Jean-Cyprien

Hi Pascal, Thanks Pascal for your tutorial and congratulation for the way you've used to obtain an image in grayscale. If you don't mind, I'll use it to propose here (and in the French forum Diapositif) several styles. Best regards Jean-Cyprien

Hi Lin, I wanted to use Google Translator for Firefox, but it is written that it is no longer updated, and it is recommended to no longer use it. I downloaded the Chrome browser, which includes a translator, and after indicating English as a language, I had no problem with the Diapositif forum and its topics in English. As written previously, I put all your tutorial in this topic: http://diapositif.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=42084 Thanks again. Best regards, Jean-Cyprien

Thank you, Lin, for this tutorial, and its translation in French. I've copied/pasted all the text in Diapositif forum, there : http://diapositif.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=42084 Could you explain what kind of problem you are experiencing ?

Very well done Lin ! JPD must rejoice to see all those paintings from where he is now. Next time, the dog (wolf ?) will jump outside the frame to come for a caress !! Best regards Jean-Cyprien

Thanks A LOT, Lin ! It's not easy during Chritsmas Time to find time enough to play with PTE ! But I'll try.

Nice idea Tom, and very good work ! bravo, thanks !

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all and your dear ones

Hi, Thank you for your kind comments, Lin, Judy, Barry, Nelson, Bert, Tom, MUR, et merci Pascal. I'm glad you like it. But it is PTE (and Igor) that deserves praise for all its beautiful possibilities and accuracy Kinds regards - Jean-Cyprien

Diolch yn fawr, davegee, a phob dymuniad gorau i chi a'ch teulu (a PTE!) Thanks to you too, wideangle !

Hi, As he had promised me, Santa Claus brought me a small gift: a blocks set . You will find a style (made with and for PTE9) to play with me, with 7 horizontal images (1920x1080 pixels for example). In the unzipped folder you'll find : "Explanations Blocks set" (. doc or .pdf, it's the same thing.) - A Black Background.jpg, In fact a completely black image. - Most important: the style file, Blocks set.ptestyle To sumarise : - Drag and drop 6 images of 16/9 horizontal format (for the six faces of the cubes) into the editing table. - Then drag and drop a seventh horizontal image - the same format (in principle 16/9) as the screen. (It is mandatory) This image will be seen in the background of the screen. - (Import, the first time, the style) Apply the style. Add salt, pepper, condiments and other spices... Please, excuse my english mistakes And sorry, I'm not able to put here an exemple. Too heavy (9 Mo), but I think you could see it there : http://diapositif.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=42012 Blocks set style.zip

Hi, BE CAREFULL ! (Unless I'm mistaken) If you use the comment box to add your texts in several slides, you'll NOT be able to add - thereafter - the slide numbers. If you try to do this, all your texts will be lost, and changed by the slide numbers. If necessary, I do as jkb does : " to set up a text object once, then copy & paste that object to the other slides " Jean-Cyprien

Very good and simple summary, wideangle, but you should insist on the benefits of a style (easy for a begginers, save a lot of time)

I agree with you, davegee, transistion is not the first aim of a style. Animation ? Why not. Simple and complex animation.

a first draft A slide style is the ability for everyone (including beginners) to use their own images to achieve instantly (or almost instantly) an effect (transition...) that would normally require time, and a little (or a lot !) of experience. It saves generally a lot of time if you have to reuse this effect very often. (Now, what is an effect...? ! )

Hi Tom, Here my suggestion epson_printer_b_JCV_Oct26-2018_10-10-42.zip

Hi Dave, Thank you for this reply, Dave, and no need to add anything, this time I understood perfectly ! (I did not see what was referring to " Time Range Control" ) I don't usually use this Time Range, because their values should usually be changed when changing the duration of the slide, so I prefer to use the KF But it is sometimes very useful when it is necessary to appear or disappear instantaneously an object. Thanks again, and have a good day Jean-Cyprien

Hi davegee, Of course it's possible to do the same thing you present with some KF, in different ways (as in my attached example). But I'm sorry not to be able to understand what you mean to do, specially with de Z parameter. Could you add more explanation, or join the PTE project ? Thanks ! Best regards Jean-Cyprien ExampleDavegee_Oct17-2018_9-44-59.zip

Hi Lin, I fear it's not an easy task for Igor to do what you mean. But it'd really be a nice improvment. That said, – I use the same method : splitted objets – it's not really difficult to split a movement by two slides, even if animations are running, with or without modifiers. You have just to put keyframes outside the slides duration. Here is an example (better to understand). No complex calculations : it needs only to know that 9-4=5 Quite simple. No ? Best regards Jean-Cyprien example_Oct16-2018_17-26-44.zip

Hi Claudio, 1 - you copy the slide (in "Slides" not "Timeline" CTRL+C and then CTRL+V) 2 - For each objet (images, text, frames...) : - for the last keyframe, you tick all the boxes on the tab Animation, (Pan, Zoom, Rotate, ...) - and after that, you delete the previous keyframes - finally, you put the last keyframe at the begining (by keyframe time, or with the mouse)

Dave, On the example of Lin, I do see the lines, but what could I try or do with it to remove them ?? I think it's necessary for me to obtain - myself, with PTE - the lines to be able to cure them. Thanks Insert other media

Thank you Barry, for your kind appreciation. Try the style, it's very simple. To try it is to adopt it !!! Dave, the problem for me, is that I don't see any lines with my 1920x1080 screen, even with the zoom at 5000%. Thus, I'm in the dark to find a solution. Thanks for the link

HI, This is how the slices of the page are put on the frame. Why the borders are sometimes visible, I've no idea. As they are never visible for me, it's difficult to find a solution. Sorry. Bests regards

Hi Lin, Very bad alarmclock, the lady is still asleep !!! best regard, Jean-Cyprien

Hi Ruskin, I don't understand where you have a problem. To begin, you change the Key Frame Time at 1000 ms for the first Key Frame, and you put the right values for zoom and pan Than, you clone the key frame (right clic on the key frame) For the second key frame, you change the Key Frame Time (2801 ms) and the Pan X value. You clone this second key frame. You have now the third key frame. You change only the key frame time (3105 ms) You clone this third key frame. And for this 4th key frame, you change the time, and the zoom and pan value. When you clone a key frame, all the check marks are placed for the new key frame. As PTE is able to read and convert project files done with old versions, it is easy to examine what PTE has done - and so to learn how to do the next time. Good luck ! Jean-Cyprien

Hi Ruskin, As you're able to do exactly what you want with the version 7.5, do first a project with the version 7.5, and save it (I think you've done it already). Then, open this project with the version 9, and look carrefully what PTE has done to do the same things (or so I hope).
