Sorry Igor I know I'm a pain but I can't log on to this forum on my PC (only my phone).
I've tried changing my password on my phone but it says that the current password I am entering is incorrect.
I'm going round in circles here.

Igor....I actually have two problems at present.
1) I have just bought a "new" PC and can't find my License Key to activate PTE v9 after downloading it. (this topic on FAQ is out of date).
2) I can't remember my login password for this site, I have checked "remember me" on my phone so can get on that way but nit on my PC. I've clicked on "forgotten password" but I don't seem to be getting an email to reset it.
Thank you.

Having the ability to pull keframes before the start and after the finish of a slide allows the user to share effects on one slide with the timeline of the preceding or following slide. You can't possibly absorb all the nuances without actually experiencing the need.
Best regards,
Lin
Believe me I know, and have, the need for this effect but had no idea it could be done.
I think you have seen my AV "Can you tell what it is Yet?"
That was all about the transitions and not the actual images. I got frustrated that I couldn't get the next transition to start early enough. I actually tried overlapping the start of one transition with the end of the previous one (the overlap turns red as a warning) but that doesn't work.
I will have to investigate that possible solution.
-
I just about followed what you were saying Lin but, as Jill said, I still don't really get the idea of things happening before the first keyframe.
When you open O&A surely it automatically sets the first keyframe at the very start of the slide and the last one at the end. You can move them if you want to or just add more

Anything that you add to a slide is an "object" - that is why it is called Objects and Animation.
An Image Object; a Text object etc.
DG
Thanks DG but why would you want to "hide" them and why are they before or after the key points?
-
Following the philosophy of better to expose yourself as being ignorant than go on actually not knowing something.....
What are "objects"? Before or after the key points.

I always used to call it PicturesToEx with a silent second "e" but noticed a while back that most pronounce the last "e"
-
PicturesToAV seems the obvious choice if a change is deemed necessary.
As in "ToAV" and to hold lol
-
Personally I can't see any problems with the name PicturesToEXE but it is a shame that the EXE files have to be zipped and, especially, download to view them.
I don't know the ins and outs of it but sites like YouTube don't require you to download to view, in fact it is quite difficult to download from YouTube (for copyright reasons).
-
That would be brilliant, not only for the issue with file size but for ease of viewing the shows.
I really don't like downloading shows to view them and it doesn't even work on my phone.

If nothing else, the discussion in this thread will help him (Tomcatred55) to see that a frame in PTE is a very different animal from the idea of a border, which he is confusing it with.

Could it be the title of the thread, and on the video, that gave me the idea of a "border" rather than a "frame".

My point is that there is a need to be able to rotate an image that is inside a Frame without rotating the border. For example, what if the horizon of an image is not level and you have it inside a Frame (with a border and with a less than 100% zoom)? Instead of having to use an outside photo-editing program to make the adjustment, it would be easier to just do it in the Frame. So many additional possibilities for animation will become available.
Gary
Again I suggest editing pictures before putting them into PTE but that is just my own preference.
Could you not rotate the image before applying the border if you are to edit from within PTE?
I must admit I thought you were talking about an image rotating during the show, whilst it's border stayed still.
-
Thanks Lin.
I like the idea of animating the pieces but I do find that example over complex for my tastes.
-
I'd also like to try the "dollyzoom" effect by moving my camera ever closer to an object whilst zooming out, so the object stayed the same size in the frame but the background opened out.
Or a "bullet time" effect, where I move the camera around an object so that the background is ever changing but the object stays central.

Unless I've misunderstood as well, I think what Gary is referring to is the same idea, but using an image inside a frame ie. to rotate the image inside the frame without the frame itself rotating.
Regards
wideangle
Why would you want to do that? That would look awful, in my opinion.
-
Each to their own wideangle but I prefer to edit before opening PTE.

The serious thing lacking from Framing is that fact you can't yet rotate an image in a frame. Still hoping Igor will fix it.
Gary
You can if you add the frame to the image in a photo editing programme before putting it in the project.
-
What ideas and projects are people working on?
I realise that some may be reluctant to divulge this information as they want to "keep their powder dry" or the project may not come to fruition but it would be interesting to hear what people are up to.
Personally I want to try a puzzle AV and I like camera tricks, like differential focus etc, so I might go out to take some pictures specifically for a show (let's face it we rarely do that do we).
-
The more I learn about PTE the more amazed I am.
Having said that I will still continue to edit my pictures before putting them in to a project.

Great idea. Download CS-6 and do a fresh install. Although Bridge is a part of Photoshop CS-6, its not listed separately. So Tom should have the disk that contains Bridge
Here is where you will find it
Perhaps Tom can let us know how he gets on
Slightly confused Barry.
davegee suggested that Bridge would be listed separately to CS6 and you say it isn't.
Also do you mean "download" or re-install from a disk?

Have you actually looked to see if Bridge is installed on your computer, because if it isn’t all the searching in the world won’t find it..
Difficult to know how I would find it I don't look for it lol.
Seriously though how do I find out?
-

Is it greyed out like some of the options in my screen grab above?
I honestly can’t remember the steps involved from when I installed CS6 but maybe there was the option at the time to include or exclude Bridge.
Regards
wideangle
No it isn't greyed out but nothing happens when I click on it.
Not too bothered about Bridge though to be honest.
-
Ctrl+c Ctrl+v is about the only the only keyboard shortcut I know (for "copy" "paste" if course).
I'll try to remember Ctrl+z, although not necessarily in Photoshop as very action is listed in the "history" box and you can jump back a large number of actions.

Just testing and you both passed, well done lol
License Key [SOLVED]

No it's not letting me change my password (on my smart phone) as it says the "current password" that I enter is incorrect, yet I logged on with it when you sent me the email.
I can't log on at all on my PC (only my phone).
