Delicate

I often return to PTE and MANUALLY align images in e.g. a hyperlapse sequence. There are software that automatically do the alignment quite well, but if the sequence is really off-lined then they just don't work. I like to work with PTE for doing this, even if there are other software for doing manual alignments. I have now been using the grid to help manually aligne the images in PTE. But there are a few, in my opinion small things,that would really help in the alignment process: 1. Being able to chose a number of images on the slides-line and then apply a scale factor for all these images (e.g. change the scale to 150% for all the selected images). 2. In "Objects and animation" be able to change the increment to one decimal when scrolling the variables in e.g. Pan X,Pan Y, Rotate C (in stead of the intervall of one integer). I mean when you "scroll" the variables with the mouse. This would help when making the manual alignment. 3. Also (even if not having to do with the alignment), to be able to change the Blur value for all selected images in the slides-line. Ps. I think I have been requested 1. and 3. before. So if there already are a method to do these, please advise me and I would be happy. Ps. Of course there would be much more that would help in the alignment, like choosing reference points in the images - but I don't want to be too demanding... :-) Thank You, Jan

Two years back classmates celebrated. I only had two images from that meeting but tried to catch the atmosphere... :-) Regards, Jan

Thank you John. I usually publish on Vimeo. I have used different techniques and the most seen one is a panning animation based on NASAs images (HiRise camera) taken of Mars. This video ( https://vimeo.com/207076450 ) has been seen 1.6 Million times and have been published on Wired, National Geographic, CNN, BBC, etc. :-)

Thank you Barry. This presentation was manily made as information about places where I take photos, which purpose I hope it fulfilled.

Thank you Kieron!

Thank you! I live in the southern part of Finland where we only can see auroras a couple of times per year, so it is best to take the chance then. But in the northern part of Finland, in Lapland, they can watch auroras wintertime almost every clear night. I filmed "The Post Train" mainly in 2010 with an old EOS D7. This year I finally filmed one missing scene which made it possible to finalize the project. My mother who act in the film passed away in 2015 so she didn't see the final version. The trains seen in the film are maintained by enthusiasts who take passengers a couple of times per year.

Good suggestion! I tried with a solid color rectangle at the bottom, and that helped. By choosing the right degree of darkness and color you actually can minimize the issue. Thanks

Oh, thank you!

True... Thank you.

Tack. Jo nog är naturen fin här fast man lätt blir blind för den. Och då ljusförhållandena är de rätta så då måste man ut och fotografera...

Thanks, agree... :-)

Hi. I made a simple slideshow for the local camera club, where I show places where I like to go and photograph nature. The area is the southern part of Finland. Unfortunately, all text is in Swedish, but images and nature are international so please enjoy the images. And as usual, the climax is in the end... Regards, Jan

Great! :-)

I see... By the way, when I'm in PTE -> Help -> Check for New Version (or Free Update), why does it not suggest version 10.0.14 ? I run 10.0.5 now but it informs me that I have the latest version?

Hi. I noticed an issue in my latest AV-presentation (PTE AV Studio Pro 10.0.5 (64 bit) / Windows). I import one image to a slide that I want as a "background" for text or other objects that I put on top. I then apply quite an amount of blur (positive value) to the background image in Object and Animation. This will cause lightened vignette around the whole slide. And it does not help if I enlarge the background image (make it bigger than the slide). Especially when the presentation is exported the vignette can clearly be seen. To apply blur on an image in PTE is much easier than making a separate blurred image in my image editor. But as always and in general, how easy it was to achieve what I aimed with my presentation... :-) Regards, Jan
