VisiSketchPro Released
Tue Jan 15, 2008 11:10 am
A number of you have asked me to inform you when VisiSketchPro would be available. Well, I've finally reached that point. You can find many example shows (both YouTube for instant access and Photodex Sharing for higher resolution) as well as a fully functional trial download at:

Dave that looks fabulous and you can certainly not go wrong with the price. I have a wicked cold right now, but I am off for the next 5 days and hopefully will get on the computer at home and purchase. I love the blackboard chalk/eraser effect. My little brain is already thinking of things to do with that. Excellent job you are so talented!!! Hugs Jan

Thanks, Jan. I've tried to make VisiSketchPro as feature full and friendly as I could. There are both written and video tutorials of how to get started. A few animations and you won't really need to refer to them much anymore. I'm also preparing a web page for pre-built VisiSketchPro projects - sort of a templates page - of thematic topics of general interest, i.e. birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, etc. These would be useful in opening or closing a show.
Hope you're feeling better soon.

Dave- Downloaded your program I'm impressed. Nice job. Do have a few minor suggestions. Where do I send them?

I donloaded the Visisketch Pro and it worked great and generated and avi file but the avi will NOT load into Producer (not a valid file) or into my nearly commercial Canopus video editor. The home page has a FAQ link but nothing is there. Sent a "problem report" email but no answer. I'd love to pay but but not if the avi is not usable. It DOES open with Real Player when you double click the avi file. Basically works great though after you read the help files included and the video helps are great

Ed, I haven't tried the Pro version yet, but I had used the Lite version that was made available some time ago. As I recall, I had to load the resulting AVI file into Windows Movie Maker and save it as a .WMV to load into Proshow. If I remember correctly, the resulting .AVI from Visisketch Lite was uncompressed or something and it was quite large in size and converting to .WMV solved the problem for me to get it into Proshow. I don't know if the Pro version can save output to other formats or not, but if not, you might try what I did.
Also, in Proshow, if you wanted to play movie and then 'transition' to the original image the sketch/movie was based on, you had to initially resize your image to 640x480 and make the sketch based off of this 640x480 image so the movie and image would match in size allowing you to do a smooth transition. I don't know if the Pro version has changed or not on this size, but I thought I'd mention it as I thought it was pretty cool to do this effect.
