The oldie Posted January 5, 2004 Report Posted January 5, 2004 Hi everyone who might help.Made 4 sequences which run fine on PC and Laptop from exe file.Have just made intro with one pic and 4 object buttons to start each sequence. Then created exe file for this intro.On PC this works well. On Laptop there is a jerkiness to transitions which is not normally seen. If the same sequence is run from the Hard disc of the Laptop no problem.Spec of Laptop ;- 1500 Athlon 4 , 256 ram, 32MB Video S3 Twister K.Spec of PC :- Athlon 2400, 512 RAM, NVidea G Force Ti 4200. I find the difference very strange.As I use the laptop for showing sequences with a borrowed high spec digital projector, it would be good to start a show with the nice intro screen before starting each sequence,Any ideas.Alan in UK Quote
alrobin Posted January 5, 2004 Report Posted January 5, 2004 Alan,I have had problems, too, running a show from the cd player on my laptop. It seems the solution in your case, as in mine, is to copy to the hd first. Quote
OGL Posted January 5, 2004 Report Posted January 5, 2004 Hi, Alan.I think it is problem CD driver chipset of your Laptop.Regards, Oleg Quote
The oldie Posted January 5, 2004 Author Report Posted January 5, 2004 Very many thanks to both Al and Oleg for the help.Maybe when I am feeling rich I can update my laptop for a better graphics and sound card!All the same I have used it to show sequences using a splendid new digital projector acquired by my Photo Club, and they ran very well.Incidentally Al, I think I have already complimented you on your splendid PTE Tutorial some time ago on the forum. I used it as the basis of a workshop I did for the Club using the laptop. All went very well including showing a couple of sequences at the end.Once again many thanks,Regards and very best wishes for 2004,Alan in UK. Quote
Igor Posted January 7, 2004 Report Posted January 7, 2004 Alan, what usual graphical size (in pixels) and file size (in Kbytes) of the image of a slide?And what version of PTE you have used to produce all those slide-shows? Quote
elIvarz Posted January 8, 2004 Report Posted January 8, 2004 Hello! Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that in earlier PTE versions we had simple transition such type as slide in-slide out. With such transition creating end screens with scrolling credits can be very simple?To Igor: Igor - isn't this a way? And - S rozdjestvom Hrystovym! el Quote
Igor Posted January 8, 2004 Report Posted January 8, 2004 There is no such transition effect earlier.We could add it now, but this effect doesn't look smooth (on many technical reasons). However it's suitable for title or finish stages of slide-show (e.g. text appearing). Probably it better to realize it in personal settings of a slide only?p.s. Thanks! Quote
The oldie Posted January 8, 2004 Author Report Posted January 8, 2004 Igor, I have made the sequences with images max size around 250/300kb each. I have an mp3 sound line and the screen set for all images is 1024 x 768.I have had no problems with transition smoothness on either laptop or PC using these sizes. The four sequences I used for the startup intro using buttons was 46 mb55.5mb21.3mb and 33mb.The intro itself was 474 kb.Thanks for the help and add my congratulations on a great program!!Alan Quote
The oldie Posted January 8, 2004 Author Report Posted January 8, 2004 Igor,Sorry I forgot to include that I have been using PTE 4.20 beta 4 for tha lst two the earlier two may have been a beta or two earlier, but all fairly up to date.Alan Quote
