JRR Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Welcome Glazzers:Making an object move across the screen is not really a feature of PTE as we are dealing with slides(stills), not movies. But you might want to try one of the new transitions that Igor has introduced. Make sure you are working with the latest version: 4.20.8"Overlays" are achieved outside of PTE in your photoediting software. Create your non-overlay image, then the overlay image and fade them together in PTELook at this show"Olga Boritsch, Photographer" at Beechbrook cottage for some great examplesHope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Glassers,There is a way to do this in P2E also. There are other threads on this topic somewhere. Here is how I do it:-use a photo editing program to make your pictures smaller if needed (many of us use a free program called "IrfanView"). This way your photos won't take up the whole screen.-use a one pixel photo or just a low resolution photo of a solid color (usually black or white) as you first slide in the series involving the multiple pictures. This will be your blank background picture that fits the entire screen. -use the "Object Editor" button option (lower right) to bring up the object editor screen for your blank picture. Use the add picture icon (upper left) to add the smaller photos. Move them around as needed.-copy and paste this picture (it will have the same name as the first). Again use the "Object Editor" to add or subtract photos to your blank background.-repeat the above until you have the multiple pictures fading in or out on the same background. You can use the "Customize Slide" button option (lower right) to try different transitions.Hope this helps. Bubba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cottage Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 My little presentation tutorial is still available to explain how this is done using only PTE. Email me at cottage@beechbrook.com if interested. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
