JohnFeg Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 I have made a little demo in V. 5 #6. It is, in fact, the introductory sequence for a Slideshow being prepared for showing at our local Camera Club.As it’s very topical, thought you might like to see a preview.Al Robinson has kindly offered to host it on his site for a few days.It can be downloaded at http://www.alrobinson.com/Autumn_Demo.zipJohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'm pretty sure it has been backed up. If so I'll dig it out in the morning. If I dont have the project file "as you saw it", I'll cobble an extract together from what I'm now working on.I'll ask the Dom if he will host it again.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he picks it up you can download it.I left off the music and the 2 last "fill in" slides to keep the size down.As a matter of interest, the slideshow itself is almost finished. Unless the Gods frown upon me, it will be on Beechbrook tomorrow.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John,Loved your Demo and was quite taken by the Font you used for your Title, would you mind sharing it's nameand how we can obtain it, It will be perfect for a sequence I have in the planning stage.Tom.Tom, the text is based on a font called "Ravie" it's a standard, so, if you have Widows XP you probably already have it.You need to create the text effect, either as individual letters, or, as words, in Photoshop.Start off with a suitably sized JPG image (leaf litter in this case) Then:a) select the horizontal mask tool type your words or letters in the selected font at an appropriate sizec) put the selection/s you thus create onto a new layer (Ctr. J)d) Open a new suitably sized transparent document.e) drag the layer of letters/words onto the transparent document. Resize if required.f) merge visible layers > crop to size > save as PNGIf you don't have the font and/or Photoshop, (and providing you don't want to rewrite "War & Peace!") you can send me the words/letters you want to use, with a picture for the text "infill", then I'll knock it together and mail it to you.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I have a corrupt version of the font? Any ideas?Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomuk Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Hi! JohnI have sent you an e-mail about this, I have the same problem as Ron. I have chosen a different Font for my project but followed your method. saving each letter to a seperate layers as Png files and then using individual letters as objects onto one slide in 5B5, the result thanks to you is quite staggering, thanks once again.Tom.

I will keep on checking until he uploads it.I am particularly interested in learning how you created those small 'falling leaves' in your demo - it looks so real and professional. The animation you used in PTE is superb and I want to be able to do that too! Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedom Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 I'm quite busy, that's right and about beeing busy I apologize to people who send me emails, I didn't took time to answer yet. Anyway, I will be happy be happy to host the project file if John send it to me because it seems it interests a lot of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPan Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Hello,I have watched the slideshow (Autumn), but I have a problem with the sound. I know Beta 5 is not yet done (wonder when it will!), but whenever I play "any" slideshows made with B5 or B6, the sound is "chirping" or "crackling", I can hear the music but it's not very pretty Any of you had that kind of problems?Maybe there is something I should do with XP to make it work better, but I don't know what. Could it be a Direct X problem?I have version 4.48 and I don't have any sound problem with that version.My system:WinXP ProNVidia GeForce2 GTSCreative SB Live! 512Mb RAMThanks for any clue on how to resolve this dilemma -Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronniebootwest Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 No it's definitely "Ravie" I've e-mailled you the font and also the project for the Demo.JohnThanks John, I have received the font (RAVIE) and also your project. I will now spend some time with it to see if I can work out what you have done. I think I can see your method and I reckon the animation will take a little while but will be well worth it.Thanks for sharing it with us.Ron.

Tomuk Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Cheers John,I have also received the font, I needed a font like this for a Halloween sequence I am working on for an evening of A.V. I am doing at my Photo Society,thanks for your help.Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a "san-serif" TrueType font, similar to Arial, but I don't know where I originally picked it up - I think it either came with XP, or with MS Publisher.

But, I havn't a clue where I picked it up. I'm planning to wipe my drive and reinstall everything in the new year, so, now I know it's not an MS font I'll back it up before I lose it!Thanks also for those useful links.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
