petersilver Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Hi AllI'm a newcomer to the program and am having a problem with the output creating a slide show. The project plays fine from the timeline but when outputting, it losing some of the dissolves on a particular sequence.I don't get any error messages and output proceeds ok. This is a particularly fast sequence and .exe file 'cuts' the couple of slides it affects, then carries on as normal. (the same slides each time). I mean cut as in no dissolve.This does it in the preview as well but not whilst playing back from the timeline.I'm using v5.5Anyone have any ideas?PeterNvidia Geforce 9600GTAMD Phenom Quadcore3 gig RAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobeefstu Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Peter,Tell us some details and settings of this particular sequence.Image (dimensions, format, and file size) , any O&A effects, and any Music initialized at this particular sequence. Since you say its a fast setting ... what is this setting ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fh1805 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Peter,If you are trying to achieve rapid changes (using "Quick" transition) of large (expressed in pixels by pixels) image files, you could be overloading the resources of your graphics card (even though the nVidia 9600GT is a top-end card).regards,Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Beckham Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 It sounds like you could be using images far larger than they need be and as the show plays it overwhelms your operating system and drops some of the effects.I have heard this same thing before and that was the cause. If you are using images directly from your Digicam, then take a look at reducing image size closer to the resolution of your screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petersilver Posted December 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 The images are all fairly small - 1024 x 768. In the particular sequence there are about 30 pictures with slightly less than one second duration and with a 500ms dissolve on each one. Happens at about 75% in the sequence, on a couple of slides then is ok.Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 500ms is almost no dissolve!If your slide time is that close to your transition time it's likely that you are going to run into trouble.Look at the timeline at the point where the problem occurs - it's possible that, for some reason, the transition time is longer than the slide time?DaveG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petersilver Posted December 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Yes, the dissolves on this are a bit quick!!However I have now downloaded and installed the 5.6 beta and the problem is solved.The .exe file now plays properly.Thanks for all comments.Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
