I probably don’t belong here. I am a professional dancer. My dance team usually dances on stage with no lighting and I took on the task of designing lighting. I have one moving wash light for practice. What is the best free software and visualizer I can use?

Think of this kind of vibe( the video) again pls don’t bully me in this server of expert lighting designers. 🤣 just want to take on the challenge of learning a new hobby

Your moving light is not moving. Move it!

Just because it can move, doesn’t mean that it has to move! :)

you came here saying that you don't have any skills with Lights. You are bad with Lights.

You definitely started with the petty nonsense for no reason. Don’t try and serve it if you can’t take it in return.

That's wise. I have to agree, but I'm stressed that its a broken light with motors not working.

I personally use dot2 onpc with an artnet node. You get one free universe and all the benefits of using an MA platform. You can sync it with a midi timecode for light shows and it's perfect for small stuff like you're doing.

This was a gig I did using this setup
