Use the CANVAS Control in conjunction with the BORDER Control. DG

Hi Peter, I confirm all of that. DG

Hi Gary, Think of a backup in zip as being a Template in a zipped folder. Yes, you have designate a Templates folder but that is no big deal? What you do after creating the Template is up to you. The main thing is that you then have a single unzipped folder containing all of the images, audio etc that you can move around on your own computer(s) without having to worry about references. Suggested folder structure - have a PTE Folder containing PTE Projects, PTE Templates etc. I think of my templates as my FINISHED Projects. You will never have to go searching for an old project again, it will appear in your list of Templates every time you open PTE. Try one, they are not so difficult that they need a "How To".:)/> Designate a Templates folder wherever you want it. Save a Template of your current (finished) project and then you can open it from the File Menu (Templates). DG P.S. Drop your new (resized) images into the Template Folder and it is done.

Making a template would involve 3 or 4 less steps and the same result.

I have never had that problem using a TEMPLATE instead of "Backup in ZIP". DG

I agree with Barry. Mixed Channels would seem to be the best thing for a "new user" to see first. DG

Is Robert refering to a previous Version / Beta? If so which? DG

Hi Ken, Look closer - it is in one of these threads. DG

Ken, V7.5.4 partially solves this problem. Have you tried it? DG

Ken,Please remember that KFSD was introduced in response to a specific problem highlighted by amember of this forum.You are not forced to use it?Wrt scaling of KFs I am not sure what Igor's intentions are about non-KFSD.I have suggested that separate calculations are applied.DG

You can copy and paste a slide and (in O&A Properties Tab) change the "picture" in the pasted slide for a new image? You can also copy and paste an image (object) from the O&A Objects Panel along with its Key Frames between slides and change the "Picture" in the same way? DG

Robert, I think that Igor means - if you Double Click on an image in the Mini-Player it starts a full preview. You can then use the Space Bar to Pause. DG

248 people have read it and either not understood or disagreed!! I agree with your requirement as long as the full selection procedures are available Shift and Control to select contiguous and non-contiguous KFs. I was doing something at the time which would have benefitted from what I suggested. I think (for some reason) selection as you suggest would not have worked. I'll try to remember. DG

Sounds complicated but why not? Re Key Points : DG

Hi Jill, That's why I made this suggestion: http://www.picturest...lute-keyframes/ ....but after 248 views there was still no support - not one reply! DG

Jill, There is merit in what you suggest. Obviously none of us have used the Scale Key Frames too much in the past or we would all have spotted the anomalies before now and reported them. My excuse is that I never use Non-KFSD so it would have behaved as expected/> It seems like a good time for Igor to rethink this feature. The other side of the coin is that some will want to Scale ALL Key Frames while others (like you) will want the KFs at the beginnings and ends of transitions to be locked. Interesting! DG

Hi Igor, I think that you have solved the problem for KFSD Mode. But when using Scale Key Frames in Non-KFSD Mode the scaling still uses the Full Slide Duration (both transition times). Are you saying that when Scale Key Frames is used it will always be Full Slide Duration (both transitions)?? DG

Thanks Igor. DG

Correct Stu, The Scale Key Frames function works as expected whilst in KFSD and with no KFs in the Ending Transition (the exception to this is obviously a KF placed at the END of the Ending Transition). Broadening the scope of this just a little, I am still unsure about the difference between KFSD and Non-KFSD when using Scale KFs. When you use KFSD the calculation for Scale KFs is being done on the Full Slide Duration. When you use Non-KFSD and Scale KFs the calculation is STILL made on the Full Slide Duration. If a KF is placed at 25% of the Non-KFSD time in the Timeline then after an Adjustment you would expect it to still be at 25% of the NEW Non-KFSD Time. This is not the case - after an adjustment the same KF is placed at 22.5% of the Non-KFSD time. In actual fact it is 20% of the pre-adjustment KFSD time. This is totally illogical. DG

Thanks Stu, I only checked back to 707 and it is there as well. DG

That sounds like you have inserted a TEMPLATE - PROJECT OPTIONS> DEFAULTS>INSERT TEMPLATE BTW my references are to Version 7.5.3 DG

Are you copying and pasting the first slide to create slides 2, 3,4 etc? Even so you are able to delete the comment. Have you got the COMMENT TOOLBAR visible i.e. TICKED in Settings>Preferences> Toolbars? Where did you enter the comment? DG

Thanks Gary. DG

Gary, Can you also confirm in my Bug Report? DG

Igor, The following test is repeatable on both my Vista and W7 PCs in V7.0.7 and V7.5.3 and results in the anomaly seen below. Open a NEW PROJECT. Set KFSD on and Slide Duration and Transition Time to 8 seconds and 2 seconds respectively. Add 3 Blank Slides. Open Slide 2 (or 1) in O&A and add an object. Set KFs at 2 second intervals i.e 6, 8 10, 12 and 14 seconds. Go to Customize Slide. Tick Scale KFs and adjust Slide Duration to 16 seconds. The result is shown below. The penultimate slide is not Scaled? Either my understanding of Scale Key Frames is flawed or there is a Bug / Logic Problem there somewhere?? DG
