How To Create a Laser Show (A Detailed Beginner's Guide)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
- This one's for the beginners!
When I was starting out, I would constantly check the QuickShow wiki and Pangolin's tutorial videos to find any hidden information that would improve my programming.
I created this video for the beginner me.
It's a bit longer than I expected but it contains all the information and tips I wish I knew when I was starting out.
I hope it helps!
Missed Points:
• If you experience strobing on the laser, try reducing points per beam first!
Then point count or size.
• Color effects. Totally missed it. Make sure they're placed in the 'correct' order in your effect list. A size or position effect will change the way your cue interacts with color effects. Move the color effect above to retain the whole color effect at all times. Move it below to have the cue take on position-based colors.
• In key effects, 'Enable auto-keying' will automatically create a keyframe when you change the associated value. I always have this on.

The most anticipated video of humanity
seriously
Bruh Finally. Those shorts have been edging me. FInally came through again and its so good to see a tutorial now.
Great explanation and tutorial, Vox! You're truly amazing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the community and providing another way to learn laser show programming! 😄
glad you enjoyed the episode little buddy 😊
got my projector delivered recently so perfect timing on this thanks!!!
Thank you so much for this! I bought a Raw 1.7 awhile back because I saw your videos last year. I've been fiddling with it, trying to piece it all together, but it's definitely not easy. Super excited to watch this all the way through, cus I know there'll be something that I didn't know in here. Thaaanks!
Amazing. I hope Pangolin sponsors you as you are the reason many of us are buying their products. Getting QS next week and will be trying it on Chinese 5w Ilda Lasers. I hope this wont hinder me too much until I can afford Unity/KVant projectors.
Will be purchasing your shows first thing.
Your shorts drew me in I haven’t been interested in lighting for years but I did also use a crap old software called das light on XP LOL
Hey Vox, love your shows, keep up the great work!
The problem you uncountered around 38:00 can be easily solved if you use a cue list, it's in Beyond but I'm not sure if it's in quickshow. Once you drop a cue to your timeline it gets added to the cue list. If you want your cues to be linked, drag them from the cue list to the timeline instead. This way, if you want to add an effect to all the linked cues, you add it not to the timeline but in the cue list, and it'll affect each and everyone of them. Likewise you can replace cues in the cue list and it'll change all the linked ones that are in the timeline!
Hope that helps if you weren't doing that already!
Right! I actually haven't done this using the cue list directly but I'm gonna start haha thanks for the tip! I was surprised that this wasn't a feature in QuickShow. It's the biggest timesaver for me so I was pretty excited to share it with beginners.
There's some really helpful tips in this video, a couple things that are handy that I wasn't aware of! If you actaully created a course that we could take to learn how to make shows like you do, I would absolutely buy that! Thank you for making this tutorial Vox, love what you make! :D
thank you so much for this! i never knew where to start even with the basic and this is a big help. my listening room for music will be incredible in the future thanks to you
Great video!!
Thank you very much for your good work
AWESOME!!🔥👍
My guy, these are absolutely insane. Can you do a massive compilation of your sets/some really long ones for insanely nice visuals. Would die for this for getting on the cook
Sooo interesting, thank you so much and keep it going!
Hey dude awesome tutorial! I'm still really new to laser design and was wondering if you could do a tutorial/brief explanation on safe zones? I would really like to be able to project with a setup similar to what you have in your immersive videos. Anyways you're a huge inspiration and I'm looking forward to seeing more content from you! 😊
Wow amazing ❤
Keep them coming please! There isn’t to much to learn from :(
Nice one
Thank you my goat
muchas gracias
Bless sir
Давай еще видео туториала, ты делаешь мощно💪
I wanted to ask you a question, what is the signal that comes from your PC to the laser? Is it from one laser to another or is there a central one to distribute?
like before see the video!!!
i will see the video,manu thanks!!!!
Finally i can watch the tutorial of a profession that i will never get in.
Will this software work with other laser brands that are ILDA/DMX compatible?
What kind of projector is good for this application?
Thank you for this video!!! Will there be more tutorials to create a good/prefossional timecoded laser show or a tutorial for Beyond? (which I believe you also use for your online videos?)
I’ll see what I can do! Creating a video focused on the useful Beyond timeline features sounds like a good idea
@@vox.daemon Okay thanks ;) . I've only used Pangolin Quickshow so far, but I've been thinking about buying Beyond for a long time. Beyond will be for more professional purposes, right? Do you have many more options for creating a better laser show with Beyond or is it worth the extra charge compared to Quickshow? Or should you just get Beyond if you want to control more than 9 lasers? I don't make any money from it (yet).
Thanks for posting this! Thoughts on number of lasers for starting out for small indoor shows ( typical large house)? awesome!
Start out with two lasers. Programming will be easy since you’re just mirroring! If you go for an odd number you’ll have to get very intentional with your designs. If budget allows, try to grab some with at least 3W of power
@@vox.daemon Thanks!
Around the 6:22 mark could you potentially use the stuttering effect to potentially make “machine gun” lasers? I saw a video I don’t remember how long ago of a show where the dj had a machine gun effect with the lasers. It was bad ass! I don’t know if it’s really possible, but curious if you could give it a shot in a future video??
It definitely could be! I would probably pair it with a strobe effect (oscillating brightness w/ 2 discrete steps) and maybe an X position effect to give a sweeping motion. Great idea for a future video I like it
can you show how to setup 2 laser that show difference projectile
How much would you charge to Remote Desktop it and set it up for us?
Yesssss
man i cant order the lazer box thingies since its only in United states lmao. maybe someone knows an alternative?, im from Philippines
Wait what kind of lasers do you use?
I wonder what the name of the laser system?
Show what 3kae we can get for laser show
Great content.
I would say the background music is a little annoying for things like this. Now I need to fight the urge to buy a laser since I’ve only just seen this kind of thing and my ADHD will make me start a new hobby on a whim.
Is Quickshow compatible with Apple silicon?
I believe QuickShow will work properly using a mac with an Intel chip running Bootcamp. Not too sure about M series chips.
Any way to set this up with a DJ software??
Yes! You can connect it to VirtualDJ for beat syncing. If you use Beyond (the paid laser software) you can timecode your sets
came back to see if there was a second video coming out
Is there any way to Crack this program Quickshow?
I believe you need an FB3/4 to use QuickShow. It comes free with the controller
Be aware if you get caught using cracked versions of the software that you can get banned.
Sheeesh
🤩❇passionnant thank you for all these tips, I love your creations🤩😍
