Learn the builder step by step.
This is your complete visual guide to Elevated Show Builder™ — from adding your first product to organizing the timeline, changing start times, layering effects, reviewing your finale and turning the completed plan into your fireworks order.
Use the screenshots throughout this guide while you have Show Builder™ open in another tab.
Build and experiment before buying.
See supported fireworks inside the visualizer.
Reorder and adjust when products start.
Move from your completed plan into purchasing.
Follow the builder in this order.
Keep this page open while using Show Builder™ and jump to whatever step you need.
Open Elevated Show Builder™.
Start by opening the actual Show Builder™. You can use this guide in a second tab and move back and forth while building.
Open the Show Builder™ page and allow the experience to fully load before you start adding products.
On desktop, keep the guide in one tab and Show Builder™ in another.
You do not need to know every firework you will use before starting.
Show Builder™ is most useful when you add, compare and rearrange products instead of trying to create the perfect sequence immediately.
Add fireworks into your show.
Use eligible products from Elevated Fireworks™ and add the items you want to preview. The product list becomes the working lineup for your display.
Start with your favorite cakes, finale items or must-have effects.
If you are deciding between multiple products, put them into the builder and compare them.
The next steps are where you start moving products into the right sequence.
Knowing what you may want to finish with helps prevent you from using all of your strongest products in the beginning.
Learn what each part of the builder does.
The Show Builder™ interface is split between the effect preview and your show controls. Once you understand those two areas, the rest becomes much easier.
The large viewing area shows the supported firework effect as you preview the display.
The Show Builder panel contains the products currently in your display.
Each item can be positioned at a specific point in your planned sequence.
Use the timeline and playback tools to review the display from beginning to end.
The builder provides controls for saving or sharing parts of the show experience.
Drag products into the order you want.
Reordering the product list changes how you think about the display. Build the show as a sequence instead of a random list of fireworks.
Opening
Start with something that gets attention without immediately using your biggest effects.
Build
Increase color, pace and effect variety as the display develops.
Peak Moments
Use a few larger moments in the middle to keep the show exciting.
Finale
Reserve your fullest or fastest section for the finish.
Pick something visually strong enough to start the show without using your finale too early.
Several similar colors or effect styles in a row can make the middle feel repetitive.
Give yourself something noticeably larger to build toward.
Different pacing, colors and visual styles make a sequence feel more deliberate.
Set the start time for each product.
Start-time controls help you control pacing. This is where you eliminate long gaps, tighten slower sections and create deliberate overlaps.
Decide whether the next product should begin after it ends or slightly before.
Long pauses can make the show feel disconnected unless you intended the pause for dramatic effect.
Play the sequence and check whether the next product arrives too early or too late.
Actual performance can vary, so real-world setup still needs to account for product instructions and safe operation.
Overlap products to create bigger moments.
Products can be layered in your planned sequence. Use this carefully for sections that should feel noticeably larger than the rest of the show.
Layering works best when you intentionally use it for a peak section or finale.
Different visual heights, colors and effect styles can create more depth than repeated copies alone.
More fireworks are not automatically better. Remove anything that muddies the visual result.
If everything is layered throughout the entire show, your finish will have less room to feel bigger.
Build the finale after the rest of the show.
Once your opening and middle are set, you know how much intensity you need to exceed in the final section.
Build intensity instead of starting at maximum.
Begin clean and controlled.
Mix effects and color.
Give the middle a big moment.
Give the finale room to grow.
End with the strongest section.
You may have used too much pace, overlap or intensity before reaching the ending.
Preview the entire show from beginning to end.
Do not only replay your favorite products. The most important test is whether the complete sequence feels like one show.
Ask whether the display starts confidently and gets attention quickly enough.
Look for repetition, long pauses or too many products that look alike.
The show should feel like it is building toward the finale instead of simply stopping.
A shorter, cleaner show can be better than a longer sequence with unnecessary products.
Save the show before leaving.
The current Show Builder™ auto-saves progress to your device, making it easier to pause and continue later. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Locally saved progress may be tied to the browser and device you used.
Clearing local site data can affect saved builder information.
Product availability and pricing can change while you are planning.
Turn your plan into your fireworks order.
Once you are happy with the sequence, the builder is designed to help you move from the planned display into purchasing through Elevated Fireworks™. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Fix common show-planning problems.
If the show does not feel right, you usually do not need to start over.
The show feels too slow.
Tighten the start times and reduce unnecessary dead space between products.
The middle feels repetitive.
Move similar colors and effects apart or replace one with something visually different.
The finale feels weak.
Reduce earlier intensity or reserve more layered and faster products for the finish.
I added too many products.
Remove items that do not add a new effect, pacing change or meaningful moment.
I don't know where to start.
Choose your finale first, then pick a simple opener and fill the middle afterward.
I don't want to build the show myself.
Use the Show Starter™ Series instead for a pre-built display package. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
The digital preview is a planning tool.
Actual fireworks performance and setup can differ from the 3D preview. Product labels, local rules, safe distances, weather and site conditions still control how the real display should be handled.
The builder helps you organize your sequence. It does not override manufacturer instructions, applicable laws, safe distances or site-specific conditions.
Quick answers while you're building.
Keep the guide open and start building.
Add your products, organize the order, adjust your start times, layer your bigger moments, review the complete show and build a finale that actually feels like a finale.
