Features
Other Scripting Methods

COBRA Show Creator offers a variety of features to support all levels of scripting from basic STEP scripts to full pyromusical design. For any questions on COBRA Show Creator, please contact us at [email protected].

Scripting Flexibility

COBRA Show Creator allows for the creation of several different types of scripts:

Timed Event Scripts
Timed event scripting allows you to pre-plan your entire show and fire it automatically with a single press of a button. There is no limit on the number of cues or the number of channels you can fire simultaneously within a hundredth of a second resolution. Just press one button, sit back, and watch your show.

STEP Scripts
STEP scripting allows you to pre-design a manual show using Excel, COBRA Show Creator, or an integrated third-party software and simplifies execution by allowing a single button press for each event. A STEP script enables an operator to bounce between modules, fire different cues, as well as fire multiple modules and cues simultaneously. STEP scripting is beneficial because it allows the exhibitor to watch the show and see when specific cakes or effects finish before executing the next event. Just press the STEP button each time you want to fire the next pre-planned event.

STEP / Timed Event Scripts
STEP / Timed event scripting combines manual firing intermixed with sequences executed by pressing the STEP button through each event. This feature is excellent for adding chases/timed sequences to a STEP script, for instance, and adds a level of professionalism to the show. This method can also be used to add pauses between sections of timed event scripts. For example, if the operator wants the script to pause between songs to allow for smoke to clear or for a specific effect to finish.

Pyromusical Support

COBRA Show Creator has full pyromusical support by supporting show creation to music and also integration into the COBRA Audio Box. You can load a soundtrack MP3 file to the software and design your show by adding events to the waveform. When finished, you can export the audio file and COBRA script file directly from the software to your COBRA USB Drive.

Web-Based / Offline Mode

With a web-based design, COBRA Show Creator is compatible with PC and MAC. Only Google Chrome is required to use this software. The software can be used on one device at a time. A built-in timer will log you out after 30 minutes of inactivity, making sure you will always be able to log in on the device you want to use, even if you forgot to close the software.

Unique to web-based applications, COBRA Show Creator features an offline mode. After opening the software once, it can be used offline with limited features on that device. This allows for editing and exporting a script while in a field location without internet access.

Desktop Shortcut

COBRA Show Creator can be installed as a Chrome application. Once installed, a shortcut will be created on the desktop. Clicking on the shortcut will open COBRA Show Creator in its own window, separate from the Google Chrome browser.

Dynamic Waveform

COBRA Show Creator features a customizable waveform allowing you to change the color highlighting, the peak height, and playback speed. Additionally, the waveform can be magnified up to 10 times allowing for the exact placement of cues down to the hundredth of a second. Events durations, pre-fire and lift times are now stacked and layered under the waveform to give visual access to start and stop points for a more convenient experience.

Auto-Incrementing Cues

When entering a channel into an event, the cue number is automatically set to the lowest, unused cue. This allows you to easily add effects to your script without having to track or spend time finding an open cue and manually assigning every effect. This feature is optional and can be turned off from personal settings if you have a previously established method of assigning cues.

Personal Fireworks Database

Keep track of all your commonly used effects from your favorite vendors and easily add these to your script. You can set lift and pre-fire times for these effects. In addition to creating your own fireworks, the software offers complete WikiFireworks integration allows you to quickly and easily import fireworks from their database of over 55,000 consumer effects. When a firework is added, all data from the Wiki is added including the effect name, brand, description, duration, number of shots, lift times, and a YouTube video of the effect.

Embedded YouTube Videos

An embedded Youtube video player allow you to easily visualize what an effect looks life. Videos can be added manually or to an effect and will be imported automatically when adding fireworks from WikiFireworks

Reporting & Labels

Within COBRA Show Creator, you have access to several different reports:

Cue Labels
Automatically generated labels for product. These labels will contain the product name, channel, and cue for that specific product. The labels are customizable to allow you to visualize and use a layout that will work best for you. A label will be created for every effect in your show. These reports are sized to be printed on Avery 5160, 5260, & 8160 labels or equivalents.

Module Report
A report showing every module and cue in your show. The report lists each module and channel in chronological order by module channel and cue, along with the corresponding effects for each cue.

Cue Report
A report showing in chronological order by timeframe, each effect, and the corresponding channel and cue.

Product List
A complete list of all products and quantities used in the script.

Live Chat / Customer Support

Future Improvements

COBRA Show Creator is just the foundation of an ongoing platform. We will be continuing to add features, functionality, and improvements to this software.
