The demo version of Capture has been downloaded by more than 30 000 people during the past fifteen years. We have received a lot of requests for a working version for students, and as we always listen to our users we have now created the Capture Polar Student Edition. It´s for free!

I just downloaded the student edition to see what the limitations are since they are not fully listed anywhere in detail on the site. When I ran the program there was no library so I couldn't set up a stage or set up lights or anything. I tried to import the library file but it didn't show up after I restarted the program. It also wouldn't open any of my previous save files as well. I use the basic version and want to know what all the limitations are for the student version. I like the program and would like to be able to recommend it to students I work with.

Hi stagedude,

I'm troubled to hear that the library doesn't update for you! If you could e-mail us some details (such as OS, does it crash or simply do nothing?) to support@ maybe we can sort it out!

As for the limitations, they are explained on the download page.

I have also downloaded and installed the student version, an issue I am running into is the software crashing when I try to access certain menus or views in the library/design window. Another problem is that fixtures will not emit any light to emulate 'looks' onstage. (I am running a Windows 7 Intel Pentium Dual Core Processor with 6 gb of ram). I am thinking the last 'issue' is just one of the limitations of the student version, but I was looking for lighting fixtures manufactured by Blizzard Lighting? Specifically the Puck Q12/A, Torrent 90, and NorthStar Quantum Pro. Thanks, much appreciation!

Hi theatergeek92,

You should definitely be able to output light from fixtures - this is no limitation. I would recommend updating your graphics card drivers!

As for the fixtures you mention, the Student Edition intentionally comes with a limited library. The fixtures you refer to are available in the full version of course!
