JPD Posted February 10, 2008 Report Posted February 10, 2008 I was absent from this forum during a long period.Now that I am better, I come back with a slideshow dedicated to all my friends who supported me during the difficult moments.Here is the slideshow : Dis la nostalgie Quote
Tomuk Posted February 10, 2008 Report Posted February 10, 2008 Welcome home Jean-Pierre,It’s good to see you back amongst us, and, I hope in the very best of health. What a way to herald your return, you sequence was brilliant, the animation was right on the pace of the sound track, the whole thing was very well crafted. I particularly liked the use of noise? on your closing image, very original, I think I shall (borrow) the idea.Tom Quote

JPD Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Posted February 11, 2008 Thanks to you, I am back and read, since yesterday, many posts I hadn't read. This forum is always interesting and I'll try to go there everydays. During this long period, I was enable to finish a work, but I always work on PTE, which become better and better. So I am still abble to answer correctly to technical questions about use of PTE, what I'll do.I must thank all my friends of Diapositif who help me during these bad days. Quote

xahu34 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 Hello JPD,I was impressed when I watched your show, in particular by the distortion and animation effects within the yellow window. Distortion isn't that difficult, I found it harder to implement a zoom effect in a situation where it is impossible to mask the zooming image using a transparent part in the the background. I tried to do it myself. The result is something like a layered construction of identical (but differently cropped) copies of the same image inside the window. During zooming each layer is stopped before it reaches the outer boundary of the yellow frame. Is this the way you do it?Just one question. Why didn't you desaturate the yellow hose on the image with the children? Kind regardsXaver H.Munich Quote
JPD Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Posted March 1, 2008 I found it harder to implement a zoom effect in a situation where it is impossible to mask the zooming image using a transparent part in the the background.That's right, it's enough difficult to do, but the most difficult was to assembly about 30 photos to make the background zoom (68:1). I tried to do it myself. The result is something like a layered construction of identical (but differently cropped) copies of the same image inside the window. During zooming each layer is stopped before it reaches the outer boundary of the yellow frame. Is this the way you do it?That's an idea, but to heavy, it wouldn't have run correctly on not powerfull PC. You can look at the template here how it's done. Just one question. Why didn't you desaturate the yellow hose on the image with the children?You're right, I tought to mask it on the main zoom not on this photo, I'll probably modify this photo, thanks for this good remark.

xahu34 Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Hello Jean-Pierre,thank you very much for your information and the template (provided at a very reasonable price). Here is my test template for a 20% Zoom in a Window: Less sophisticated, but also less laborious.Kind regardsXaverMunich Quote
JPD Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Posted March 3, 2008 Hello Jean-Pierre,thank you very much for your information and the template (provided at a very reasonable price). Here is my test template for a 20% Zoom in a Window: Less sophisticated, but also less laborious.Kind regardsXaverMunichI try your template, it run fine, no problem, I didn't use this method because I have a zoom at 400% and it would have need 42 pictures, it would have been too heavy (about 54 Mo in graphic card memory) to run on not powerfull PC. It's why I used this method.Since I have found another method, more complex but without frame.I hope use it soon in a new slideshow. Quote
xahu34 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 Hello Jean-Pierre,thank you again for your very cooperative attitude. I think, both methods are based on the same idea, keeping in mind that it was yours, and that I only tried to imitate it. On the other hand, I would not like it that much to cut an image into 50 ore more stripes and pieces. Kind regardsXaverMunich Quote
