Re: Kaleidoscope Slide Style
Thanks Peter - got it!
I've amended the style at this end... and sure enough, I can now change the speed of all the segments by just changing the values for the controlling pair

Re: Kaleidoscope Slide Style
As an aside (and additional info), here's a little tidbit that some (most?) don't know. In the past, if you had layer C reference the pan-x of layer B that was referencing the pan-x of layer A, you got no movement at all in layer C (because layer B had no independent movement).
That's not the case any more (I'm not sure when the "fix" occurred but it is working in release 4.1.2737). Here's a situation, Layer A is panning across the screen. You want layer B to pan across the screen exactly how layer A is panning. So, you use a modifier in layer B to reference the pan of Layer A. But now you want the layer B pan to be offset just a little bit from layer C so you add a little constant to either the layer B modifier or the layer B pan box (x and/or y) itself. Now, Layer C needs to follow layer B exactly. So, now you add a pan modifier to layer C to follow the pan of layer B. You don't need to make any other adjustments.
In the past (earlier 4.0 and 4.1 releases), layer B and layer C would each have had to reference the Layer A pan directly. Then, any needed offsets would have had to be added to both layers B and layers C.
So, This means that although Layer C requires the settings on Layer A, with some modifications/adjustments, it can rely entirely on getting its settings from Layer B (which references those Layer A settings via modifiers).
Neat, huh?

Re: Kaleidoscope Slide Style
I've really got to stop thinking about PSP when I sit in the sun - apart from anything else I lose "sun time" !
But yet another thought which I've raced in to try (and it works!) :
We only need ONE controlling layer - we simply use a "Multiplied by" of -1 where required
And Iris - don't feel you have to race out and change our style yet again!

Re: Kaleidoscope Slide Style
Hi Peter
That's good to know - I'll have a look at that later... this thread has certainly renewed my interest in modifiers! Sadly though, within a week, all this info will have leaked right out of my sieve-brain...
Dale! It's never easy to read about modifiers... but I'm so glad to learn how much they've improved

Re: Kaleidoscope Slide Style
Hi there - new on these boards so please be gentle
Does the Kaleidoscope style only work in Producer? (oops - just spotted that it's actually in the PSP Tips and Tricks Forum).... but I'll leave my message to see how this all works
I'm running Gold, 4.00.2549
Already learned all sorts of great tricks from the forums - thanks to all contributors.

Hey Tom,
Firstly, would you mind if I called you a "scouse git"? Yes? Okay, other than that, you don't have to worry about this board. People here are normal people who understand that we were all once in the same boat and we will NOT ridicule you for asking questions! Welcome

Re: Kaleidoscope Slide Style
Welcome, Tom! We all ask dumb questions no matter how experienced we are. We also hand out some pretty stupid answers.
Mac, what the devil is a "scouse git"? And don't you dare tell me it's a dumb question.

Re: Kaleidoscope Slide Style
A scouse is a person from Liverpool and on the British show Till Death Us Do Part, Alf is always calling his scouse son-in-law a scouse git. That show was the inspiration for All In The Family.

Re: Kaleidoscope Slide Style
For Barbara
"Randy Scouse Git"
A "Scouser" comes from the city of Liverpool
"T'll Death Do Us Part" is a very English comedy show set in a low to middle class home.
"Randy Scouse Git"
Roughly, "horny jerk from Liverpool." It was a derisive term used by the protagonist of the 60's British TV show "Till Death Do Us Part" toward his son-in-law.

Re: Kaleidoscope Slide Style
Ever wonder if the Brits and the Yanks really speak the same language at all? There's a show, "Lie to Me," where the main character is from somewhere in England, and I very often don't understand more than half of what he says. I sometimes have the same problem with people who have my own accent.

Re: Kaleidoscope Slide Style
Scouse Git is perfectly acceptable.... can be used as a derogatory term (ie Alf Garnett to his son in law), or as a term of (almost) endearment amongst friends.
Trivia - did you know that the original Scouse Git (Anthony Booth) from "Til death do us part" was in fact the father (in real life) of Cherie Blair, the former Prime Minister of Britain's wife.... you probably did, but others might not...
Thanks for the welcome everyone
Cheers
Tom

Re: Kaleidoscope Slide Style
You're right, I was aware of Booth's daughter and I forgive him . Given his politics though, I'm sure he's very proud! It's funny you came around at this time because I'm reading a book about the show as well as visiting some websites about Liverpool.

Re: Kaleidoscope Slide Style
Welcome aboard Tom. As a relative newcomer myself I can tell you that this Forum is THE place to be if you're keen on furthering your abilities with ProShow. To hark back to your original query, sadly I did not err in placing the style here in the PSP section - it requires masking which is not available in PSG. But as a former PSG user, I can say it's remarkable what can be achieved with PSG.
