Raymond, In the diagram below I have tried to show the effect of adding the "Zoom In" Style. In this case, all slides are 10s FSD and 4s Transition Duration. The Zoom In Style is then applied to Slide 2. The top half shows "before" and the bottom half is "after". You can see how the adding of a 7s FSD Style (with a 2s Transition Duration) moves all Transition Points following the addition of the Style. If the FSD of Slide 2 is changed to suit the original slide (in this case 10s) and the Transition Duration is changed to suit the original Transition (4s) then you are back where you started. V8.0.10 has been used. DG

The problem that I refered to here has been fixed in V8.0.10 DG

Raymond, See your PM. What I think that you have to remember is what I said earlier. You say your slide is 7s Duration - is that Slide Duration or Full Slide Duration (FSD)? If you are quoting Slide Duration then the equivalent FSD is 7 seconds PLUS the next Transition Duration. Example: Slide duration = 7 seconds (2s + 5s). If the next transition is 2s then the FSD = 9 seconds. When you apply your Zoom In Style it has an FSD of 7 seconds which includes the next transition, it is 2s less than your original FSD so it will have an effect on following slides. When using Slide Styles I find it MUCH easier to understand what is going on if "Show FSD" is ticked and the application of the Style is done in the SLIDE VIEW.. DG P.S. Please note that I have not used the KFSD term - that is a slightly different subject.

Patrick, It is the person who had the problem with the AV who needs to try it? DG

Patrick, It would be interesting to know if this alternative solves the problem with your / their AV. Would it be worth trying it with one colleague who would be able to open it?? Just as a trial.???? DG

Patrick, I have just downloaded your show without problems (MSE AV). I notice that you have zipped the EXE file. Safe Executable File For Internet is "supposed" to cure this kind of problem. Have you tried that?? DG

Yes, you are right. Both are from BB. DG

I think that both have been authorized ( this morning). On the rhs it says "added" and the date/time. DG

Styles? DG

My only suggestion is to post a BIZ with precise instructions of what you are doing? DG

Try clicking on "Set Defaults" and if that doesn't work for you then you could explore other options. Works for me on the rare occasions that I burn a DVD. DG

Try setting the full duration to 13.7 when you apply the style? DG

I think that would apply to both slide list and timeline. I can't get my head around it right now. I have asked Igor to comment. DG P.s. have you tried it or are you theorizing? I tried it this morning.

Snapcam, I can see a problem which I can't explain, but it only affects the last slide when the Style is applied in the Timeline. If you have 50 slides in the Slide List and apply the Style to slide 2 in the Timeline, only slide 50 is affected (its FSD is changed from 7 to 5). I will see if Igor has an explanation. Until then it might be a good idea to only apply styles in the Slide List? DG

The two diagrams below show the Slide List and the Timeline views. SHOW FSD is set. There is no difference between the before and after views when the ZOOM IN Style is applied to Slide 2. DG P.S. See next post.

The standard ZOOM IN Style has a duration of 7 s and a transition time of 2s. If I apply that to a slide which already has those settings it appears to make no difference whatsoever in the timline. The only difference is that when it is played it zooms in between zero and 7s for that slide (Full Slide Duration). That's the way it was designed. If you don't want the Zoom to run into the next slide simply go into O&A and drag the right hand KF for the image back to the beginning of the next slide's transition. Setting KFSD in this case makes no difference - it is the SHOW FSD which will make the difference between the Timeline and Slide List representations. Could you add a couple of diagrams (screen shots) showing before and after and indicate which slide you are applying the zoom to? DG

You can let PTE convert the WAV to mp3 to bring the file size down? DG

I can't find it so I do not think that Igor has "authorised / approved" it (yet). You might be able to see it but we cannot. DG

When you apply a Zoom Style you will see a control for "Full Duration". The value shown (initially) is the value of the Full Slide Duration used when creating the style. If you make this value equal to your existing Slide's Full Slide Duration your adjacent slides should not "move". The effect that I see in the Slide List is the same as the effect that I see in the Timeline - I have Keep Full Slide Duration and Show Full Slide Duration Ticked in Settings / Preferences / Project. The transition time built into the Zoom Slide Style is 2s and will reset your Transition Time to that value. If your Keep Full Slide Duration and Show Full Slide Duration controls are unticked you will see different values. Slide Styles work on Full Slide Duration. DG

MUR, Has it been authorized? Direct Link? DG

I use these: http://www.johnlewis.com/bose-companion-2-multimedia-speaker-system-series-iii/p531306 There are lots of variations by other makers. Try before you buy. DG P.S. These are Mains Powered and have two inputs - Computer and Auxilliary for MP3 player etc.

Ron, I have just pressed F4 and gone into Full Screen View of Slide List. I am able to re-order Slides in this View. Same thing applies to any other method of getting to the Full Screen View. DG

Erno, Firstly the resolution of your images is iirelevant to some degree because they are reduced to 768x576 to make the DVD. Depending on the quality of your DVD Player etc a DVD can be quite good when played through a DVD - but not as good as an EXE File played on a computer. I use a BluRay DVD Player to play my standard DVDs through my TV connected via a good quality HDMI cable and the results are good, but not in the same league as the EXE approach. Another alternative is to make a 1920x1080 MP4 and play that on your TV's Media Player (if available). DG
