Downloaded MA3 onPC awhile ago but fell out of it cause it was so overwhelming and grandMA videos weren't enough. This is the greatest crash course video I've seen out there. Thank you so much for making this video
Thanks so much Skylar! Glad to help out - be sure to Like and Subscribe :) J
Great help for someone just starting with MA and wanting to self teach for the moment! Thanks!
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful! J
One of the best Tutorials I've seen. Just getting everyone set up to actually do some usefull stuff and move on from there. This was unbelivable helpful and I feel like I have the right basis for getting deeper into every single function now while already having a workable baseline. Thank you so much!
Awesome, thank you Philip! J
Its been 2 years and this video is still helpfull
Thankyou so much man this helped so much, I got grandma 3 and I was clueless lol, I’ve used grandma but nothing else and I was completely clueless when it came to this thankyou
came across this video by accident.... ive used show express all my life and had a mental block with GMA .... this was encouraging... great breakdown..
MY MAN! thank you so much for this, had many years experience on other software but never had anything MA. I have a Command wing coming soon and wanted to learn MA3 on pc, Only wish I had known that the new Mac M1 CPU won't work with MA3 on PC hopefully they get it released soon than later.
If work on my Mac mini M1
good video, thanks!
I have watch this video 10 times and evrytime i see things that i diden't see before i learn so much of your video thanks men🥰
Thank you so much for this video. It really helped me A LOT! Fantastic!
Amazing tutorial. Really good teaching style.
Thanks a lot! J
you legend
thank you
Thank you for this was a great intro into the grandm3
My church is upgrading from MA2 to MA3. Everything is still super confusing (esp phaser controls) and I have 1 month to learn everything. This video is my training
thanks jonathan from turkey,you told very clean...
I accidentally found you can store by holding down on the square u wanna put it in and dragging to the side (an option for store appears).
Dunno if you dont know about this or chose not to use it.
Anyhow im just getting into MA and this is helping a tone. I just wanna make virtual displays and the goal is to at some point buy some cheap lights and have a home party room
I'm trying to store but on the right side I only have 4 buttons with no blank ones..
thank you! :)
Looking for help on how to lamp on a fixture!
Thanks will bookmark your ch.
you can also long click to save in a pool. and you can also use thru commands in 3d
Hey, love the tutorial so far, I am coming from ma 2 and mainly looking for the new stuff. That being said, 14 min in and I see your "store" Methods of typing or going to command overlay. You should be able to make a macro for "Store" then you could add that to your "My screen" in future tutorials, The keyword here is Should since I haven't tried that on 3 yet.... Hope that helps.
Great video. Thank you
This is great, thank you. I really wish you'd slow down a a bit though, there's a lot of you ending sentences so quickly you can barely understand what you said, then you click through things really quickly, it gives the feeling that you are impatient which is kinda distracting, and requires a bit of rewinding. Hope that's constructive criticism. Thanks again!
hello, I have a problem, I have made the dimmer presets and colour presets but when I click them nothing happens, I have the fixtures selected, and have followed the video though multiple times, i have no idea what the problem is
Thank you, really, you are amazing!
Thank you very much for that content
if you look closely, you may see something in the dark
but great vid
Thanks so much for the MA3 primer. I love how customizable everything is.
When I was following along, I had issues building sequences out of existing my existing presets. I imagine this is related to the fact that sequences are stored in the preset window? Is there a setting or key combination I overlooked that would allow me to build sequences out of my existing color/position/gobo presets?
Thanks again!
Great tutorial, you can use the align / which will make life alot easier when positioning fixtures in 3D
@@JonathanDMartinLD Yeah, I want to check out VW, I played with Capture some
@@JonathanDMartinLD Hey I’m new to this. What’s vw?
@@JonathanDMartinLD ah thanks. And thank you for making this tutorial it helped me a lot with the basics of the program
thanks so much man
how can i put the dimmer on a fader??
Get the values you want in the programmer, "Store" to an executor, and you're good to go! J
I just installed Grand MA onPC v1.5.2.3, and all it does is crash and reboot itself, over and over again. MA support does not seem to be responsive. I cannot get your opening screen to come up. Can you maybe provide some tips for how to install and get the program to run? It would be wonderful if I could start this crash course at the same place you did.
Maybe calling it a "crash course" is a little too true to life for me, but I am finding it all a little too frustrating.
coming from Chamsys I have to say this is all so extremely complicated and takes so long to setup....crazy the tuturial is good just talking bout MA
It's definitely a learning curve... J
yeah, work!!!
How can you see a fixture number when you're in 3D? I know you can type it in, but if you're thumbing through...is there a quicker way? Thanks!
Hi have a real problem and can not find a solution.
for example, as soon as I open the demo show in GrandMa3, beams, gobo and spot are displayed correctly. As soon as I click once again on the 3d window, all beams and spots disappear and the lamp only lights up (like a LED fixture) without producing any beams. I can't undo this either. In the render option all beams etc. are activated with over 100%. Can someone possibly help me?
