That's great - is there a demo to follow? DG

it is a Basic Style meaning that all i have done in both styles is the "hard work" of splitting the image into 20 horizontal Strips. It appears that it does nothing until you look at the Objects Panel. You can animate any or all of the Strips. DG

I will PM you. DG

I won't Labour it any longer Thanks. DG

Thanks Barry, I can't help thinking that you mis-read the question. At present in V9 we have: 16x9 = 1920x1080 3x2 = 1920x1280 Would it not make more sense if they both had the same height instead of the same width?? It's OK - I can live with it. DG

Barry, Do you have an opinion on the default 3x2 resolution? To me, it would make more sense if it were 1620x1080. However, it is easy to make a Template. DG

I'm thinking that 1920x1280 is WRONG! I will have to make a 1620x1080 Template!! DG

Lin, I think that I have found the problem. The default resolution for 3:2 is 1920x1280. To enable the Style to work you need 1620x1080. In a 3:2 1620x1080 Project this Style will work OK - I just tweaked the original a little bit.. Strips 1620x1080.ptestyle DG

I can see what you mean - Sorry - 16x9 Only. Will you do the others? DG

16x9 in 16x9 Project. I default to 16x9 these days. I would love to see a comments box for the Style Creator - I have suggested it more than once. DG P.S. What AR did you use (out of interest).

Denis, You should post here and then we would know! DG

Your post including stripes brought this to mind. Lots of possibilities. DG

It is nice to see Strips/Stripes making a come-back. I resurrected this old project to see if I could make a Custom Transition or Style from it. The Demo is in the ZIP and the basic Styles are also added. Please feel free to use them as the basis for further experiments. Strips.zip Strips 01 Horizontal.ptestyle Strips 02 Horizontal.ptestyle Just add a single image and apply either style. Animation not included. DG P.S. 16x9 Images in 16x9 Projects only - so far

Nice Demo

I think that we have to take these things to their conclusion or until they cannot go any further before deciding what works and what doesn't. If you remember the chronology of this thing I played around with Windows and Masks for a while until Igor saw something that he liked and wanted to create a Preset Style for. However, someone thought that it could/should be done in PTE in a way that he could understand and that prompted Igor to introduce the Framing feature. Who knows, we might get to another Eureka moment and something else could come out of it. There is one feature which I am still waiting for which is crucial to this technique and I will carry on until we get it. DG

Gogs, I have been experimenting with things like the one shown below where I have mixed Framing with PTE generated Masks. Animation of all elements inside and outside of the Framing/Masks but I am not sure if the effort required is worth it

Styles used above - 16x9 Project 3x2 Images (2). Framing Triptych 3x2 New 180H.ptestyle Framing Triptych 3x2 New 180Hx3.ptestyle Framing Triptych 3x2 New 180V.ptestyle Framing Triptych 3x2 New 180Vx3.ptestyle DG

Fun with Triptychs:

It's a difficult one because the Mask in this case is a Video Clip and you need to pause the Video Clip. DG

Just increase the Slide Duration. Incidentally, if the style does not "cover" the Image 1, go to O&A and change the Mask Container to Cover Slide in the Common Tab. DG

Daniel, As Lin pointed out the Border is not essential but I think that it looks so much nicer DG

Click on the envelope and raise it. To raise a small section click four times, two either side of where you are going to raise it. Drag the inner two key points upwards. Search for envelope in the Online Help. DG

Does this help: http://docs.picturestoexe.com/v9/main?&#framing DG

You can MUTE the sound of the Video Clip and add it as an Audi clip. That way, you can apply an envelope to the audio of the video clip. This procedure is described in the Online Help.

Version 9 Beta has arrived and the Brightness/Contrast Parameters have been delivered.
