Aleina Show

Bruno, you are well versed in the technical aspects of the program! Thank you very much for your help! You are very kind! I thank you for your help! I’m very interested to see which way you go in creating the album. Best regards, Aleina

thedom, Tonton Bruno Thank you for sharing your experience! For me it is very valuable. Initially, I also proceeded from this position, I think it is easier to do. My task is to make the work as easy as possible for those who will use my project in their work. I would not want them to repeat editing in duplicates. Creating a style helps when changing photos. But this does not help if there is more than one text area. And I have 4 texts + 4 duplicates on each slide. A way to make non-editable images non-clickable for quickly finding the right layers, it works 90%. For example, you have a photograph on one side of the sheet, it is large, stands out when you click the mouse, and on the other side of the sheet is a small text. And it is already impossible to select it with the mouse, since it is in the field of action of the photograph. If the method of doing all the work on one slide also contains duplicates, this enterprise will not make sense. But most likely it will be so. Thank you very much, this is a very interesting way! It’s not very clear to me how such sorting of layers “by depth” works, but I will definitely try it! The main thing is that this is a working method! I am very grateful to you!

Bruno, may I ask you a technical question? Is your album in 1 slide? Or is it a few slides? I want to make my album in 1 slide. But now I have constant problems with this. Those sheets that must first be on top (the right side of the album) should overlap (be on the bottom) to the left after turning over. How can this be better organized? Maybe it makes sense to use a mask? But I can’t imagine how. Or duplicate pages, use duplicates, changing their visibility?

I am from Russia, this link opens. But in my Cent browser, I see the same error after entering the email. Everything used to work well on this browser before. In the Yandex browser and in Mozilla Firefox everything is fine, the site is working. So maybe this is a browser problem.

This «Somebody» has become smarter than us! The search algorithm pushes us to what interests us. And this is good. Probably.

Mary, thanks for sharing this video. Such a fire is terrible. It’s good that the firemen were able to quickly cope. Your video is epic. I also agree about the text. It would be nice to make it more readable. Best regards, Aleina

sanpier, mhwarner Thanks you! It is very nice to hear! Best regards, Aleina

I like the left candle! For greater realism, you can add small indentations, which are obtained under the wick from molten wax.

nelson, wideangle, thedom, Roje001 Thank you for your kind words! I came across a tutorial on how to make a similar effect in Adobe After Effects. And since I have recently wondered if it is possible to implement in PTE AV what After Effects can do, I tried to do the same in PTE AV. Only in our program does it work better not as a style, but as a transition.

Berny, MUR, Tonton Bruno, stranger2156, henry64200 Thank you so much! Best regards, Aleina

Yes, it turned out to be a very useful feature. Welcome! http://aleina-show.ru/

It seems to me that the left candle looks more real. I like it! But this is just my opinion.

It looks very pretty! The flame of candles looks natural. You can make the dark center (wick) a little more noticeable. This is another beautiful idea!

A little experiment. This transition can be downloaded from my website. http://aleina-show.ru/skachat/stili-dlya-pte-av-studio Best regards, Aleina

George, Thank you very much for your practical outlook on the job. I will try to answer your questions. Yes, I think that using the same project for 2 years in a row is not the best option. But the same opinion can apply to most finished projects. There are universal styles that we can apply in any project. But they are usually boring for children. But you gave me a good idea to think about. I could create animation sets separately so you can change them in different projects as you wish. As for text layers. Initially, the project was planned as a metric in which it was possible to fix the most important features of the child. What he loves or does not love, what he knows how to do. He waves his hand on "goodbye," slams the closet doors, etc. Some details of his grandparents may not know. What can you ask your child's parents about? I was inspired by graphical examples of metrics on the Internet. And the original work in After Effects. You can look at it, maybe some texts from there will suit you. https://videohive.net/item/family-memories-baby-photo-album/13709995 In addition, you can use decorative letters with pictures instead of letters. For example, such http://ru.legionfonts.com/fonts/atman-dings https://good-surf.ru/forum/index.php?id=1181000 You can use any images instead of text, for example, icons, flowers, hearts, cars. It all depends on your imagination. I tried to make editing this complex project as simple as possible. On Igor’s advice, I made all the layers “non-clickable”, except for those that require editing. And this is text and photo. In most cases, you will only need to click on the screen in the "objects and animations" to select the desired text layers and layers with photos. This way you can easily find text areas. And if any of them seems redundant to you, you can remove them. The project has a small video tutorial on editing the project with English subtitles. Best regards, Aleina

That's cool! Thank you, Dom! And I racked my brain how to make transparent text with a stroke. Best regards, Aleina/

This is a very beautiful album. Excellent made flipping effect and page thickness. Bravo! I have a small suggestion to add some shadows. I think that with shadows your album will become more realistic. I added some shadows to Photoshop and showed where. In the middle of the book. Under the flipped page. And under the photo mounts. And I think that it would be better to slightly increase the speed of appearance of photos on the last 2 pages. It will be a beautiful style! Best regards, Aleina

I liked your option, it turns out realistic, the pages are voluminous, cardboard. And did you manage to make it so that when you turn over the number of pages on the left increases and decreases on the right? I also want to see your result. This is an interesting suggestion, thanks!

Yes, I noticed that too. It’s a good option.

This is a cool parallax! It looks very pretty! I really like that you are constantly working to improve your styles. Sometimes I think it's already impossible to do it even better, but here you have a new version coming out! And it is even more beautiful!

It is right. If we do not strive for excellence, we will not have professional growth. I am also a perfectionist. And I always appreciate such advice.

wideangle, nelson, stranger2156, JRR Thanks for your feedback! Thanks to you, I can look at my work from the other side and find its strengths and weaknesses, and I already have several ideas for improving the template. Thank you all very much! That is a good idea, Paul! It is technically very interesting to create a “real book”, but I understand that sometimes the result is not worth such a big effort. Your option deserves attention. Thank you for your opinion. I will still work on the shadows.

It looks great! The movements are softer. And the inscriptions look very harmoniously and decorate the photographs.

thedom, wideangle Thank you very much for your feedback and suggestions for improving my work! I am very grateful to you! Thanks for the advice, I think it can really improve visual perception. So far I do not know what to do with this problem. There is a transition at this place. Previously, the glitch was much stronger. I completely redid the book 2 times because of this glitch. But later I want to completely redo the concept of the book in order to reduce the number of layers with shadows in which I got confused. My first book is a little defective. I did not have enough experience. I completely agree with these proposals and will definitely work on these improvements. No, I do not work in the kids sector. My tendency to create childish templates is related to my desire for animation. It is in children's templates that there is a wide scope of application of my interests. Thank you very much for your kind words! I understand that animation distracts a lot of attention. And I always have to make this difficult choice. Animation or photos? How difficult it is when you love both of these things equally. But my opinion is inclined towards animation precisely in children's works. Since children are more interested in looking at what is happening around them, rather than looking at their own photos. And the kids have great reactions to my animated templates. Of course, I would like it to look nice to adults as well.

mhwarner, JRR Thanks for your feedback and for the suggestions for improving the work. Your opinion is very important to me. Quite possible. It is always difficult for me to maintain balance with my love for the animation of everything that I see. I will definitely consider your opinion in the following works. I think it's possible. But for this you need a little more experience in working with the program than I have. Your idea is great and I will try to make such an effect. Best regards, Aleina
