your file with a text editor and copy all the text then open the Hello file with the same text editor and paste the text from your file over the text of Hello file. now use the procedure explained in the video importing the Hello file. hope this helps
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!
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
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
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 :)
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
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!
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.
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.
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.

Do a video on what you keep in your pelican (the one that you take to shows)
Hey mate! Thanks so much for this! Have you tried this in ma3? Is it possible?
wow! I'm just learning and your series is VERY helpful!
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?

Hey @christianjackson I did the same as you did but in command line file is not showing in command line please help

Then why is the fixture sheet showing weird stuff and not the fixtures? somethings missing about this method

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.
What still choose : WYSIWYG or Capture? Thanx
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!
Damnnnnn, that is tight.
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.
Looking at this now, it DOES do the layer names! A bit cluncy but better than layer 1
Hello Cristian! Would you be able to tell me if you have this is working with Wysiwyg too? Regards
Thank's a lot ! We do need more tuto for capture.
Big Up

Hello ,I want know if I want connect the capture to ma2 onpc,Do I need a really MA2 console?or it can connect to mac onpc?
Capture is THICC. I got the symphony edition for free huhuhu
How?
@@Spacelord09 Got a license from my school
@@lampini636 can you get one for me?😜🤣
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!
Same problem here. Did you solve it?
@@aknergustavson3124 I ended up unfortunately patching each fixture again manually
is it possible to do the opposite? import MA3D stage into capture?
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 so fucking helpfull omg thank you
Hey Jackson,doing great job tumbs up for your Vedio’s.
3:54 on that 6tb Storage drive is his Hentai folder xD
Hi Christian thanks a million for making this video. What program did you use to design your show?
you saved my day buddy, thank you !!
Is it possible to import an ma patch into capture?
That helped a lot ! Now to figure out how to import the structure from Capture
Why is there no MA2 for Mac? :(
Is there a way for MA3?
It is simply divine. We are waiting for more such cool videos.
Very helpful! thanks
where's the china vlog?! xoxo
Which version of capture are you using? Im still hanging on to argo, thinking about upgrading. Should i?
2019 is a HUGE step up and totally worth it in my opinion. It finally feels like pro software
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
same problem, doesn't see the xml file " warning, no object found for list"

never clicked soo faasstt

Yeah I’m just gonna wait til it’s fixed, super fast to just do it in MA :) thank you though!
Love your content... keep up the good work. My favorite fixure type has always bin the moving mirror. Are they no longer used at all?
Sadly not really anymore. Every Ld loves them but they are just less practical unfortunately
Any leads on how can this be done with WysiwygR42 and Ma2
Easy, you just need to use WYG2MA
Why aren't you using vector works?
I use both
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
The software is free but if you want to output to real fixtures you need ma hardware that unlocks parameters
Christian Jackson I don’t want to output to real fixtures, I just want to see if I like the UI / GUI stuff first. Thanks for answering my question
possible
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!
That’s for another video ;)
Thanks!
LONG TIME NO SEE THE NEW
Should do a video on how to import fixture models into capture
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.
Thank you a lot :D!

The syntax I use for this is:
cd editsetup
cd layers
import FILE.xml

How can I get dmx out of ms on pc?

Nice Haircut
First
For someone who wants to start out with lightning n stuff, what are some recommendations on the hardware/software?
MA2 and the student version of Capture
@@christianjackson Thank you!!
Very nice Video :D. But i have some connection Problems to connect GrandMA on PC and Capture on the same PC. I can´t controlle the fixture in Capture.
Do you have MA hardware in your session to unlock parameters?
@@christianjackson In the moment only the OnPC .
You need to have parameters unlocked with MA hardware in order to control capture
What do I do when I have parameters unlocked
You kinda look like zomboy my guy
😂😂
I had some people ask for a photo with me at Ever After festival who thought I was him
that's amazing that someone like u sharing so useful info fo noobs like us.. thx a lot, Christian :3
