On the 31st of October as part of our Pilgrimage to Auschwitz and Birkenau, we [ The Old Comrades of the Ayrshire [ ECO ] Yeomanry, visited the Salt mines in the suburbs of Krakow. The experience was incredible, almost 500ft below the surface was a labyrinth of caverns and chambers with intricate carvings and statues made entirely from salt. On my last visit to Auschwith [ 2009 ] I didnt get to see this, but thankfully we did this time.. This is my interpretation of that visit..

Great idea John. Thank you for your help. I do appreciate it. It makes perfect sense. Again John, another very relevant pointer. It always amazes me how come I didn't see that at the time. Every days a school day. Thank you so much for the help. Andrew.

This is to big for the slideshow club, so I'll include it here if I may. I was privileged to be able to attend the 100th Anniversary Service of the Battles of Arras and Vimy during WW1. There was a service in the Scottish War Memorial in Edinburgh Castle followed by the band of HM Royal Marines and the Royal British Legion ' Beating Retreat ' on the Esplanade. Despite being bitterly cold there was a good attendance of old comrades and public. I do hope you see something you may like. Thanks to Lin Evans for talking me thro the sound issues.

Well, I've got my sound track done and I have to say, v9.5 is an awesome piece of kit. Being able to use my video soundtracks in the presentation really gives it ' Authenticity ' and ' Reality '. Thank you Lin for pointing me in the right direction [ again ]. Andrew.

Thank you Lin, I'm getting onto that now. I'm beginning to see it. I might just get it before I turn 80!!! Thank you for your patience. Andrew.

I have mastered [ said with tongue in cheek ] that issue and could use a leg up with the next phase.... adding a track to play during the non video slides. That is a ' main ' track which I can ' mute ' during the video's. Do I just add another track? Does it appear on the timeline above or below the video tracks? I'm a bit lost. Andrew.

wow. Thanks Lin, thats exactly what I wanted. I'd never have figured that one out.

I have added some video to a number of slides in v9.5. However when they transition, the sound in the video starts rather abruptly. Is there a way to fade in the sound with the transition so as not to ' shock ' the viewer. I do hope I've explained that correctly. Kindest regards Andrew.

Thanks Mick, yep, still plodding on mate. We visit the Ypres area every year and plan to do so for many yet [ if we're lucky ]. This year we're heading for the Somme. Hopefully get some good material. Andrew.

Probably something I did. LOL My eyes aint what they used to be,

If anyone can tell me why its all lined thro, i'd be most grateful.

In this anniversary year of Passchendale and the Somme, In June 2016 we visited the many Commonwealth War Graves of the area surrounding the Belgian town of Ypres [Leper]. The cemeteries are kept in the most beautiful condition by the staff of the CWGC. after the end ow WW I the [then] King ordered that " A Rose be placed upon each of the fallen" and thus a rose was planted on each of the Graves. This has been diluted by successive administrations and not stands at 1:3. However the CWGC staff are determined to return to the original order and are currently creating a massive number of plants from their own stock. What struck me was the way they are planted. The flowering Roses almost seem to be caressing the stones. I do hope you'll see something you like in this tribute to the Gardeners. Yours Aye Andrew https://www.slideshowclub.com/files/file/470-bloomin-battlefields/

Thank you all. I have it now. ' Learning all the Time '.

I want to put text on every slide in what's going to be a large presentation. Every time I click add text it comes up with the Ariel font. Is there a way to get the font I want to use to stay as the default please? Andrew

oh dear, This is where I claim a senior pass. I just noticed the scroll bar at the side and scrolled down and the track is there with all the wee dots and things. My apologies for what has turned out to be a waste of everyones time. Andrew

Its windows 10 Lin and yes thats exactly whats happening. I cant select the ' bottom ' track to edit it except in full screen mode. I'll zip up the project and post a link today. project zip here: I'm not having much success with this link thingy. its trailertrashaudiovisual.com/tattoofaces.zip

I've done a couple of screen shots to show the issue. It wont let me select the main soundtrack even if another slide is selected. It does however let me select the ST when in full screen mode.

I had to add a sound to an individual slide and managed to get the fades and the wee dots etc all in the right place. Feeling very self important I then tried to edit the main soundtrack [ which I had turned off or ' faded to zero ' ] during the slide. I couldn't get the thing to select the main soundtrack as it held on to the slide with sound added in the timeline view. I did manage to get it to select the main soundtrack in full screen mode eventually. I'd really like to know what I did wrong, since I managed to get everything done in p2e and had to work without Audacity which doesn't seem to like win10. Andrew

Superb as usual Barry. This will go into my Scottish folder. However I have to dispute the geological theory. Everyone knows on the first day of creation God looked at Scotland, and said " That's perfection, no need to change a thing ".

Great win Mark. How good it is to see my homeland in such glory.

The show appears to be gone?

Oh my word. That's just ' Pure Dead Brilliant ' as we say here. Its SO good to see the template being put to such good use, and a credit line too. I'm gobsmacked. Well done Bert. Fantastic show.

ok but where does it live?

Thanks Dave. That seems so simple yet I didn't see it. Must be age.
