SCROLLING TEXT OVER MULTIPLE SLIDES

[orizaba]

Hi Jose,

First, save your slideshow under another PTE name so you have a backup. Next save each bmp as a jpg with your desired level of compression but do not delete the original bmp or change the folder where they reside. It would be better to first copy them to another folder and work from there.

Use Irfanview or other batch conversion tool to copy all files to jpgs then open your duplicate slideshow (the one you saved under another PTE file name). Go to the main slide list and look above the mini-player and find between "comment" and "add sound" a tab which says "Change ima...." This allows you to substitute any image selected in the slide list with any other image while preserving all timings, keyframes, etc. Do this for each image.

Best regards,

Hi Lin,

It worked!!!

You can not imagine how helpful you have been! I thank you very much!

This project will be around 200 slides. Now it is 42. Using JPG I changed from 192,3 MB to actual 51,3 MB. Audio (42:06, mp3) is 38,5 MB. So I think final project will be around 100 MB.

To convert BMP to JPG I used my favourite image software ARCSOFT PHOTO STUDIO 5.5, which I always use to work on my pictures. I used a 90% quality and I got the mentioned 51,3 MB estimating a final 100 MB. What do you think? Is it a great mistake? I can imagine my viewers downloading 100 MB... and waiting for a long, long time!

The problem is that all these slides (and some more thousands...) were shot in 1968/1970 with a CANON QL 25 (aperture 2,5), in Africa (hot, high humidity, etc.) and they are not in good order. I have scanned them now, the job was not brilliant, so, actual quality is not so good. This is why I use 90% because I can not sacrifice even more their poor quality. Am I right? What would you suggest?

Best regards and thanks again,

Jose
