  1. Box of Photos (Basic)

    in Styles & Templates

    Posted

    Hi Dave

    Great to see you posting again. really like your style. Simple and elegant.

    Made a small show to test it out. tried to zip it to a backup and got the error shown below. 

    Possibly something for Igor to address. It seem that zip cannot handle two files with the same name in different directories.

    There is an easy work around with a text editor,however, might might be upsetting to a new comer to PTE

  2. Cut-off Markers don't change with duration change

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Dave,

    I am not sure that we are understanding each other. When a slide is created there are two rods at the beginning and end of that slide. The one that is visible always is blue. Under it is a green rod. The green rod is the start of the slide. And will not move. The Blue rod on top of it will move, and controls when a photo will show and not show within a given frame. The grey bar is the transition length and appears to have nothing to do with the blue rods.

    If you move the blue rod at the beginning of a frame in, the photo in that frame will not show until the time it is set to. the same with the one at the end. Slide it in and the photo will not show beyond that point.

    once you have set these and wish to change the duration of that slide, the do not move accordingly.

    there is a demo attached to better show what I am trying to explain.

  6. Looping video within a single slide

    in General Discussion

    DaveG and Yachtsman,

    Sorry it took so long to get back. Took me a while to wrap this old head around timing. After reading the help file and

    your replies a half dozen times. I believe that I got the idea. Think I need to learn how to produce a show with timing

    AND visual. With all the new possibilities in PTE 8. Strictly visual no longer satisfies my needs.

    Yachtsman, as requested Here is link to what I accomplished.

    Thank you both for all your help...

  8. Looping video within a single slide

    DaveGee,

    Sorry, I Did not understand your reference to KFSD in post#2. After reading all of the replies I think I now understand.

    Need to look into this more, but it does appear that it should meet my requirements... Thank you

    Yachtsman,

    Your Video has done basically what I wanted. where you have the transition between videos is what I wanted to hide hence the use

    of strategically placed photos.

    I will post a clip this evening to show the result

    Thank you both, Terry

  9. Looping video within a single slide

    Thank you Davegee and Yachtsman,

    First allow me to explain. All of my shows are created visually, rather than by timing.

    Until I read your replies, I never noticed that slides could be looped. I have tried both solutions and neither works to my

    satisfaction.

    My eventual solution was to create 3 slides with the same video as the background with no transition. By placing the last photo

    as the first on the next slide. I was able to hide the start and finish of the video. Giving the appearance of one slide. The

    video is only 7+/- seconds and now appears to be 23 seconds long.

    Thank you both for you reply and knowledge.

  13. Double Vision and a fade

    in Styles & Templates

    Posted

    Hi Terry,

    Nice! I would suggest making the double vision transitions "smooth" rather than linear so there isn't an abrupt stop at the culmination.

    Best regards,

    Lin

    Hello Lin,

    Tried Smooth, Even at 3sec transition time it Still seem to be abrubt. However Slowdown gives a smoother ending.

    The new settings have been replaced in the first post. Thanx for the suggestion. I am still trying to learn the basics of speed control.

  15. Natures Finest

    Yachtsman1,

    It is not your Hardware. Although everything runs smoothly on my setup. I have little comprehension of how to use smooth, accelerate, and slowdown functions. These seem to elude my feeble brain.

    Ken,

    Thank you for your compliment.

    Lin,

    Thank you for your compliment. Yes, the show would be better if I understood the smooth function.

    A single slide doing one thing I understand.

    A single slide doing multiple things.....I'm LOST.

    Bert and Morturn ,

    Thank you both for your comments.

    you are both correct in the sense that I still have much to learn. and as you both have said. that simpler is still better.

    Thank you both.

    Morasoft ,

    Thank you. I will continue to work on the fluidity of my shows. I might even get it right, one day.

    thank you all for you comments and critique. now it's time for me to put it to good use.

    Terry

    Hi DOM,

    I just tried to download Silvia's Cover Pack and got this response from your site.

    "Sorry, but only administrators can view files and sub category in this category."

    Thought I should let you know. I did not know if the file is still available.

    Thank you,

    Charles
