Jose, At Beechbrook there is a drop down menu where you can view all show titles - try that? DG

The results of this Bridgend 5 to 8 Photo Harmony Competition were announced today and are appended below. The event draws a large number of entries from a wordwide AV community and gets bigger every year. This year around 84% of the entries were produced in PicturesToExe and included the Winner, both Runners Up and a Highly Commended. Some of you might recognize IAN BATEMAN's name in the HIGHLY COMMENDED section? Bridgend 2014 5 to 8 Competition Results The results of the 2014 5 to 8 Competition for PhotoHarmony digital AV sequences are as follows: Winner – Wantage Camera Club – One Day Like This Runner-up – Malcolm Imhoff – On Higher Ground Runner-up – Adri van Oudheusden – One Fine Day (South Africa) Highly Commended – Ian Bateman – Catalunyan Morning Highly Commended – Nellian Bekker – Fantasie d’Eau (South Africa) This year’s winning sequence was a joint entry by members of Wantage Camera Club; I hope this will encourage other clubs to consider entering. The winning entry will shortly be available to view on the Bridgend CC website. Our Judges this year, Edgar Gibbs FRPS MPAGB AV-AFIAP and Linda Gibbs MPAGB AV-AFIAP, provided expert critique of all the sequences and helped make the evening very stimulating and enjoyable. Edgar and Linda commented that the standard was very high and the final results were very close. Bridgend CC would like to thank them for all their hard work. The presence of visitors from other clubs and the South Wales RPS AV group was much appreciated. A DVD of sequences and the judge’s critique will be sent to clubs via the WPF portfolio service. Bridgend CC hopes that other clubs will find this entertaining and with the Judges comments enclosed an informative disc. Details of the 2015 competition will be on the Bridgend CC website in the near future, If anyone has any queries about this competition please contact us at: 5to8@bridgendcameraclub.co.uk http://www.bridgendcameraclub.co.uk/5to8Comp.html The Rules for this Comp are at the address given and if you intend to enter next year there's no time like the present to get started.

The resolution has something to do with it. Compare iPad3 and 4. DG

I remember it Now!! It is amazing that he was doing all of this in V5!! I think that you must be refering to the portraits?? That was J-P D's special magic. I have a collection of his masks - if you are interested I will make them available to you? DG

In that case I suspect that some Masks and/or Animation were used. J-P D was the Master! I will take a look - I don't remember that one. DG

Hi Claudio, I probably misunderstood your intention. You can only have Curling Page on the WHOLE SLIDE (I think). The only option you have after that is Fade in and fade out via Key Frames. DG

Make the Slide a Quick Transition and add Key Frames to the individual Objects to Fade in the ones you want Faded - leave the others alone. Alternatively, put a black image over the ones that you want faded in (in the Objects Pane). Put the ones that you don't want faded above the Black Image. Change the Opacity of the Black Image from 100% to Zero with Key Frames. DG

Turn KFSD on Add Video Slide(s) Turn KFSD off The slides which were added in the KFSD mode will remain that way during the project unless turned off in Slide Options. My "personal preference" is to leave KFSD on at all times but please don't tell anyone - it upsets some people! DG

Terry, By removing the Transitions you are making the Slide Duration = Full Slide Duration. That is why I asked in post #2 about FSD. Having an overlap as per post #7 would obviate the need for "hiding" the start and finish of the video (depending on the nature of the video). DG

You presume wrong. There is plenty of info in the Help File. http://docs.picturestoexe.com/en/techniques/keep KFSD in Settings / Preferences / Project only applies to NEW SLIDES. DG

OR, You could set KFSD in Settings, Preferences, Project before dragging the clip into the File List (three times) and let V8 do it all for you - automatically? DG

If you loop the slide does that not do what you want? Alternatively, you could add the video multiple times and set the offset on each so that they appear to loop. Overlaying the Video and using Key Frames to fade in and out would add to the illusion. You didn't explain if the video duration equals the Full Slide Duration or is shorter? DG

Hi Lin, As we discussed in our PM, if this situation arises my solution would be to use hidden slides at the end of the "normal running time" of the show and place the video in a Hidden Slide with "Do not include file in Exe" Ticked. You can link to the Hidden Slide via Button or "Hot Spot" and use either another Button or Hot Spot to return to the original slide (or the one after it). Keeping it all in ONE SHOW has distinct advantages. DG

It is in the Online Help File. http://docs.picturestoexe.com/en/objects-and-animation/properties_tab#for_video However, a longer description was needed. DG

I tried a little experiment with this feature. It is possible, when adding video to a project, to exceed the 2Gb limit for EXE files. So, I ticked the "Do not include file to EXE" box for the Video and Published a Safe Executable for PC to a Memory Key. The result of this is a very small EXE File size. However trying to play this on a different PC resulted in a "File Not Found" error. I then extracted the Folder containing the EXE and the ptshow file from the ZIPPED Folder on the original PC and added the Video File to that folder. This time, when the Memory Key was used on a different PC, the Video File was accessed from the Project Folder on the Key with no problems. The result is a small EXE File which did not exceed the 2Gb limit. DG P.S. Most of you will already know this - it is the first time that I have actually tried it.

Lin, Your Mail Box is full. DG

This method only needs one frame: http://docs.picturestoexe.com/en/techniques/3dobjects#assembly Claudio, We can see the result of the problem but that will not tell us what is causing it. Can you post a BIZ? DG

Claudio can you post a single slide Backup In Zip where this problem occurs?? DG

A couple of ways: A frame which is added in PTE is a Zero Opacity Rectangle. You could add a Coloured Rectangle in O&A instead of a Frame? OR....... In your Image Editor make a Transparent Image with a small (3 pixel) Stroke Line - save as a PNG File to your Project Folder. The Opacity of the PNG can then be made Zero when you no longer need the line. DG

Added a downloadable Pack of Objects to the "Solid 3D Objects" How To. DG

OK DG

Gary, If you do the Prt Sc when in full screen preview you get a full screen res jpeg using your image editor. DG

Press "Prt Sc" key on Keyboard.(top Right Hand Side). This puts a copy of the screen on the Clipboard. Paste the Clipboard into a New File in your image editor. DG

Run Preview Pause Show Print Screen? Open Image Editor New File Paste DG
