Transitions - fades in playmemories home

How do you create a simple fade transition with the playmemories home software?
Even a most basic video editor should have this option surely?
Thanks

Hi colonel-uk,
Welcome to the Sony Community!
As of now, there is no option to edit transition between movies or images in Playmemories Home. But we do appreciate you giving us your thoughts on this, and we'll forward this suggestion to the right department for future software development.

Cp4: slide shows another slide during transition 'fade'

I'm using Captivate 4, and have created a project with 22 slides. Each slide has a background consisting of a screenshot of an application. No imagelayers on top of that, except for highlights and textboxes. Also, each slide contains audio and a few slides contain Flash video.
Problem: when using the transition option 'fade' from slide 4 to slide 5 (slide 5 - transition 'fade'), another slide shines through some of the white space. The slide that shines through could be three different slides, which all contain the same image.
In other words: when transitioning from slide 4 to 5, slide X (could be three identical slides) shines through the white parts for half a second.
I have tried:
- Creating a new slide within current project, with a new background and copying the highlights etc (same problem)
- Copying all slides to a new project (same problem)
- Adding blank slides before and after the slide that shines through (still slide X shines through)
- Checking for transparency (none)
- Inserting the background as a new png and merging it into the background (same problem)
- Inserting the background as a new png and showing it to the end of the slide wthout fades (same problem)
- Removing the transition altogether (works, but I need the transition!)
I have run out of options. Can anyone help me?

Hi,
Lets get this clear...
When you set Transition -- it set how the slide will appear ( basically fade-in in your case )
So your 5th slide must have Transition-Fade. Slide background will too fade in for 5th slide.
If you want that your screenshot isnt visible while slide transition you can add them as image-items and make them appear after fade completes.

Playmemories home and online software support

I have talked for 2hours today. with many phone numbers 800-222-7669...877-971-7669...855-999-7669 of which absolutly no one could help. I need a real software support tech not gonna play phone merry go round anymore.
I have playmemories home and playmemories online, of which the software is one in the same. The play memories home has a tab on the tool bar called paly memories online, drop down menu playmemores online settings,, ALL SYNC function is checked, however none of my data is being uploaded to the cloud when I was under the impression that it was. I only found out by downloading my ps4 app for playmemories online and found no pictures on the cloud. I have 10g easy. The software states per batum "turn on all sync to automatically upload photos from your computer" I am signed in to my account. I hope one of you have the knowledge to get me to the correct person that can actually be contacted or that can contact me so I can get this resolved. The support on the phone was horrable today. I have a ref. # that you can query if you would like though I do not think it will further the progression of solving this issue. bottom line, I need someone who knows what there doing in this area. ref # e60877743

How does one change the date format for PlayMemories Home folders?

I am using PlayMemories Home Version 2.0.00.11271 and have many folders within it which contain only photographs imported from my Sony DSC-H9. Unfortunately, PlayMemories Home insists upon dating all folders in a month/day/year manner; and this makes little sense if one wishes to have the folders listed in logical chronological order. How can I change the date format to year/month/day? Changing the name of each folder, one by one, will take a very long time! Your helpful advice in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. System information:
Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Service pack : Service Pack 3
Memory: 1.5 GB
Processor:         Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.86GHz
Max. clock speed: 1.86
Manufacturer: IBM
Model: 1847W76
System language setting: English (United States)
User language setting: English (United States)

I too thought that the folder naming format was obviously wrong and couldn't find a way to change it. I do agree that placing photos in folders according to when they were taken is a great idea. I had been considering writing some software to do just that. After discovering that PlayMemories does it, I had it re-import all my photos. Then I wrote a small Perl script to rename all of the folders into year-month-day format. Included here is the Perl script. It only acts on a single folder - use it on the root folder where all the PlayMemories folders are. It will rename all folders currently in a month-day-year format. I used it without problems but of course there is no guarentee that it is error free. This should work with any common version of Perl. Tom # There should be one command line argument: the directory to act upon
if ( scalar(@ARGV) == 0 ){
print "Usage: RenameDirs <dir>\n";
print " Where dir is the directory containing the directories to rename.\n";
exit;
$mydir = $ARGV[0];
chdir $mydir or die "Couldn't chdir to $mydir: $!";
opendir(ROOTPHOTODIR, ".") or die "Failed to open the pictures directory $mydir: $!";
@allphotodirs = readdir ROOTPHOTODIR;
closedir ROOTPHOTODIR;
foreach $dir (@allphotodirs) {
if ( -d $dir ) {
  print "$dir is a directory";
  if ( $dir =~ /^(\d{1,2})-(\d{1,2})-(\d{4})$/ ) {
   print " and has the proper format: month $1 day $2 year $3 and will be renamed to ";
   $newname = sprintf "%4u-%02u-%02u", $3, $1, $2;
   print "$newname\n";
   rename $dir, $newname or die "failed to rename $dir to $newname: $!";
  else {
   print " but is not of the proper format\n"
elsif ( -f $dir ) {
  print "$dir is a file\n";
else {
  print "$dir is neither a directory nor a file\n";
}

PlayMemories Home 'Hide Media Files' feature

Will PlayMemories Home ever have the 'Hide Media Files' feature it had in earlier versions?

Good day cachito70,
We cannot speculate if future versions of Playmemories Home (PMH) will have the [Hide Media File] feature. This feedback gives us an idea on how to improve the software, you can also share this at our Join the Inspiration page which is frequently visited by our experts and engineers.

