What's best to read first?

[mikegladsz]

Hi! I joined for the first time this week.

I'm sorry for being so lazy, but I was wondering if anyone could show me any threads that I should read first, so I can get involved here?

Many thanks, Mike

Mike,

Welcome to the Forum.

It's very difficult to point to specific threads - the information is covered in so many different places on the Forum. Just dive in and start reading, and following links to other information. Start with version 4.48, and go through the "Help" section. Then download some of the many tutorials available (I have one on my website that is a little out of date, but still covers the basics, and will expose you to some of the terminology, and basics for putting together a show. It can be pulled off at the following site:

http://www.alrobinson.com/shows.htm , or from Beechbrook, the largest collection of PTE shows put together by Forum members:

http://www.beechbrook.com/pte . )

On the WnSoft website there are also some excellent tutorials listed. And, thanks to JW Evans, and Maureen, who listed them in another thread, here are the addresses for some other basic tutorials, in pdf format, courtesy of the Bishopthorpe Camera Club:

Getting Started with PTE v4.48 by Roger Walton

Timeline Functions by JW Evans

Producing a Title Sequence

And if all else fails, please feel free to come back to the Forum for specific answers to any queries you might have. Best of luck!

Sorry, I didn't provide the proper links for the basic tutorials listed above.

Hi Mike

I am approximately in the same position as yourself - this is a great forum - if you go to my thread "complete newbie" there is a lot of information which I too am trying to trawl through today... it is on the PicturesToExe.

Good Luck - we can be newbies together...
