Slideshow help needed

I want to load an initial image into onTop_mc,. When the user
clicks
next, load another image into onBottom_mc (below onTop_mc),
then using
MovieClip.setMask() create a transition from the first image
to the
second image. No problem, but for the third, forth,and so on,
I need to
do some swapping. Should I :
1- load img1 into onTop_mc
2- load img2 into onBottom_mc
3- perform transition using MovieClip.setMask()
4- unload img1 from onTop_mc
5- reload img2 into onTop_mc
6- repeat as needed
or is there another way? (will this even work?) I'm assuming
that since
each image is already in the user's cache step 5 will be
significantly
faster than steps 1 or 2.
Thanks,
Bill

FCP is an option, even iMovie can do that. But personally, as it is "only" a slideshow, I would import all of them into iPhoto and create a slide show with one click and set the music background transistions as well. All done in an eye blink.

  • No Sound SlideShows Help Needed!!!!!!!

    Hello Everyone:  I cannot get my previously made Slideshows to play with sound in PC's that only have Adobe Reader.   The SlideShows will play with sound on PC's that have Adobe Standard or Professional installed.  My friend also has the same problem.  These sideshows were created with PSE 6,7, and 8, and the old PSA 3.  Does anyone have any suggestions on what is causing this problem and how to fix it????
    Thanks any help will be deeply appreciated.

    I assume you mean PDF slideshows. They open on my PC with Adobe Reader but with a user requirement to allow blocked content.
    If I click on the windows strip and authorize the file, I get to hear the sound.
    The only other option is to upload pdf's or embed them in web pages so they open instantly in a browser.
      

  • Elements 8 Slideshow Help Needed

    Hello, I have Elements 8 and while creating a slideshow my pictures dissapear or something else happens because when I preview it, all I get is a black screen.
    I've tried smaller pictures, adding sound, saving then previewing, even when I export or share the saved result is nothing but a black screen, no pictures. I hear the music I added, but no pictures. Even if I add a blank slide and add text, nothing. I'm stumped and frustrated. I followed the online video tutorial exactly and still no luck. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. I've had the software for about a year and a half and never used the slideshow part until now.
    Hoping somebody may have come across this issue before,
    Computer info if it will help.
    vista 64 bit sp2, but running adobe in 32 bit
    Nvidia gtx580 graphics card
    12 gig ram
    Intel i7 920
    Thanks!

    First suggestion --
    I have experienced this type of issue with the black screen in preview and it was caused by lack of authorization.  I was running under Vista and I circumvented the problem by starting PSE using Run as Administrator
    -- in other words instead of left clicking on the PSE icon on the desktop,
    -- I right clicked on the PSE desktop icon and chose " Run as administrator" from the right click menu
    The above process was necessary despite the fact that my Windows userid did have administrator authority.
    There is a theory among several people that this can be caused by uninstalling an earlier version of PSE after you installed PSE 8. However, I doubt that is absolutely the only reason.
    Second suggestion--
    If my first suggestion does not solve your problem, then I think the second most probable cause is some problem or inconsistency with the driver for your video card. Your Nvidia gtx580 is a powerful video card -- so perhaps there is some inconsistency with another component on your system. How recently have you updated the driver for your video card ?
    -- Have you ever been able to do a PSE slide show preview ?
    -- Have ever been able to play back an WMV file output from the slide show?
    FYI -
    If this is one of your first alide shows with PSE, I suggest that you also post how you plan to display your finished slide show -- for example - will you burn it to a DVD disc ? Do you also have Premiere Elements ?

  • How do I create my own favorite template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to templates, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get

    First, how do I create my own favorite theme template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to already existing themes, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get. I just want to use a picture as my DVD cover, and then insert a slideshow. Also, when I try to burn my 8.5gb double sided slideshow, all that burns is the music. It is a large slideshow, a memorial on the life of my now deceased brother. This means a lot to me and to my family, and I am having so much trouble trying to burn it. I have gone into Project View and selected appropriately. The bar shows I have room to burn this DVD, but it does not burn.  I have burned so many DVDs in the past, but this one just will not burn. I am so confused at this point. I will say this is the first 8.5gb I have attempted to create and burn. My specs list a 7.7gb or 4.7gb as operable....but there are no 7.7gb dvds. I had to purchase 8.5gb. Help? What am I doing wrong? I have spent so much time on this, and just cannot figure it out.

    Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor.  The pro version of iMovie.
    Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow.  It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them.  You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
    When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
    Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
    Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version).  Personal preferences showing here.

