photo size
hi guys,and nice template...but what size do the photos have to be...in the column on the left i reduced them to 800x600,but they dont seem to fit into the template they over hang...and look messy...also when they enlarge they dont fit that template either like in the box it should be sat in...any help please...
The pictures can be any size you want. However, the template is setup for HD (16:9) not SD (4:3). That might be part of the problem. The template puts all of the images at "Fit to Safe Zone."
Also, not all photos are the same size (pixel height and width) ... so, you may have to tweak the template (x and/or y) for the size of the photos you use. This is particularly true if you use images from multiple cameras and the cameras don't shoot the images at the same dimensions. Of course, then you can fix that by cropping the images, if you want to go that route, to a "standard" dimension (height and width) of your choosing.
If you use standard definition (regular TV, 4:3), you may have a bit more work to do to fit your images correctly for your show.

Dale I am trying your column template and am having a problem. The last slide shows up as a bland on the first screen and after they move to the left it is still blank. The correct image comes up as it should during the show. Any suggestions? I have been putting the slides in one at a time as they are scattered around a file folder.
Thanks
Jim

Jim,
Not sure what you mean when you say "...as a bland" ...
After you've loaded all 7 of your images in the 14 image layers you're not getting a visual unless you actually play the slides?
Yep, putting the slides in one at a time is the way to go as you really don't have the much control by drag and drop. I haven't found that technique to work reliably enough for me. But, that shouldn't have any bearing on whether you see the images on the layers without playing them.
Layers 1 thru 7 are the images that will end up as a large image. They should start life with 0% opacity.
Layers 8 thru 14 are the images that lie on the "bar" at left at 50% opacity (or so). Layers 1 and 8 should be the same, layers 2 and 9 are the same, etc.
All other layers are not image layers and are layers numbered greater than 14. The background layer should be the very bottom layer.
Well, I don't know if this helped or not but, let me know if there's something else I can help with. Oh, the slide is designed with 16:9 (HD) in mind ... not 4:3 (if that has any bearing for you). If you're using 4:3 in your slideshow (standard resolution), you'll need to adjust where everything starts and finishes so that it plays within the limits of you screen!

Excellent show Dale !! - I love your 7->1 template also - I was going to
suggest that you put your name and info in the template "info", but I see
it is there (and sort of answers my question that I was going to check on
how many lines of stuff you could put in there too )

You can't have too many gadgets or too much disk space !!

Here is sample of the show I am trying to use the template in. As you can see the last slide has problems.
Any suggestions?

Hi Jim, I got the template to work perfectly. I just inserted the pics for layers 1 - 7, and then the same pics again for layers 8-14. Seemed to work just fine.

Hi,
My name is Sheldon. I am kind of new around here. Been playing with this software for over a year already!
I went through all the layers to figure out how this works. Wow I get it! This template shows me that all you have to do is use your imagination, a few masks and a few gradients.
This template was as good a tutorial as any of the ones I have seen!
Thanks so much!!!!!!

Thanx Quetzal and Ann!
The template is the precursor to the View Column Image Pro style. The limitations of the template are obvious once you start using images of different sizes. But, if all images are effectively the same size, it's simple!
The darned thing was causing me a bit of work sometimes as I use images from several different cameras oft-times. Putting in the masks saved lots of time and effort, in the long run.
It's a great tool, the template is, for trying to learn various aspects of the program without having to rely on a photo editor. In particular, keyframing and, to a lesser extent, masking. The color bar indicator was kinda novel at the time too ... seems almost like magic at first ... and then you see how it was done (no more magic!)
Glad it's of help!
