Question about slide transition

Hi there,
I've got a question about slide transition in Captivate 6.0.
By default the slide transition is define with 3 sec. I would like to have transition done manualy, with the navigation, but not after a certain time.
Is it possible ? For now I've insert a next button. But I would prefer to do this via the navigation.
Thanks for your help.

Hi there
Presently the ONLY way to accomplish it is by having an object on each slide that causes the slide to pause. Buttons, Click Boxes, Text Entry Boxes and some of the Widgets cause this behavior.
If you feel it should operate differently, please consider submitting a Wish Form to ask for the capability to be added to a future version. (Link to the Wish Form is in my sig)
Cheers... Rick

  • IMovie plugins + question about a transition

    I heard that Apple has some free iMovie plugins that you can download but I don't know where they are. Does anybody know where?
    There is a transition that I have seen used where the scenes you can see one scene through another. If you want to see it go here
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INx1baOQH_k
    The exact place where it happens is at 1:45. I know that the scenes are slowed down and it looks like a cross dissolve, but when I tried it, it didn't work. Anybody know what was done?
    Oh, and in case you're wondering, no I haven't been able to contact the guy who made the video, otherwise I would've asked him already.

    X_Adagio4389,
    The free plugins that Apple offered was some time ago. I think most of them have long since been incorporated into iMovie.
    As for your other question, it looks like what you're trying to do is not so much a transition as it is the layering of one video image over another.
    One way to do this is with QuickTime Pro. For a serious iMovie user, it's a useful tool. Kind of a Swiss Army knife for video.
    Use Edit>Add to Selection & Scale to add the second video layer. Then open Window>Show Movie Properties. Select the second video track and click Visual Settings.
    Select Blend from the transparency drop down menu and adjust the level of transparency to your liking.
    Export the completed effect to DV Stream and then import that to your iMovie project.
    I know my directions are a bit brief. Post back if you have questions.

  • Question about multiple transitions in imovie6

    Hi all.......I am in the process of converting old mini DV tapes to DVD. What I would like to do is to put a transition between each clip. This is no problem to do manually of course, you just drag the particular transition between 2 clips.
    But this becomes cumbersome with a video that will have 30-40 clips. I have been looking for an option to allow the program to just place multiple transitions automatically, where the programs not only places the transitions but also varies them also. I can't find this option within I movie.
    I have used this opition in Roxio products.
    Do I have any options for what I am referring to? A I missing something?

    Sorry but there is no such option in iMovie nor iDVD6. Needs to be done manually as you stated above.
    You may also want to send apple some feedback (see iMovie Feedback) on this transition request where the application not only places the transitions but also varies them for all imported clips directly to the timeline. It just might be something apple can do for future versions via a dialog box check mark under preferences for iMovie. Good luck and great idea by the way!

  • Transition for Question Pool Slides

    Captivate v5.5
    I have a question pool of 20 slides with 5 random slides in the main project.
    I have applied "Blinds" as a transition option to all 20 slides in the question pool.
    When I test the questions (F8 starting on the slide before the first random question slide), the transitions do not work.
    Any idea?
    Noel

    Hi Rod,
    I previewed the whole project (F4) and still the transition did not work.
    Having to publish it (eg to .exe I presume you mean) before I can check the slide transition seems a little long winded - but I will give it a go just in case.
    Thanks...

  • Question about Id3-tags and song managem

    Hello, I am getting ready to buy a Zen Touch 20GB in a couple of weeks and I have a few questions about the management software.
    (Correct me if I am wrong about something)
    ) Are songs organized into groups by Genre instead of just folders like on the Ipod?
    2) Are Id3-tags used instead of filename for identification?
    3) What parts of the tag are needed besides title and artist?
    4) Which version of tags does the Zen Touch recognize: Version or Version 2?
    5) If I edit my tags using an external program such as Id3-TagIT, will the tags carry over to the Creative software and to the player?
    Thanks a lot for your help. I want to make sure I have my music collection in order before I get my Zen Touch.

    euph_jay wrote:Ok, so lets say I have all my music in folders right now seperated into different categories on my hard dri've. Some folders denote the artist, some the album, and some a genre. Example: Folder: Chicago Contents: Chicago .mp3 files Folder: Techno Contents: various Techno artist's songs What is the best way of organizing my folder system, so that the transition will be easy to the player?
    Folders are pretty much irrelevant. What the software will do is look at the *tags* in the files and then use these to build the player's library.
    Will imbedded folders work on the player? (like Techno->Crystal Method->Cystal Method .mp3's)
    Again the player has no concept of folders, although if you set Techno as a Genre tag you will be able to view via this in the Music Library.
    Or, am I misunderstanding how music is stored into the mp3 player. Instead of storing music in a "folder like" system (like the Chicago folder or Techno folder), does it store all the songs individually on the device? Then you have to sort it by artist, album, or genre?
    Using your example, in the Music Library you have essentially three categories: Album, Artist, and Genre. So under Album you would see "Vegas" (the Crystal Method's album), under Artist you would see "The Crystal Method", and under Genre you would see "Techno" (and then either the album or artist under this... I forget which it is offhand).
    Make sense?

