Quickshow 2.0 BETA now available!

**Pangolin** · 08-20-2010, 07:04

Hi all,

Someone wrote to me and asked about the 2.0 BETA. I had actually already sent it out to a number of people by direct email, but perhaps the email got stuck in the spam filter of some, so here is the (140MB) download:
http://www.pangolin.com/_Files/QS_BETA_200.exe

By default, this will REALLY want to install in a C:\QS2 folder, thereby avoiding over-writing anything in your normal QS folder. That way, any workspaces or anything else you created will remain undisturbed (not that they would be disturbed anyway, but just incase...). However, note that once you've run this version of QuickShow, you will no longer be able to run build 128 ever again. All of your files can be used with the new version, but the older QS.EXE will no longer work.

This is a pretty good build, but there are a few known bugs. One of them has to do with the TTL mode. This is new. Just don't tell it that you have a TTL laser and everything will be fine. (If you tell it you have a TTL laser, everything will project in white...)

We have set the beam zone to 30 (instead of 7) and we are now wanting people to use zone 7 for beams that may project into an audience area, or over the heads.

When you load QS, you can go to the FILE menu and look at "Workspace description" which will tell you how to setup the zones.

Let me know via direct email if you experience any problems. But in any event, this should really be a strong build with brand new features and the latest workspace.

Best regards,

William Benner

Will QS 2.0 run without an FB3 attached?

I have a QM2000.Net, but would like to try out quickshow on my PC just to see what i'm missing

Cheers

Looking forward to the demo at SELEM!

QuickShow will always run without a FB3 attached -- once you have had an FB3 connected to your computer at least once.

Alternatively, if you already had a demo-version of an earlier build, simply install QS BETA into the same folder and it will run.

And lastly, if you've never had it and want to see it, just contact me and I will send you a special license code that will allow it to run even though you've never had an FB3 connected to your PC.

a) bill and pangolin never cease to surprise me. thanks for this bill.

b) downloaded!

**smokeAndMirrors** · 08-20-2010, 11:25

Questions: if I install the new version, will LiveQuick no longer function? (or is there an updated version of LQ?)

Alternatively: is there support in QS2 for the SD card so that I no longer need to use LiveQuick?

**White-Light** · 08-20-2010, 14:02

Been having a play.

Love the expanded quick effects and the expanded selection of atmospherics. Far more suitable for nightclub use than previous versions which were great for shows but not so great for clubs. Many of the QuickFX also enable beams to be changed in ways that almost create new effects out of existing cues thereby effectively expanding the cue selection.

Thumbs up so far Bill.

If I had the equipment I could really upest some of the big clubs around here with this by trumping their effects! I foresee a clammer for Pangolin products.

Huh?

**norty303** · 08-20-2010, 17:00

I think if you've installed to a different folder path from the previous installation you'll need to connect the FB3 for the first run (although might be mistaken, easiest just to try it

)

**White-Light** · 08-20-2010, 17:56

If you have a licence file from previous beta testing then copy the licence file to the new QS folder.

I found I had to do this several times (and remove it each time) before I finally got it to work.

Note as well that QS 2.0 Beta installs to a different place than previous versions - c drive then QS2 folder.

Inside it should look like this ie. Your licence file should be in the main folder:

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

The QS Hardware configuration icon appears after its been run for the 1st time.

**smokeAndMirrors** · 08-21-2010, 18:07

Cheers guys, up and running.

**infredible** · 08-21-2010, 18:59

Great new version! I like that if I use the gamma curve and the RGV palette (I'm running 445) I'm having much more success at balancing my whites and get a lot more color nuances. Great addition. I'm sure when I'm going to spend more time with it I'm going to enjoy it even more. Thanks Pangolin, t'was worth the wait.

Fred.

**DPSS** · 08-23-2010, 04:57

At last, can't wait to get home tonight and give it a try.

Thanks Bill.

Probably overlooking something, can anybody tell me what causes volumetric rendering in the preview window ? Can I turn it on/off per page or per cue ?

I think its in settings -> projection zones -> preview

You set the preview to graphics or beams per projection zone.

X2! I really think that the layout of QS2 is right up my alley for show programming.

Ditto!

Just remember its still Beta. There are only a couple of minor bugs but I wouldn't deploy it yet for a mission critical application such as professional display use. Wait for the 2.0 release and keep the beta for evaluation.

It is awesome though.

**ElektroFreak** · 09-03-2010, 16:13

The worst I've seen in terms of issues with the QS2 beta builds I've tried is that in a recent build a couple of the controls weren't centered properly, but that's now been fixed. Functionality has been great so far for me with each build I've tried, but I haven't even come close to exploring all this program has to offer.

**instinct** · 09-10-2010, 01:09

Loving it.

**Things** · 09-10-2010, 10:56

If you are still reading this, one thing I found out the hard way.

Some windows wont fit properly on my eeepc screen. With netbook prices dropping, I thought it'd probably be handy if the windows were resizeable in a way. For example, the geometric correction window in QS, I can't get to the OK button because it's too long for the screen.

Cheers,
Dan

**White-Light** · 09-10-2010, 11:25

Dan drop a line to Bill @ Pangolin via there web site page. Now's a good time as he's currently considering some other issues.

He doesn't always read here that often.
