Peter, Eric and Linn,
This is exactly what I have been trying to achieve. More bl**dy bells and whistles I'm afraid, but it works.
Thank you Gentlemen.

Thanks peter. Yes thats exactly it. I'll note all the details before I play with it. I'll also have a look at that transition you mention, sounds kida cool.
Thanks again.

Thats it Peter. Now how did you do that [Gonna have to disect the example]. Thanks Peter. I couldnt figure that out at all.

Hi guys, If I could describe it better.
3 images one behind the other as seperate layers. then the images behind the first come from behind the first and come to the front, changing positions.Sort of like shuffling a pack of cards.
I'm begining to think it cant be done.
Yes Eric something along those lines. Only from directly behind.
Its just something I tried yesterday and wondered about.

Is it possible to have say 3 slide one behind the other and during the time allowed have the slide at the back [or in the middle] come to the front, by actual movement and not opacity.
I've tried this all day and cant get it.
Any help?

I notice the border size tool does not retain/remember the last value set, but defaults back to a different value after use. Can it be altered to remember/retain the last value set to aid workflow.

Hi Dick, Sorry for the late reply.
I sort of solved it by creating an independent BG at full size for each slide I want to have a different colour BG.
Then on each slide I set the BG colour to match the BG slide.A bit of a hit and miss but it seems to work.
Thanks for the help, I'm still learning rectangles!
Andrew.

Yes, I did understand that Peter, and agree wholeheartedly.

Hi Mark, so many things now to consider, but a better understanding now to help. This discussion has opened my eyes a bit. I guess I got carried away with my 'masterpiece' and didnt stop to consider the impact such a show might have. There were a lot of elderly members in that audience!
What you doing still up at 01:30am?
Andrew

OK, I got that. Keep the colours in their own 'complimentry groups.
Thanks Guys.

WOW. Thats gonna take some learning!!!

I'm slowly getting round all the various parts of P2E and have come to frames.
I was wondering when [in what circumstance] you would use them, and for what?
Any quick explination?

Andrew, well done.....
Best regards, Gayland
Thanks Gayland. I need all the encouragement I can get.

Hello Andrew, Very nice presentation viewed on my new MacPro with the 24 inch new monitor. The Mac executable though didn't fill the monitor and had around 2 centimeters both on the top and bottom not filled. This monitors resolution is 1920x1200 so maybe that is why, but honestly it doesn't matter since it was such a very done presentation. Again I really appreciate you including a Mac version too. Thanks Bill
My monitor defaults to 1920x1080.
I set the image size and BG size to that.
What would be the result if I size them at 1920x 1200? Would they go off the end of my screen.?
Gonna have to try it now
Thanks Bill.

Well done, Andrew. You have mastered a lot of advanced features of PTE.
I know it was just a learning experience and you wanted to experiment but I found the changing frame colours distracting (just a personal opinion and not a criticism!). It is also a good idea to get into the habit of Hide Mouse Cursor During Show.
Regards, Jeff
Thanks Jeff. I done that simply to keep the show from being to 'static' I will experiment with other methods and variations.
Thank you for the encouragement.

Very enjoyable AV and very well executed with an interesting idea.
Contrary to what some may say the white boarders work well and the coloured backgrounds add to the overall presentation. Rules are meant to be broken.
Choice of music was excellent.
Can I ask what the font used in the 2 opening titles was?
The font is called fairydust. I really like it.
Thank you for the kind comments.

Lin, I changed the motion to smooth for both the rectangle and the text.
It does seem to move better. I think that should be the default.
Thank you.
Andrew
-
Thank you Ken and Lin,
I can remember playing with the motion thing Lin, and cant remember why I didnt change it back.
Where are my notes

This is a trial run using all the elements I have learned over the past week. 99% of the work was done in P2E.
I have used Rectangles, with text as a child thereof. 3D effects, and Keyframes with motion.
So a lot of new things learned.

Ed, These are points I never even considered before I put my show up. Perhaps I should have. It's funny you mention the position in the set, 'cause mine was #4 on the list when we handed in, and they didnt show it till #12 of 13. After the interval. I wonder if they like you had thought it out, and perhaps I'm being unkind.
However, as you say shows like mine must still have a place no matter how upsetting. Perhaps tho as you point out not in a competition. It just never occurred to me.
I find it amazing the things I learn here, and I thought at my age I had a good grasp of life and its trials.

Peter, I think I have it. I made a dedicated slide with a sound file for it and used 'Customise slide' to get it to wait for a mouse click. I must pay more attention to those menu's.
Then I added a blank, then the sequence with a sound file embedded in the first [or 3rd] slide and set it to play all the way thro.
That seems to have solved the problem.
Now when I start the show, I have to click 'Play' before it moves on to the 'show' proper.
Sorted.
You guys know so much its scary.

Fancy me finding a 'glitch'
Never mind. I'll live with it.
Thanks Peter.

In the border settings box thingy...it keeps going back to 34 when I wish to use 10. Is there any way to get it to stay at 10?
That should be a simple one guys.
Thanks for all the help today.
Andrew.

Your right Eric. So I've started a 'ledger' and also I'm keeping the examples as templates.