    ---------I actually designed the ABOVE table also like this
    3) a)COMBINATION

    8               384          3
    Business rule: a combination consists of a maximum of 4 subjects (must contain)
    and the user is less relevant to a COMB_NAME(name of combinations) but user need
    the subjects contained in combinations
    i need the following output
    COMB_ID COMB_NAME SUBJECT1 SUBJECT2      SUBJECT3      SUBJECT4
    383     S1     Biology Chemistry      Computer Science Physics
    384     S2     Chemistry Computer Science Mathematics Physics
    or even this is enough(what i actually needed)
    COMB_ID     subjects
    383           Biology,Chemistry,Computer Science,Physics
    384           Chemistry,Computer Science,Mathematics,Physics
    you can use any of the COMBINATION table(either (2) or (3))
    and i want to know
    1)which design is good in this case
    (i think SUB_ID1,SUB_ID2,SUB_ID3,SUB_ID4 is not a
    good method to link with same table but if 4 subjects only(and must) comes
    detail table is not neccessary )
    now i am achieving the result by program-coding in C# after getting the rows from oracle
    i am using oracle 9i (also ODP.NET)
    i want to know how can i get the result in the stored procedure itsef.
    2)how it could be designed in any other way.
    any help/suggestion is welcome
    thanks for your time --Pradeesh

    Well I forgot the table-alias, here now with:
    SELECT C.COMB_ID
    , C.COMB_NAME
    , (SELECT SUB_NAME
    FROM SUBJECTS
    WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID1) AS SUBJECT_NAME1
    , (SELECT SUB_NAME
    FROM SUBJECTS
    WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID2) AS SUBJECT_NAME2
    , (SELECT SUB_NAME
    FROM SUBJECTS
    WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID3) AS SUBJECT_NAME3
    , (SELECT SUB_NAME
    FROM SUBJECTS
    WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID4) AS SUBJECT_NAME4
    FROM COMBINATION C;
    As you need exactly 4 subjects, the columns-solution is just fine I would say.

  • Help needed I have a canon 40D. I am thinking of buying a canon 6D.But not sure that my len

    Hi all help needed I have a canon 40D. I am thinking of buying a canon 6D.
    But not sure that my lenses will work.
    I have a 170mm/ 500mm APO Sigma.
    A 10/20 ex  Sigma   HSM  IF.
    And a 180 APO Sigma Macro or do I have to scrap them and buy others.
    ALL Help will be greatly received. Yours  BRODIE

    In short, I love it. I was going to buy the 5DMark III. After playing with it for a while at my local Fry's store where they put 5DMII, 5DMIII and 6D next to each other, using the same 24-105L lens, I decided to get the 6D and pocket the different for lens later.
    I'm upgrading from the 30D. So I think you'll love it. It's a great camera. I have used 5DMII extensively before (borrowing from a close friend).
    Funny thing is at first I don't really care about the GPS and Wifi much. I thought they're just marketing-gimmick. But once you have it, it is actually really fun and helpful. For example, I can place the 6D on a long "monopod", then use the app on the phone to control the camera to get some unique perspective on some scenes. It's fun and great. GPS is also nice for travel guy like me.

  • Help needed! Raid degraded again!

    Hi!
    Help needed! I hava made bootable RAID with two S-ATAII 250Gb HDD and its not working! Every now and then at bootup I get a message RAID -> DEGRADED... Must be seventh time! Rebuild takes its own time!
    What am I doing wrong!
    T: Ekku
    K8N Neo4 Ultra
    AMD 64 4200+
    2 Gb RAM
    2 x 250 Gb HDD (Maxtor)
    nVidia RAID (in mb)
    P.S. I wery SORRY with my poor language!

    I'm going to blame the nVRAID because I've seen issues with it in the past. If your motherboard has another non-nVidia RAID solution, use that instead. Using the nVidia SATA ports as BASE or JBOD is fine and dandy but RAIDing always had issues. It's not even a driver issue I think it's just instability. Latest drivers and even boxed drivers never helped. Granted, some will report success with their rig. But on a professional level I've seen nForce issues on different motherboards and different hard drives that had RAID disaster stories.
    Good luck and if you don't have another RAID solution, my suggestion would be to buy a dedicated RAID controller card.

    Have you tryed Google ? really.. your question is inrelevant. No need to reply indeed.
    Why do you come here asking this question anyway ? is it becouse you have a MSI gfx card ? and the adapter has nothing to do with this ?
    You think you can come in here yelling.. thinking we have to put up with it and accept your style of posting. This is not a MSI tech center.. it's a user to user center.. Your question has nothing to do with MSI relavant things anyway's.

  • Help needed on installation of Oracle 9i on Sun Solaris 8

    Hey,
    Help needed on installation of Oracle 9i EE on Sun Solaris 8. The problem I met was: we followed the installation guide from the documentation. And we selected the choice "install software only". After it was done successfully, we run Database Configuration Assistant utility to create a database instance. But finally it always tried to create the instance at the root directory ( / ) which doesn't have enough space and then failed. The case was that we have set the enviroment parameters: $ORACLE_BASE = /export/mydata, $ORACLE_HOME = /export/apps/oracle9i. That means it should be installed at /export/mydata, but it didn't. Any help or advice are welcome. Thanks.
    Simon

    I have downloaded Oracle 11G R2 version from Windows and extracted it in Windows and copied it into DVD after extraction in two folders. Now I am mounting that DVD in Solaris 10 installed in my VMware . I made a new directory named as 'installation ' under /export/home/oracle and copied the folders from DVD to 'installation' folder. Now I am entering installation folder and try to do ./runInstaller as 'oracle ' user and getting the error mentioned before.

  • Help needed in constructing a tree

    Help needed in constructing a tree. I was wondering if some one can suggest me how to add messages in the second column for both the parent node and child elements.
    I was able to create a tree succefully, but want to add some description in the second column for the first column elements, for both parent and child elements.

    hope this helps,
