  1. Actual slideshow timing different from timeline

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    OK I did a series of test. Making slides end with music remains a problem.

    I have 30 slides (of very small size), and a song for 3 minutes. The default length for each slide is 4 seconds, so total slide duration by default is 2 min.

    I was unable to have it automatically synchronized to the duration of the music. The box for "synchronize slideshow to music duration" in Project Options was indeed checked, and in the Timeline box "Automatic Synchronization" was selected.

    What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

  2. Actual slideshow timing different from timeline

    Most of my slides are 4 seconds but some have been shortened so the whole set of 90 slides fit into the 5:30 music.

    The timeline does show that music and slides should end at the same time.

    However, in real preview execution, slides out run music.

    Music is mp3 format, some image files are very big, up to 2-3 mb each image; but my computer should be able to handle that without any problem.

    I'm gonna do more test with a shoter version. I'll report back what I find.

  7. Static in Windows XP Voice Recording

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi, I am using Windows XP's built in voice recorder to record some narrative wav file. It turned out there is audible static sound during the silence between words. The static sound volume is just 1/5 of the real speech, but it is still bothersome. I'm wondering:

    1. Has anyone have the same experience (Could it be my computer's problem)?

    2. Could it be from other near by appliances?

    3. Any suggestion on the fix?

    Thanks.

  9. Have you used Sora 918SU digital voice recorder?

    Hi,

    I have been shopping for a digital voice recorder and have zeroed in on a model by Sora, the 918SU. Below is a link to the best-price vendor I've found.

    From the product description I think it has the main features I'm looking for. But so far I've only been able to read the product description and promo by manufacturer and nothing more. I'm wondering if anyone has used it before and can give me a third-party review of this device. Thanks in advance.

  10. Can I extract images from a PTE .exe file?

    Thanks guys. I think I'm gonna have to resort to the least desirable option here.

    The pictures were on a computer in my former company, so I can't do anything to try to restore it.

    I do remember I sent a copy to Shutterfly.com for printing before, but that's a long time ago and my account doesn't seem to be active now. I may try to contact them to see if they still have my file somewhere but I'm not counting on that.

    My original picture is indeed much bigger than the screen but at this point, I can only get what I can get....*sigh*

    Again, thanks a lot!!!

  13. Hardware for Capturing Video

    in General Discussion

    Whew, lots of info to digest... The videoguys.com site is great, Dana, but it's gonna take me another 2 weeks :P to figure everything out....

    In the mean time, plz let me ask this other question. If I get a Digital camcorder, will I be able to hook the input end to my TV to record TV programs, and then hook up output end to my computer to download and do further processing/CD burning?

    Thanks Jim...

    I'm in exactly the same situation... I'll get a digital camcorder soon, but I still got lots of analog footage to go through.

    This will be my first foray into video editing. Can you comment on my equipment a bit to see whether I'm prepared for the project??

    I have:

    Pentium 3 processor

    256 MB RAM

    600 HMz

    10 GigaByte left on Harddrive

    USB connection port for CD Writer and video capturing device

  16. Hardware for Capturing Video

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I have an analog video camcorder, with which I have shot lots of video footage on Hi-8 tapes. I want to start editing the video and need a hardware to capture/digitize the footages first.

    A trip to Circuit City revealed that Dazzle has several models for this purpose. There is also a device by Belkin @ $99, which seems pretty straightforward.

    I'm wondering if anyone has experience in this area and can give me some more info and recommendations. Thanks.

  18. Who has Voice-to-Text knowledge?

    in General Discussion

    Sorry about this off-topic, but it seems that I can't get any expert opinion on this anywhere... So I'd like to give it a try here.

    I'm looking for a dictation device. Olympus came out with this very attractive voice recorder DS-330 about 6 months ago that claims to be able to, among other features, operate with IBM's ViaVoice technology/software so recorded voice files can be uploaded into a comuter, process by the software into text format.

    Here is a full description:

    http://www.medword.com/MedwordStore/TPC/Re...mpus_DS330.html

    If it works, this would be very desirable to me. Problem is, I have not been able to find a working demonstration of this process, nor can I find any review of this particular function. My question is:

    1. Does anyone have experience with this device?

    2. Does anyone know any other device that achieve the same purpose?

    Thanks a lot!!!!
