ILDA FILES LIBRARY
Laser Show Files
1,600+ original ILDA files for your laser projector, all included with one plan. Beam shows, beat-timed cues, holiday line art and dancing characters, ready for your show software or SD card.
Free to start · No credit card · Nothing to install
A BeamTracer plan with Laser downloads every file in the ILDA Files library: 1,600+ original laser show files for projectors, SD cards and show software. Pro with Laser, Bundle and Studio all include it, with no monthly download limit, and new files download as soon as they are added. You can preview every file free in your browser first, and 42 of them download free once you confirm your email.
WHAT DOES A SUBSCRIPTION INCLUDE?
Every file in the library
All 1,600+ files, not one pack at a time: beam shows in six color packs, mirror and radial beat patterns, tunnels, waves, geometry, holiday line art and dancing characters.
New files as they are added
New looks and packs join the library while you are subscribed, and your plan downloads them as soon as they appear. Product updates emails tell you when they land.
No download limits
Download as many files as you like, as often as you like. Library downloads do not count against your clean ILDA exports.
A whole pack on one SD card
Filter the library to a pack and use SD CARD to save it as one ZIP, in ILDA Format 5 or in Format 0 for older SD-card projectors.
Yours to keep
Files you download stay yours if your plan ends. You can still preview the whole library; only new premium downloads stop.
Play them at paid gigs
Use the files in your shows, events, videos and client work. The one rule: do not resell them or put them in other file packs.
SEE WHAT YOU GET
A few of the premium files, one from each kind of look. Point at a card to play it, or open it to watch it as beams in haze. Each card lists the frames, point rate and frame rate the file needs.
