[Penser avec son pinceau]

You have raised the bar - pas de question!

I agree! Magnifique travail!

Is it correct that you are working on a tool that helps to do animations easy?

If it is, I'm looking forward and wait for it!

This tool will operate with Excel or what?

Thanks...

Fabrizio

[Beta-testing of slideshow's engine for Mac]

Hi Igor,

I'm interested in.

My configuration:

iMac 20", Intel Core 2 2Ghz, 2Gb RAM

OSx 10.5

[3D picture rotation]

So I think we will add 3D for objects in v5.7 or v5.8.

Thanks Igor,

I remember you already wrote this (great) info. I tried to push this feature

I plan using that to do titles and effects like the following

http://www.mediastorm.com/0001.htm search for "1976"

I think this is possible only with 3d axis manipulation...

[3D picture rotation]

Hi all,

I've already send this request... I saw also mObjects has "3D rotation" (Wings Platinum too)

Please Igor, consider insert a free rotation of 3 axis.

I'm looking for...

PTE is already the best AV creation software... this upgrade and the audio waveform visible in O&A window should be push PTE more more high.

Fabrizio

PS: I know that is possible to simulate a 3D rotation with a combination of 2D rotation, but it's an hard job with a result not so good (imho)

[Picture rotation X, Y, Z]

Maybe later in 5.7 it become possible to operate with objects in 3D space, too.

WOW! What a great news!

Remember that if you need some help for a localized version of PTE (italian, of corse), here I am.

[Ability to Transform objects - skew or perspective]

Hi guys,

this tread is the same as mine

(rotation x y z)

We have only to wait a reply from Igor in order to know if this kind of trasformation is possible with graphic libraries used.

but, what are graph lib used? directx? witch version?

[Picture rotation X, Y, Z]

Hi Fabrizio,

It is possible within certain limitations. I believe what you want is the manipulation of the "Z" axis.

Thanks Lin for your reply,

I saw your samples in the past and I appreciate them, but in any case is only an illusion and is quite difficult to do the same thing at fullscreen without the help of black shapes around the original picture.

The feature I think is a basic distortion 2D picture like a "trapezio" (in italian), where will be possibile to move each single little square at the corner of the image and then animate them

Bye, Fabrizio

[Picture rotation X, Y, Z]

Hi,

[where]

should be possible to deform a picture in O&A ?

The idea is to do a 3D look to the pictures and animate them.

[edited]

the same effect could be done with a rotation along the X axis or Y axis, in this version it's possible only along Z axis (over the plane XY)

[Additive light transparency]

You can simulate additive blending within PTE by generating the “third” (intermediate) image in PS

Xaver H.

Danke Xaver,

at the moment, I use your trick to solve the problem or create other effects...

but if it will be possible directly into PTE, one can try the effect more quickly.

Do you know what is the difference between the Xdissolve in timeline view and the same effect in O&A?

In the first case it's very smooth, in the second case not soo smooth, there's a different interpolation?

sorry for my humble english

Fabrizio

PS: last question... it will be difficult to add the audio wave also in O&A for a precise synchronization?

[Additive light transparency]

Hi all,

it will be a great improvment to have a toggle "normal/additive".

A = first image, B = second image

in normal mode transparency will be the same as now. (if A = 50% => then B can be <= 50%, but not > 50%)

in additive mode, program shows two or more images like a dia-projector, when I have a white picture I can see the image below.

if A = 50%, B can be 0-100% e.g. A=50%, B=100%... total light = 150%, we can see a brillant transition like a flash shot.

Then maybe will be necessary to change the fade-out curve of A image, now we have = fade-out A = fade-in B

the only way we have to change this is to use: "objects and animation".

Last small idea... is it possible to insert "Flip image vertical/horizontal"? thanks in advance.

[PicturesToExe Deluxe 5.5 Release Candidate 5]

Jean-Pierre

How did you manage to open the file using WinZip, I cannot get it to download.

I'm not JP but I had the same problem with Vista.

You might download it in a temp directory then you have to unzip it with WINRAR.

[PicturesToExe Deluxe 5.5 Release Candidate 5]

Thank you Igor,

great work! Preview window it's fantastic... I hope in the future to see a small preview of each image also in the timeline view

[Problems with blendings on PTE5 beta: RESOLVED!]

hi Markus,

I've the same problem, in particular I see a big difference between the zoom with x-dissolve and without.

I think it's a problem of hardware slowness when we use the external connection of the video card.

There's a note about in the v5 beta tread, when Igor said that old graphic cards are not supported at the moment.

Then we look at beta9 with hope.

[sorry also for my English )]

[pte beta9 functions request]

Hi all,

it's my first message posted here.

A brief presentation: I'm Fabrizio, Italian (near Milan), 35

I'm an enthusiast user of pte, I appreciate whole project, congrats !

I would to suggest a pair of improvements, both in "objects and animations" (my preferred window)

1. Previous slide button (in the upper right position)

I'd prefer that program shows the last point of the previous slide and not the first,

this is in order to view precisely the transition

2. To show the "path" of the slide. For example to show all the center points and a line that connect one to the following

For pte v6 I would suggest to dock the timeline in the main window.

Thanks for your attention.

Fabrizio
