The Usk Show - Animation without the Frame

[Ronniebootwest]

One of the comments on my last slide show (Animated Frame Slide Show) was that the frame was intrusive.

Maybe this new slide show, without the frame, will be more to your liking.

I realise that people will always have a personal opinion but I welcome comments from all of you.

Hi Ronnie,

Would love to watch your show but after trying to download both versions both yesterday and today from Mediafire, I haven't had any luck. Even after clicking the various "download" buttons, it never gets to the actual point of downloading.

I will have to say (and this is not only to you but others as well who use Mediafire), when I see that someone has posted a slideshow there, I typically do not even bother to try to download it as it is a PITA to do so. I guess I am wondering why folks without their own server/account capability don't just use Bill's free and always easy-to-use Beechbrook capability he so generously provides?

Hi Ronnie,

Downloaded your show from Mediafire without a problem. Enjoyed it much more without the frames, again great photos. Never had any problems with Mediafire except when Virgin Media stopped talking to them but now is all okay. I have my own website and my a/v's can be downloaded from the site and it is much quicker than Mediafire or Bill's site. Don't understand the technical aspects or why you should not upload your A/v's to your site and give members the URL so they can download from there.

Thanks for your tutorials, which I shall acknowledge on your web site

Mary,

It is a pity that you are having problems with Mediafire - nobody else has ever reported a problem with the downloads!

However, I have uploaded the slide show to my web site and you can download it from there.

I have sent you a PM with the link.

Thanks Ronnie!

I downloaded from your site with no problems. Don't know what was happening with Mediafire as I tried again several times and never got the download to start.

In any case, I enjoyed your show. It looks like the event was great fun. I especially liked the horse event photos. You have some nice shots of the jumping. With regard to the animation, I honestly cannot say that it added a great deal to the show for me. I found that seeing so much of the white background as the images "flew" away was a bit distracting but that's just my opinion, of course.

Thanks for sharing the show and for adding the additional download.

Hi Ronnie,

For the folks that like this there is also another template you can play with that is almost identical, very versalite and it's free.

You can download it here. Frame Animation Template

Mary,

MediaFire can be a pain sometimes. I certainly agree with you on that. I decided some time ago not to accept uploads that were linked to MediaFire because very often the links are changed without any notice. And I don't allow advertising (which is on MediaFire) on my site as well.

It does provide an option for many though. But Beechbrook is also here for those that wish hosting elsewhere.

Mickp,

When downloading presentations from Beechbrook, keep in mind that many of those shows are actually located (or linked) from servers scattered across the globe. Not just hosted on my site. Therefore actual download speeds and times can vary greatly.

And all of us know that the speed of a download is only as fast as the "slowest connection" along the way.

Best regards,

Bill

Hi Bill,

I take your point, and I guess (but don't know) that the fact that my little site has a tiny fraction of the stuff on it compared with yours, then that might make a difference in speed. I was just suggesting that if people have their own site, why not use it.

I look forward to seeing many more A/V's on your site.

In my experience, hardware has more to do with transmission speeds and performance than does the amount of 'stuff' that our servers can hold. In addition, the number of 'hops' between servers from point A to point B will definitely effect transmission speeds.

In any case... I say just keep those PTE presentations coming, whomever hosts them. I know I certainly enjoy the creativity, subject matter and excellence in photography in so many of them!! The forum has some truly powerhouse members with regards to photographic skills and AV creativity, as well as knowledge in voice-over, image management with presentations, and most importantly a true willingness to share all that knowledge with the rest of us.

All the best,

Bill

Totally agree, Bill. What a boon it is to have such knowlegable advice available on this site plus I learn something from nearly every show I look at.