  • Slide transition animation and image in the slide master

    Hi,
    I placed an image in one of the slide masters, because I want that image static in the slide background. But when I add a transition to the slides made with that master, the image I placed is animated too. Should I do something else in the slide master so the image I placed is not affected by the slide transition?
    Macbook Pro Retina with OS X Yosemite and Keynote 6.5
    Regards.

    There is no such thing as an object transition, objects are animated using Builds or Actions:   Inspector > Animate
    I'm referring to "Object Effects" in the Transitions pull down (Object Push, Object Revolve, Object Flip, etc). So yes, technically there is an Object (transition) effect where objects transition between slides.
    Backgrounds do not animate when using Builds or Actions.
    True. However, if you use the last version of Keynote (before 6.5 and the Yosemite update) and place an image on the master slide it will not animate when applying many of the Object Effects.
    When an action or or Build is applied to an objet, the slide or the background does not animate, only the object animates.
    Same point as I made above.
    No EnzoFT said,  "when I add a transition to the slides made with that master, the image I placed is animated too."
    EnzoFT was using a slide transition therefore any object on a slide will be included in the effect.
    If you try what I said above in the previous version of Keynote, it will not animate. However, I found out how to make an image on the master slide NOT animate in Keynote 6.5 (I made a comment earlier in the thread about this). Open the master slide, select the Slide Layout, change the background to Image Fill, and the image won’t animate from one slide to the next when you apply an Object Effects transition to a slide.
    That is a very narrow minded personal opinion.
    Selecting a transition, Build or Action should be based on how it enhances the presentation and what you want to animate; the slide, the object or both.
    Narrow minded personal opinion?!? Do you really need to go there? I was simply making an observation.
    Use Builds or Actions.
    There has been no change;  Transitions affect the whole slide, Builds and Actions affect objects on a slide.
    If you try what I mentioned above there has been a change. Thanks for offering advice, but doing a little research in the future before replying to issues will help with providing more accurate information.

  • Question about setting track level

    Hi I finally got my new macbook pro and moto 8 pre and have just today tried a bit of recording just to get used to it. I am at the moment using garage band. I have a question about track levels. In Garage Band when I select a track to record there is a slider for input level or an option of clicking the automatic level control. But for some reason they are both just that color of grey you get when something can not be selected on a computer. How do I activate this? It's strange as I did actually manage to record the track, I just can't seem to really adjust the level. I thought maybe it has to do with the motu and I can only select the track level there, and that garage band level setting are (rightfully) disabled? Maybe that's what I should be doing, but just a bit confused. Anyway, thanks in advance for whoever takes the time to help out a newbie.

    Ah, ok. Good to know. Thanks for the info.

  • Question about image slideshow (like mac file preview)

    Hello!Ι have a question about Adobe Edge.is it possible to create a photo slide show like mac's file preview? i mean smthg like this  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q727LqDIZKM

    Hi, TasisGrafix2-
    Edge Animate doesn't support css3d natively, but you can use a third party library such as edgehero.js to make this work.

  • 2 question about GPU and Lens correction ,cs5

    Hi
    i have 2 questions about Gpu and lens correction in Cs5
    1)Filter->lens correction->search online
    i get often and almost every connection time out at the first click on search online , at the second click i get no online profile
    is it normal?
    2) question is about Gpu
    it run faster , but talking about ajustament layer
    like saturation or vibrance for example
    i found with the gpu on , a light slow refresh compared with gpu off
    i have set cache  levels 6 ,history 20
    i guess are the defaul
    well i add a saturation layer and move the saturation slide ,increase o decrease saturation
    with Gpu Off , the changes are immedially , i mean i can see in real time the increase o decrease of saturation
    with Gpu On it takes a few(very few) time more
    again is normal ?
    don't be angry , i'm going to buy cs5 and i'm unsecure ... the price make a big role
    thanks

    For what it's worth, I also see a timeout on the first [ Search Online ] click, after about half a minute delay.  Second click turns up results immediately.  This happens each time Lens Correction is started, even without restarting Photoshop, and in both 32 and 64 bit versions.  Also note that I started with one profile listed by default (though from the wrong camera) for my 40D with 28-135 zoom.
    I alsow noticed that I was seeing progress bar activity in the Lens Correction dialog while I was typing this (even though Lens Correction was NOT the active window) every time I hit the 'L' key.  Strange.

