Hi Barbara, and Al

Thank you both very much indeed.

Lavina


And -
To anyone who may still be in doubt! - Indeed P. Gold does not have layers.

Lavina,

Enjoyed your show. Music fit nicely as well as the motion. I do have a question for you. I have always lilked the "jumpiing out of the frame" Is that done with multiple layers in PS with the subject cropped out of the bottom layer?

Thanks,

Scott

Hi Scott

Thank you for viewing and making comment.

Re: your question - 'Doing it my way' there were no multiple layers involved. But my method is somewhat long for putting down here. Better if I email it to you, if you want - AND to anyone else who might want it - p.m. me with your email address. I use Photoshop 7, but reckon it could well be adapted to other versions.
(Your question has given me an idea for another "demo"!!! - thank you again, for that)

Hi Mikey

Thanks for viewing the show, am happy you liked it :)

All the hours of fiddling was done in Photoshop making the cutouts! - P. Gold doesn't have keyframes. I can't get my head round keyframes at all - or maybe I lack the patience to persevere?! I'll stick with Gold (at least for the time being!) even though it can mean using a lot more slides to get an effect I want.

Lavina


Lavina -- if you can figure out how to do that in Gold without keyframes,
you would not have a problem figuring them out. Doing the show you
did without keyframes is a LOT of work !! :D

Mickey - believe me I tried, and tried! At one stage I felt keyframes was going to be just great and, theoretically, thought I was getting the hang of it, but on putting it into practise when I had more than two, or three, keyframes on a slide everything started going to pot, all over the place! Maybe I got too ambitious?! I got thoroughly disheartened. It's the most terrible feeling knowing what one wants to do and just can't make things work! I know, a thing is dead easy once 'we know how'! One of these days I might find a reserve of patience and put on my study hat! - to be sure there are lot of great effects I'd love to be able to do, that can't be done with Gold.

Lavina-

I guess I should have been more specific in my question. I wasn't speaking about layers in the Proshow, but layers in Photoshop. I can see where you might confuse the two reading the way I posted it. Sorry! :cry: (PS) I would still like to know, so I will pm you.

Thanks,

Scott

I guess I need to get my poop in a group here. Sorry for the extra post here.

As for your keyframing issues, I had downloaded a file from the "Memebers Created Files" that helped me with multiple KF's. bbtracker created a PDF worksheet that helps one keep track of KF's better. Take a look at it and see what cha think.

Hope this helps.

Lavina,
I don't know why I wrote "PSP" ... I meant "PS7" ... I guess I must have PSP on my mind right now. It may take more work in PSG, but it is amazing how many workarounds can be done.
Thanks,