Thanks and greetings
👌🏻👌🏻 thanks for this
PauseBreak key on the keyboard also toggles desk lock, in my experience
Hey, thanks for tutorial, realy helpufl.
But I have this problem - in 3d no dimmer, like no gobo or somthing, programems show that it is open
Interesting. I recommend reaching out to your local MA distributor for assistance. J
U BEST!!!
Being a newbie I'm trying to follow your steps. But what are you doing at 15:35 "go all the way back and do an open"? I can't follow you:)
Gràcies!
is there a way to make a sequence stored on an executor button (not slide) turn off on the last click without using the off button? I turned off the wrap around, but the sequence just stays on the last cue.
Hey there! Newbie here and I really appreciate you making this video. I cant seem to get my lights to show any beams in 3d. I turn the dimmer to 100 and nothing happens. Is there something I can do to fix this? Im following the tutorial step by step and my lights dont illuminate when yours do. Thanks!
Hey Jason, shoot an email to your local MA distributor (ACT entertainment if you're in the US) and they'll be able to help! J
Did you find out? I've got the same problem.
Is there a hotkey toi bring up the command window
you should learn more about keyboard shortcuts
Thank you man , keep up the good work . Cheers
Do I need loopMidi to be able to use internal timecode?
how to movement preset
great help / but please slow down on cursor movements
so i created a red to blue phaser.. and now when i snap to a static color.. its still phasing? is there a step im missiing? i'm stuck here
Yep! You'll need to make a stomp preset to stop the phaser or it will just change one of the steps in your phaser to whichever color you pick next.
18:36 you have actualy and easier way of doing this. which u could related to as if a fixture was placed the wrong way on stage. you could have gone into the patch and inverted it that way , which wiould be equal to a live scenario
@@JonathanDMartinLD ah oke XD
just watching this now can anyone help me my screen is zoomed in the app how can i zoom out
you prob have smaller screen than him
Hey! How do you get your ui bigger? for e.g, you have 11 rows, i only have 10.
It can depend on the size of your computer screen, if you're using onPC
great video!!! im new with this, im following all your steps, at 8:26 on this video My 3d stage is blak there is no room, how can i see it???, also to store my screen 7:06 i need to change my display hide my encoder bar and my command line so i can see an empty boox on the right, how did you get your empty buttons to show on the right
@@JonathanDMartinLD Hi Jonathan, Thank you for replying, I am from Ecuador so i cant call them but i wrote them an email and have not recived an answer yet. where can i send you the screenshot so you can see it?.
Basicaly the 3d stage window is only black i dont see the stage, i do see the 3d cursor when placing lights, but no stage and dont see the lights either, only a black background on the 3d window.
@@JonathanDMartinLD Hi Jonathan i just sent you the email to your gmail, hope you can helpme because so far i havent been able to solve it, thank you!!!
@@FrankElDragon How did you solve it? I cant see the empty box for store the screen too
@@luca1224 I never solved it, I swithced programs and am using showxpress now.
@@FrankElDragon thank you for answer. Why did you choose to change software ?
I need help on positioning
What's up? J
@@JonathanDMartinLD when i click next, it wont spawn a new one
How do i download the software?
You can download it for free here: www.malighting.com/downloads/products/grandma3/ - Enjoy!! J
@@JonathanDMartinLD Just wonder what one is it as they've got so much I could download.
@@mrepic5733 If you are using it on a computer, choose either the MacOS or Windows option!
Just found out about this new version. Installed it and I'm getting a very stupid warning that prevents me from launching the software. I'm absolutely certain the warning is for drooling computer illiterates, not for me, so how do I bypass it?
@@JonathanDMartinLD No, I'm using Windows and getting a popup that says my computer doesn't have enough cores, and the program exits.
@@JonathanDMartinLD I don't own a console, I use a touchscreen setup... but I don't see how a distributor is going to help solve an arbitrary limitation the software developers deliberately put in to cut down on their support calls.
damn.. i'm coming from Avolites Titan.... This GrandMA Software it's very very hard to use/understand.... How you can do that? o_o'
@@JonathanDMartinLD sure, I will do it! I really like how you teach the software :) another basic question: on Avo if I need a fixture request they create it for me in some days (also its 3D version). On MA how it works? Since it works with 3D, every fixture has got a counterparts in 3D? Thanks!
@@JonathanDMartinLD thanks!
Can I get timestamps
MA needed a major update bad, so I'm glad to see MA3. Although all the boomer LDs are already bitching and moaning about how different things are. They just need to retire if they can't learn new software.
iris wontgo thinner on 3d
Iris is not currently visualized in MA3 3d. J
its not that hard as i thought

Hello, my command line has been changed, now instead show me the USER/FIXTURE> it is showing me:
USER@showdata/Livepatch/Stages/Stage 1/Fixtures>
Anyone knows what is the shortcut to turn it back to the original?
