Hello all,
I am on 7.5.2 and have read all the threads on the topic of "go to slide with name".
In my show, go to and choosing a slide name from the drop-down list takes me to the slide before the one I want and then fades into the one selected which is not the action I want. I set small durations (2sec) because I am using manual Nest slide.
The name of the target slide is mainmenu so I don't think the OS is messing up.
One respondent suggested putting blank slides before the one I want to go to but this is not an elegant solution.
Any ideas please?

Audio comments seem to run synchronized, so you cannot avoid this effect. In cases where the sequence stops the comment will stop, as well.

Thanks Xavier,
Thought so, but was hoping for someone with a brilliant idea.

Good day all,
I have attached an audio clip to slide 10 and want the audio to continue while slides 11, 12, etc are showing. I ticked Do not interrupt....
It works as designed when the slide durations and transitions are specified.
However, I want to control Next slide with a keyboard action: Project options/Control/Wait for a key press to show next. In this case the audio is interrupted.
Is there another setting that I have missed?
Thank you, Jeff

Don't be put off by the French language of this post. There are Union Jacks indicating English translations of the rules on the site. This competition is for short AVs (less than 3 minutes 21 seconds) on any subject.
There are already many entries from GB and South Africa. Anglophones, please join us.

Well, I have never heard of the 321, but I have not been into many competitions in the UK.
....
Barrie, there are two judging venues in Australia this year (and two in South Africa). Am really surprised that you are unaware of the competition. Maybe the French language (in the past) put you off. Virtually everything is in English as well as French these days.
Thanks, Maureen, for your promo work. Much appreciated.

Sorry if I missed something. Have been a bit out of touch with the forum.
Is there news about a waveform being included in the O&A view?

Well done!

Hello Colin,
You have probably already swiped your plastic.
As a fellow countryman, this is what I have: Olympus handheld recorder from New World, Rode NT3 cardioid microphone (plugs into Olympus) from Musica Instruments.
Use Audacity for editing.
The most difficult thing is the "recording studio". I cover the walls of the spare bedroom with blankets and make do, using a mic stand for the Rode. It is not perfect, as I have been told by experts who listen to my recordings.
Good luck. I hope you will be back for our salon next year.

Well done Howard and congratulations on your "M".
Remembrance Day is not a big thing in this colony. However, with no WW1 survivors at the Cenotaph this year, it is this kind of stunning production that keeps the folly of war in the collective mind. Thank you for that.

Thanks Lin and Tom. A very comprehensive answer as usual from Lin.
For what I need, frame capture is overkill. I will stick with what I have rather than trying google earth pro, which I am sure is the way to go in future.

Hello all,
I am trying to include a bit of Google earth animation in an AV. I use Screen recorder Gold to capture the screen (maximized) and produce an AVi.
As recorded, the action is smooth but played back with Windows media player it is jerky. PTE video converter does not make the jerks any worse but also no better. It would appear to be a non-PTE problem.
I know there was an answer somewhere else about not being able to capture screen animation perfectly but I can't find it now.
I have tried slowing down the earth movement and various combinations of capture frame rate from 15 to 60 per second.
Any suggestions welcomed. Thank you.

I seem to recollect the (free) size limit on Dropbox is not large.
Yousendit have recently reduced their free limit from 100mB to 50mB.
Splitting sounds like an option if you are dealing with tech-savvy recipients.

Igor, are you going to translate the answers as well (tick boxes/dropdown list) or will it be a free test box? It seems you don't ask the question on the order form yet.

Lovely Maureen,
Thanks for sharing. Super photos.
I will be there in September/October and would like to know your itinerary.

Hi Lin,
Its actually a colleague, using 9.0.91. I am happy with Avira and nothing reported.
{Sorry, read the thread about antivirus software after posting this query.}
Thanks for the reassurance.

Hello Cor,
Not a comment about your excellent production on one of our famous artists.
AVG antivirus reports that it contains a Trojan. Are you, or anyone else, aware of this possible problem? I have read here that Norton can identify false positives.

I really appreciate being able to hear music in the O&A window during playback, but it would also be nice if there could be a display of that portion of the waveform at the bottom of the window. This would both help fine-tuning control points to events in the sound track, and also (see below) the waveform could be used to provide reference points for the timing of control points for some objects.
...
I am battling to fine-tune synchronisation of music beats and images in an O&A window. Are we any closer to getting Ed's suggestion? It would solve my problem. At present it is stabbing in the dark.

Hello Lin,
All this needs is a quick phone call but a post will have to do instead.
I am using PTE 6.5 beta 8 (maybe that is my problem!) and Xara3D6.
Animation settings 60 fpc, 15 fps, 0 pause, loop ticked and any number from 1 to 99 times. Export animation as .gif.
In PTE preview the animation goes through only one cycle and then stops when it should loop.
What is the trick I am missing? Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Jeff
Upgraded to v7 (not the problem)
Found O&A, Adjust image and border. Set parameters there and problem solved!
In Xara3D6 loop must be ticked and set to a large number (depending on how long the object must perform).

...Though we generally think of animated GIF's as cute little animated clips which are rather simple and perhaps amateurish in nature, there are a few low cost as well as freeware programs which allow creation of more realistic type animated GIF files. Xara allows some really nice 3D text with professional animation ...

Are the judges from the United Nations?

Please be so kind and tell me what you mean by "illiterate".
Regards,
Xaver
With pleasure, but lets keep it friendly.
Without turning to the OED, I meant the millions of people around the World without access to Sky TV, BBC World and UK local radio/newspapers/magazines. To them, AV is just AV. They have not heard of the upcoming vote.
I admit, "illiterate" was an ill-considered choice of term and could offend some Forum colleagues - sorry! Have you a better term for what I intended?
Jeff

Well done.
I think it was from Richard Brown that I heard it first: the hardest part is deciding WHAT you are going to make an AV about. It's that spark or flash, and you found it.
Unfortunately it will be lost on many illiterate non-Brits.
