I took ten minutes off from my current project and and tweaked the Perspectives EXE just a little. Having been there (it's in Innsbruck)I can say that it looks not too shabby. Perspective.zip DG

Exactly (I think?). DG

You guys never cease to amaze me! I am demonstrating a principle and not how close to perfection I was able to make it. OK, your third party software is blilliant and does a far better job, but having done that job will it then do this?: Perspective.zip BTW, once again this is quick and dirty - perfection takes a little longer. DG

Tom, That might be a little unfair to ShiftN? Don't forget that your original is a screen shot. DG

Thanks Igor, It was an interesting excercise. DG

Tom, I would say that at the project resolution of the images in PTE there is nothing to choose between them. The PTE version would be adequate for my needs in a PTE Show - I wouldn't be ashamed of the quality. DG

A little. You have probably noticed that the building leans in two different planes. The centre of the X-Axis had to be be at the bottom. By using two frames I was able to rotate the building and perform the X-Axis movement at the same time. The combination of both gave the result I wanted. And saved me £1200. DG

Whoops!!!! I probably did!! I will correct that. Done. DG

Ernie, Which version are you using V7.5.10 or V8? In V8 it is easy to drag the clips into the timeline and then drag them sideways to produce the "gap". In V7.5.10 you would use Separate tracks and the OFFSET control in Project options / Audio. DG

Hi Ron, I no longer use Adobe products. I have been weaning myself off Adobe products for a LONG time. I just wanted to see if PTE would do the job. For anyone wanting to Print the result then PTE would not be the tool to use. But for PTE projects I will let the results speak for themselves. DG

JUST FOR FUN I decided to see if PTE could save me from having to purchase that expensive Pespective Control Lens :rolleyes:/>. Results below: DG

Hi Peter, Have we not agreed that points on the envelope are 'Keypoints" and positions on the O and A line are "Keyframes"? That is the terminology that Igor wants and it avoids misunderstanding. DG

Ron, Go to Project Options / Screen. Enter a resolution of 2560 x 1440. Go to Main. What does the AR tell you? DG P.S. Alternatively, get your calculator out, divide 2560 by 16 and multiply by 9 (or 10).

2560x1440 is your minimum Image Size to fill screen. Zooming will require larger sizes. Your project Size is 2560x1440 - Aspect Ratio = 16:9 DG

Barry, I don't know if this helps? When applying a style you can match the Style's Speed/Duration to the slide that you are applying it to. Speed and Duration controls are interactive and you can use them to match the style to the slide. Your suggestion would further improve matters. DG

Double click on the ISO and if you have a suitable application it will open. CyberLink PowertoGo came with my PC and never fails. What is the size of the ISO????????? DG

If you can create the ISO look at the size of it? Will it create an ISO which is greater than 4.7Gb? Don't know. I usually assume that if the ISO can be created (untick everything else) then the problem is not PTE. But given what you said............... If there are no Version 8 elements in the slide show you could revert back to V7.5 temporarily? DG

Can you make the ISO file? Can you make an MPEG4? What is the size of the project? DG

Thanks for the plug - it looks good!! DG P.S. Why did you not use the 3D text which Igor created specially for you? B)/>

I don't think that we said that? If you make each slide's duration say 12 seconds, you can pause each slide as required using the Media Player's Pause control at around 6-8 seconds. Pess Play to continue and Pause again 6-8 seconds into the next slide. This would be true for any MP4 / AVI etc whatever prog it's made in? Manual control with a Media Player is using the Play and Pause Buttons. What other method of control would you envisage? DG P.S. Media Player Classic (for PC) allows the use of the Space Bar to Play and Pause. Perhaps the Media Player in your TV has the same facility? I cannot try mine right now, my wife has control of the Remote on Saturday Nights at 7PM./>

+1 What Lin said. DG

If two people disagree about what the default should be then it is surely a case for Preferences?? Igor and yourself obviously disagree about this. You might say that Igor should go with the majority, but isn't that then unfair to the people who could also have had their choice if it were a Preferences item?? Your favourite Adobe product has a million items in their version of Preferences most of which were irrelevant to me but were important to others. Should we not all have the opportunity to set the prog up the way we want it and not be dictated to by the wants of others?? JMHO Smiley face. DG

There's a LOT more to it than a lot of people realise!! DG

In preferences you can set your own Defaults, which might be preferable to other people's prefered defaults? :rolleyes:/> DG

Trailertrash, By visiting this address regularly: https://nikoneurope-...sthelp.com/app/ ......you can determine the reason for the upgrade before downloading the installer. I would advise updating at every opportunity because there are bug fixes with every update, some of which are unlisted, and the software is being improved on each occasion. There is a fix in this upgrade for a very annoying bug which some have been experiencing in the LCH utility. There is also an upgrade for VNX2 which, if you are not aware, includes some nice changes/improvements to their Video Editor for Nikon Cameras. DG