  • Question about printing by page count

    Hi
    I'm new to this and I have a question about printing our invoices by page count.
    We generate our invoice using Crystal 2008 we have invoices that can range from a single page to as many as 6 pages. I would like Crystal to preview/print the reports in order of how many pages are in the report. Example: print all single page invoices first then all invoices that are 2 pages and so on. Is this possible?
    Thank you in advance

    Hi Ido,
    Thanks for your input. This is more or less what Carl was suggesting yesterday and I gave it a lot of thinking. The problem here is that I cannot go with "good enough resolution" - I need perfect resolution.
    The reason for this apparently silly requirement (why would one sort a bunch of invoices by number of pages instead of Customer Number, as long as they end up in an envelope anyway?) is the proposed purchase of a folding/stuffing machine which could do very fast what now takes one person 4 days to achieve.
    One type of machine comes with three settings - fold/stuff 1, 2 or 3-page statements. You need to have three stacks with all the statements that have 1, 2 and 3 pages. The ones with more pages will have to be folded manually, but there are only about two dozen clients that give us that much business. You feed the machine one stack at a time and set it to process the respective number of pages. Any statement that falls accidentally in the other stack will either cause the whole rest of the stack to be mixed up, which is very bad, or cause one customer to receive his invoice and someone else's, which is just embarrassing. I cannot afford any of these scenarios.
    Given that the statement contains variable-length (and depth) messages that vary by month and by profit center, and it could also contain one or more groups of details, each with its own header, it is very risky to try to come up with magic numbers attempting to estimate the number of pages based on the number of detail lines. Someone will still have to eyeball very carefully the initial stack of statements in the areas where the number of pages increases by one and make sure that ordering by number of detail lines did not mix, for example, one report with two pages among two reports with one page. Of course, this increased scrutiny will be necessary only around the areas where the page number transitions from 1->2, 2->3 and 3->4, which is much better than trying to order by number of pages all 1500 statements, but still depends on one's manual intervention and focus and, as a result, makes me pretty uncomfortable.
    I have taken a look at the "Group Sort Expert". If you select the "All" option (all groups) and you had some kind of summary value then you could sort the report by that value. The idea was to create a hidden Average field over the TotalPageCount runtime variable (which will always equal the TotalPageCount for that customer, since it's the same for all the pages in that group) and use that summary field in the "Group Sort Expert", which would have solved the problem elegantly. Unfortunately, there is no way to create a summary field over a runtime variable. I even created a formula that just returns the TotalPageCount, but that formula did not show up in the list of fields available for summarization (while other formulas did).
    It looks like the reporting engine does not allow this type of "late-sorting". I wonder if it is possible at all, because in effect this would require the engine to execute an additional pass: first it should somehow generate the whole report grouped by Customer Number so it knows how many pages are in each group, then it should sort by the number of pages and only after that it could render the report. I'm not sure the engine can do this additional pass.
    I would be very curious to hear about the other (more complex) ideas you mentioned. For example, I have seen (in Crystal 2008) a checkbox allowing "sorting by a formula". I don't know how to write a formula used in sorting, but the basic question in the paragraph above still stands: does the engine even support such a feature?
    Thanks again.

  • Varying the Slide Transition Time Interval in Slide Show with Music

    I have this old iPhoto 4.0.3 version in my PowerBook. Is it possible to create a slide show that's put to music? More importantly, can the transition from slide to slide be varied (e.g., one slide changes after 4 seconds; the next slide changes after 10 seconds; the slide after changes after 6 seconds, etc.) or am I limited to one consistent slide transition interval? Do I need to upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto? Or do I need to use an entirely different application to do varying slide transition time intervals?
    Thank you.
    Michael

    No, you can't vary the time interval in the same slide show.
    There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD, but they all have one thing in common: they reduce the quality of the photos to that of a movie still frame and sometimes limit the number of photos you can use.
    If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
    Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
    http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
    (Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
    Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
    Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie 6 as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
    You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!

  • Question about keynote efficiency

    I have a question about the efficiency of a keynote presentation...let me explain...
    I am creating a slide in which I want the entire contents of the slide, 10 objects (a pdf image, 8 shapes, and a text box), to fade out. Following the fade out, I want a text box to appear with a brief instruction.  Following a click, the text box with the brief instruction will fade out and the original 10 objects will fade back in.  I see several options available to accomplish the effect:
    Option 1
    I could create fade out actions for the original 10 objects, have the "brief instruction" text box fade in and hold. Then, after a click, the "brief instruction" text box would fade out and the original 10 objects would fade back in.  The important note here is that all these objects would be on the same slide
    Option 2
    I could create fade out actions for the orginal 10 objects and then move to a new slide.  On the new slide would be the "brief instruction" text box, which would fade in after a short delay.  Then, after a click, the "brief instruction" text box would fade away followed by another new slide which would have copies of the original 10 objects from the first slide.  These 10 objects would then automatically fade back in after a short delay.
    TL;DR: Option 1 has many objects and effects all on one slide, option 2 splits some of the objects and effects onto three different slides.
    My question: Is one of these options more efficient than the other? I imagine in a short presentation it probably doesn't matter, but what about a presentation that starts to get pretty large, say 20 slides or more? Splitting everything up onto three different slides definitely helps me from an organization and planning standpoint.

    Multiple slides.
    Slides are free, all you are doing is duplicating the 10-objects slide and inserting the instruction slide in between. Keynote is like any other slideware - keep the complexity to a minimum.
    Given the weakness of the nomenclature on the animations timing box in Keynote, using the multiple slide method means you can effect any changes very simply and not worry about scanning up and down a endless list of animation items.
    K.I.S.S.
    I hope that helps
