I have 8 laser effects, each effect just around few seconds. And also I have a 3 minute video. The 8 laser effect appear during the video. How can I set the start time for each laser effect?

People generally use a timeline software for that, which sends MIDI or OSC to MadMapper. You can also use a lighting controller (DMX).

Some software options:
- Ableton Live (music software) - Intro version is enough
- Chataîne (macOS & Windows, free, timeline & logic) - https://benjamin.kuperberg.fr/chataigne/en
- Vezér (macOS only, timeline app): https://imimot.com/vezer/
- Ossia Score (all platforms, timeline & logic, free): https://www.google.com/search?client=fi ... ssia+score

With any of this application, you can put an audio file and change MadMapper parameters over time (activate a layer, change movie opacity, change color levels, trigger a cue...)
