Seabird Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 I'm working on a new show just using a mouse click to change pictures. (No music required for this one.)When I go into Preview, the programme jumps over a number of slides then cuts out before the end of the show. There are 165 images in totalCan anyone help? Quote
nobeefstu Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 Seabird,Since you are building a totally manual slide show ... have you set the correct Project Option ?See attachment. Quote
Seabird Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Posted October 21, 2011 Many thanks for getting back.My version does not have a control tab. I find most of your recommendations under the advanced tab.My settings are as you suggest apart from the "wait for a key press box for space or R" I don't have that box to check.I have a mouse button box which I set to next slide option for first and subsequent slides.This has worked in the past.Another thing that is happening is that although I can highlight slides in the timeline, they are not being shown in the preview screen and these are the images that are jumped and locked out.Think it may be as well to remove the programme and reload from the key.

davegee Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 Open PTEClick on Help>AboutIn V6.5 the CONTROL Tab was labelled ADVANCED.Can you post a screen shot of the TIMELINE showing the slides that you can highlight but not see in Preview.Your transition times are probably longer than the overall slide duration.DG Quote
Seabird Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Posted October 21, 2011 Thanks guys. Off to Camera Club now but will try your ideas later. I am getting a message that says transition times are longer than slide time so maybe that is the problem. But I don't know what to do about it. Sorry to be so pathetic. I'm better at taking pics than putting them in a slide show! Quote
davegee Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 In Slide view or the Timeline View highlight all of the slides which are effected.Click on Customise Slide and set slide duration (in Main Tab) to 6 seconds and in the EFFECT Tab click on "Use Own Transition Effect" and change the Effect Duration to 2 seconds.This should cure your problem.If you have "Keep Full Slide Duration" ticked and you are NOT inserting Video - UNTICK it - you don't need it.You can now adjust your slide durations and transition times as you require them making sure that you don't cause an overlap situation.DG Quote