Transition fade effect does not show at beginning

I'm using TabNavigator and added fade transition between the
tabs.
I can not see the transition effect on the first tab of
TabNavigator when page shows up at very first time.
The transition effect does show up when I change tabs from
one to other. I understand that when accessing
the page at very first time, there is no transition. But I
still want to see the fade effect on the pictures.
Is there a way to make the fade effect showing when the page
is displayed at very first time?

You could do that as well, but if have your component's
visibility=false in mxml, you'll have to change it to true every
time you want to actually see/edit it using the FB design mode. So
unless you never use that, it makes sense to just do what Amy
mentioned before or a variation. You could probably also set the
visibility to false, and then immediately set it to true in a
creationComplete event handler, but that's just getting
silly.

Animated gifs: How to transition (fade) 1 image over another

Fireworks noob, trying to make an animated gif in CS4, reading/experimenting for hours, searching FW help documentation, Youtube tutes, Google - can't find how to pull off this basic fade.
6 unique but same sz. jpgs in my .png (default FW worksheet doc), each a different "state" in the states palette. Got the basic timing down, all 6 pop up one after another, but I want transitions - #1 fades into #2, 2 into 3 etc. - possibly 3-4 step fade.
How?
Where are the other transitions/effects hidden?
Doesn't FW have some kind of animation timeline feature where you can click through frame by frame?
Ready to go back to Gifbuilder...
TIA!

Gif animations are for poster-like images. They don't work successfully with JPEGs because the file size ends up enormously large. The best program to use for whast you want to do is Flash. That said, Fireworks has an animation wizard that will fade images for you. Select an image and choose Modify > Symbol > Convert to Symbol. A dialog box will pop up enabling you to choose which type of symbol you wish to create. Choose Animation. From there, just follow the wizard. To fade one image over the other, you'll need to convert the images to symbols and animate them on different states (frames). Symbol 1 on state 1. Symbol 2 on state 10. Symbol 3 on state 20, for example.

Can slide transitions fade in and out?

I have a slide show set with fade in transitions, and I want
the slides to fade out when the next slide fades in. Can someone
please tell me how to do this??
Thanks.

I'm sure there is probably some actionscript that can do
this, however I am unaware of it.
What you can do is:
1. Make sure each slide is converted to a movie clip
2. Create two keyframes for each slide
3. Create a motion tween between the two keyframes
4. Change the alpha on the second keyframe to 0% (this
creates your fade out)
To fade in, just change the alpha to 0% on the first keyframe
instead. Then you can move the tweens on the timeline to either
crossfade, or fade in fade out. Hope this helps.

Transition fade outs are picking up audio

Whenever I want to add a fade out to a movie clip, rather than the audio fading out with the picture, the audio for the duration of the transition is often a clip of the audio from that particular movie clip. I have tried trashing the p-list, and I have also tried erasing some of the problem footage and re-capturing it, but to no avail. This happens to at least I'd say 75% of my movie clips, and I can't seem to solve it. Sometimes the audio in the transition is audio from the very end of the clip I am fading out of (i.e. it loops it), and sometimes it's just from a random point somewhere in that particular clip, but then on a couple of occasions, the fade out is actually audio from a totally different clip.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in anticipation....

Hi C
Just one thought: I do like this
• select clip or clips before applying a transition so that they are selected
• Up on Advance Menu - down to Extract audio
• Now apply the transition after or between the clips
• Now fix the audio by letting it fade out or as You like it
Yours Bengt W

Page Transitions - Fade In

To make a page in FrontPage fade in, it's three simple
steps....Insert, then Page Transition, then pick the type you want.
Call it wishful thinking, but is it as simple in Dreamweaver?
If not....how is this accomplished?
Thanks guys!

IconItemRenderer iconDisplay Transition Fade - mobile

How to make the transition iconDisplay mobile IconItemRender class?
Previously, I did this:
<s:transitions>
        <s:Transition fromState="_edit" toState="_normal" >
            <s:Fade targets="{myIconDisplay}"/>
        </s:Transition>
        <s:Transition fromState="_normal" toState="_edit" >
            <s:Fade targets="{myIconDisplay}"/>
        </s:Transition>
    </s:transitions>
Unfortunately, it is not bindable standard iconDisplay so I can not use it.
Such transitions are not working in AIR:
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var myTM:TransitionManager = new TransitionManager(my_mc);
myTM.startTransition({type:Fade, direction:Transition.OUT, duration:3, easing:Strong.easeOut});
Is it better to create everything in AS3, or I can still use mxml? How to create a an efficient list of transitions?
Please help.

I solved the problem. IconDisplay should be placed in a container, such as Group. Then can be controlled effects, such as Fade, Rotate, Resize.
Example my itemRender:
override protected function createChildren():void
     super.createChildren();
     iconContainer = new Group();
     hideFade = new Fade();
     hideFade.alphaFrom = 1.0;
     hideFade.alphaTo = 0.0;
     hideFade.duration = 250;
     hideFade.target = iconContainer;
     addChild(iconContainer);
override protected function createIconDisplay():void
     super.createIconDisplay();
     iconDisplay.smooth = true;
     iconContainer.addElement(iconDisplay);
     iconDisplay.parentChanged(null);
override protected function commitProperties():void
     if(data.editMode == "true")
          hideFade.play();

PlayMemories Home Version 3.1 Shutsdown

Version 3.1 shuts itself down continuously. Version 3.0 worked fine. No changes to operating system or hardware. HP computer running Windows 7

I posted on this forum expecting someone in the community or Sony to give me some help. None has been forth coming. What I did to solve my problem was to uninstall Ver 3.1 and installed the previous version that worked,
3.02.1.11211. Everything works fine now, except whenever I shut Playmemories down, I keep getting a note asking me if I want to upgrade. I just ignore it. I hope that Sony will eventually review and fix this issue.
