Fireworks Show Creator

The Fourth of July.  Bastille Day.  Baseball games.  The Olympics.  How many traditional summer activities have been sidelined this year during Covid-19?  And how many of them typically feature a glorious fireworks show?

Use Fireworks Show Creator to create your own virtual fireworks shows.  Select a piece of music and a background and then arrange a variety of customizable fireworks shells to create your masterpiece.

Directions:

• Use the play/pause control to the right of the timeline to start and stop the show (the space bar works, as well).
• Use the two pull-down menus above the timeline to change the song and the background scenery.
• Double-click on the timeline to add a firework shell.  Use the firework editor to choose a shell style and customize its look and launch parameters. 
• Double-click on a marker in the timeline to edit its parameters or to delete it using the firework editor.  You can also drag and drop these markers to adjust the shell's timing.
• NEW!! Press the Record icon to record part or all of your show as an MPEG-4 file.  When it is recording, the icon turns red.  Press it again when you are done recording and choose a filename and location to save the exported file.  NOTE: You must download and install ffmpeg separately and it must be in your computer's PATH for recording to work.
• The ESC key brings up a pause menu that includes the ability to save and load your shows.
