Hi Barry Welcome to PTE. As a quick first comment I would say excellent photography and nice to see true verticals, well done. At the moment there is a discussion going on about transitions fro horizontal to vertical shots in a show, some agree, most dont but yours was an effective attempt which would have been stronger if the fade in had been 2 verticals which then faded in and out. Likewsie with the final transition back to horizontal. Also I found the music change a bit jarring and did not quite match up with the images. Welcome show which we be kept, hope to see more.

Personaly I would put create exe first, followed by screen saver next then the next 2 sections as is, in the order they exist. Reason one as others have mentioned "create exe" is the best quality, but it also logically flows, the first 2 options are directly concerned with the immediate computer, the next 4 are extra to the computer and can be on your or other peoples tv's etc and the final 2 are totally remote, ie via the the interent. So the flow is perfect from the immediate EXEcellent quality going through a different quality to the periphery Mike Mersea Island

Lin Your analysis is quiet right. This product was developed out of a BBC Microcomputer program over 20 years ago. With the demise of the BBC computer the company moved onto the PC scene and XARA was their first product and as been known as a very fast programme ever since. They first developed it for the Acorn Archimedes as a XARA named programme and on that machine it ran faster Than Corel did on a fast PC, fast for then that is! As you state you can do terrific text effects in seconds, I too would recommend it, in fact my first show on Beechbrook, "Fields of Fire" was titled using ZARA Mike L Davies Mersea Island

Would Help if I said its available on BeechBrook. Thanks Bill

New show totally different to my normal shows. As with all shows, comments most welcome Lloegyr Mike Mersea Island

This bit got missed off the last bit. I check Beechbrook every morning and the first thing I do is check new shows and download and view. It was not long into 'feedin the beef...' when I thought hey I know that guy! I decided it was none other than Lumenlux. Sure enough when I susequently read the postings my feelings were confirmed. Nice tranquil show that simply reflects good old life. Regards Mike Mersea Island

Hi Ken Many thanks for your kind offer if you could send them to MikeDsea@aol.com it would be most appreciated. Many thanks Mike

Hi all, after reading the above I thought what a good tool. But I have been trying all morning to download it from the site but does not work, it takes forever then cancells. Can any one tell me if there is something else to do? Mike Mersea Island, England

sorry about font size, not use to this new layout yet Mike Mersea Island

Hi Lin Just did download no problem, 234KB/sec consistent, so just over 2 mins. Not bad for a small island off the coast of England, the most easterly inhabited one in Britain. Mike L Davies Mersea Island England sorry about that all.

Sorry about that miss posting. What Ron says is correct, "what you hear" is tied in with the sound card with creative cards Mike Mersea Island England

Actually for over 25 years I have been using times that fit with the music, with the images and with the technology, whether it was a mechanical fader controlled by a brake cable, a multi projector setup controlled by clear light dissolve equipment or indeed PTE. Thats what I though AV shows were about! Seems to be too much heavy technical talk about at the moment. One of my shows that was on Beechbrook 3 years ago that lasted 16m 23 secs was timed to precision when PTE did not have the facilities that it now as, (as Igor will confirm I did first suggest that the timeline should be able to be zoomed in on, and that helped a lot) and it still works perfectly to the 20 millisec's on 4 crucial points 15 mins 5 secs into the show, not to mention the other critical points throughout the entire presentation. It always strikes me that if you want to achieve a result you will always find a way to do so. I find the tools that I have worked with have never let me down if I take the time to learn how to use them. Regards Mike Mersea Island England

Thanks Michel That was quick, I just found my original key from years ago, but still not sure what to do yet as the entire system seems bad, search will not even work and other things from desktop. Many thanks I will keep trying. I am worried about losing so much, just glad that I know it is going wrong Michael Mersea Island England
