Ronniebootwest Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 We have seen some brilliant slide shows made with version 5 and, to some extent, we seem to have lost sight of the good old version 4.I like the pan & zoom but it can be overdone I think, so I made a quick show (version 5.4) just using the pan effect for the opening intro and the closing credits. It seems to work fine and keeps the slide show simple. Download it here: Click here:Let me know what you think.RonUpdate: The link to the slide show mentioned above, is now out of date.

ronwil Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Ron That was excellent in every way but I think now you could do the whole thing now in Version 5.0 beta #4.What you cannot do at the moment in Version 5.0 is use the Object Editor parts which are available in Version 4.0. It was this that I demonstrated in my initial posting "Versions 4.0 and 5.0 - Interim arrangements" on 16 July 2006. I had some useful comments from my peers and had hoped for one from you. Keep up the good work and best wishesRon [uK] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I still like simple sequences and I found yours very pleasant and enjoyable although I do not know Cardiff. It is probably more interesting to people who know the place and buildings, and without commentary it is just a series of very good slides. The music was very nice and quite appropriate, again I like Male Voice Choirs so I am a little biased! I would be interested in your comments on my sequence.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnFeg Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 We have seen some brilliant slide shows made with version 5 and, to some extent, we seem to have lost sight of the good old version 4.Ron, much enjoyed your slideshow and the music. Your right, it is easy to "over-egg the pudding" having all the new tricks V.5 puts at our fingertips. On the otherhand, used creatively and with restraint, wonderful, aesthetically stimulating results are achievable.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevans Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Ron,Very nice pictures and music. Particularly enjoyed the choir. Picking appropriate music is one of the hardest things to do. Just a very minor point - your pictures are on screen just a little too long for me. I usualy go for 7 secs with a 2-3 sec fade. Obviously if there is commentary, then a slide might be on for longer.JeffBy coincidence I have just posted Magical Movement to www.beechbrook.com/pte/index.asp which is almost the reverse of what you have done: Please see my comments on PicturesToExe Presentations.

If the intention was to investigate the features of Version 5 then you have succeeded very well. But I think your AV illustrates for me that the p/z/r features can be overdone. Maybe this is ok for what I call an "effects" AV where there is no story, just good images. However I think for AV's that have a theme or story, the p/z/r effects have to be used with caution.Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the music options are not yet available within version 5, so I have now added a few more slides to my show so that they are displayed for just 7 seconds as you suggest.When the final version of 5 is released I will do this show again.Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
