No problem, Lin, it is now in the right place. Thanks a lot ! Best Regards Jean-Cyprien

Thank you so much, Lin, for your Christmas greeting ! Don't you want to put it yourself on Diapositif forum ? Mine is due on Diapositif only the 24th december, so it's not possible for me to put it on WnSoft forum before this date. But I wish you all a Merry Christmas ! Jean-Cyprien

Very nice pictures and when I think of how difficult they are to do... ! Lighting, glint... Bravo Lin ! (and I don't speak of Photoshop work !) An interesting arts and crafts, and a nice AV Thanks Lin, Merry Christmas to you too, and to those you love Best regards Jean-Cyprien

Thanks so much, Lin ! I'm sure everone is able to do the same with the style, so easy to use ! Thanks to PTE, Igor and his team ! Best regards Jean-Cyprien

Thank you very very much, Lin, for the demo you've done, and the translation of the instructions. Better than my calendar, which I was not able to put on the Slideshowclub yesterday (perhaps due to Internet ?) Best regards, Jean-Cyprien

See my 2014 Advent Calendar in Slideshowclub demo Here is just my delicacy of the day (the 2nd of december) All you have to do is (possibly) install the font Kingthings Christmas (see dafont) , making 25 views with 24 images plus 1 background image (the 25th view). Import and apply the style, wait (oh, yes! This is often very very very long), add a nice little text to wait, make an exe and serve on a plate! It's really not complicated ! Ask if you have question. There is a very detailed "manual" but in French. SapinBabel.ptestyle

Hi Lin, You have done a tremendous job, Lin, and I'm really surpised that no one have yet answered. I'm sure there are a lot of improvements to make to my style (I'm always eager to finish too quickly !) , but the lack of interest (real ?) is not very encouraging. Best regards

Of course, I agree with davegee. It is very important to be able to paste a child with a lot of work under a specific parent, with all the work done to it. Not just to the background " The 'child' might have had quite a bit of work done to it " Exactly, and it is a very good thing that we can copy the child with all this important work previously done, without to do it again. It is easier to erase what was done, than to do it again. You can also use the original child. It is without any work.

All your transitions must be done in Slide Options. It is also better that all the boxes of the transitions in Project options are unchecked. (you'll have a cut if no particular transition in Slide option) Is it the case with your project ?

What do you mean by "move layer" ? Move the position of the file (up, down) ? If yes, it's also possible to move it with CTRL or shift + PgUp or PgDn

Very good news, this is a good surprise, thanks Igor !

Sorry to have used the wrong word. Of course it's better to avoid confusion. I'll try to do better the next time !!! Regards Jean-Cyprien

I've tested with wav mp3 and ogg For me, it's like Denis has described : the new audiofile is no longer linked with the view as the previous audiofile was, although the box is still checked and the number of the view still visible. You have to uncheck the box, to re-check it, and then to write the number of the view. >> If the audiofile is no longer linked to a view, the box must be automatically unchecked. Or if the case stay checked, the audiofile must stay linked.

Thanks MUR, When you move a view, the following views move too. And so, all the audioclips attached to those files move too, Not those linked with the views which precede the view you move. That is, I think a normal way to work. You don't agree ? What I find surprising is to mix the audioclips as you've done. Usually, the audioclip N is below the view N - or not far - and linked to this view N, not to an other. If you put the audioclip N under the view P, and then you want that the audioclip N stay with the view P, you have to change the link from N to P. Not just to change its position.

Sorry, I've answered to rapidly. In Animation, put the opacity at 100% again. In Properties choose Transparent for the theme. It's more transparent that the other. Put Bottun opacity to 0% All the button files are to be put above the other files (such as the masks)

You're welcome, Judy ! Note that instead of a button, you could use a frame (invisible by default) to do the same things (even, a picture), and - as the button - at the top of the files

It is necessary to put the buttom at the top of the file. Its opacity could be put to zero, it'll be valid. Here is a quick example, if it can help you Button.zip

Sorry, MUR, but I don't understand what you do: I did it with 8 slides and 6 very short audioclips Link audioclip 6 to slide 2 and then audioclip 2 ro slide 5 OK. But what about the audioclips 1 3 4 and 5 ? and later : In the second case, link also audioclip 7 to slide 2 But you have only 6 audioclips ? Regards Jean-Cyprien

Hi MUR, I've made a tutorial with a lot of explanation for this BézierCurve Maker http://diapositif.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=36573 But unfortunately for you, it's in French, so I fear it'll not be very useful for you. But do try it all the same ! The BézierCurve Maker is self-sufficient, and it is absolutely unnecessary to know a language such as Pascal... Regards Jean-Cyprien

Hi Gary, You could also use the border in Properties/Adjust image and border : width and color Best regards Jean-Cyprien

You have to duplicate your files (Perhaps you could put all your files as children of a frame) Then move the keypoints of each duplicate file (with CTRL + E) by the delay' time and play with the opacity. If this new images are shadows, their files must be under the original files

Hi Mur, It is possible to do it in a view, in the same way as I have made it in this AV : http://www.slideshowclub.com/files/file/171-two-poppies/ You have to cut the view in ribbons. A lot of ribbons, so you have to use the help of Excel (or a similar software) I've made a transition where you could see how to do (by editing it). It needs a lot of power, so the fluidity is not always there. Note that I've used masks, but it's certainly possible to do the same things with the canvas size (of Properties/Adjust image and border) Regards Jean-Cyprien Ouverture_Centre(1).zip

It's always very interesting to look at old photos, specially when we could know where and when they were taken. And also when we know the identity of the figures. Thank you, Lin. I thought I'll look at a lot of Civil War photos. Perhaps it's better with only the few you've put here : unfortunately this is the sad reality of all the wars ! As I'm also interested by old photographic processes and techniques, I remember having looked at the Civil War 150 Pinhole Project : http://civilwar150pinholeproject.com/ Of course, at the time, the photos were just in Black and White. But I like the smoothness and the hazy ambiance of some of them. Best regards Jean-Cyprien

Thanks to you both !

I'm not sure I understand what you write. For me 3 fps capture and 30 fps playback = is not 10 x capture time but capture time /10 You have an acceleration, as for your video in example. With 1 fps capture, your movement is more accelerated. In this way you can see - for example - the blossoming of flower in a few seconds, the movement of the clouds and the sun, or the stars by night... the racing of snails, If your camera is able to take more then 30 fps, you'll then see a "slow motion", and for example to see 300 fps capture and 30 fps playback will be really take 10xcapture time You'll then be able to study the flight of the birds, See the numerous example in "Slow motion" with Google
