FPVP Tools for ProShow - Update
Many many changes were made to these tools. FPVP Tools for ProShow are provided in Microsoft Excel and OpenOffice formats (the latter being a new addition!)
• EXCEL XLS Format: (Excel 97 - 2003).
• Excel XLSX Format: (2007 and later).
• OpenOffice Calc format: ODS (OpenOffice 4.1.1). OpenOffice is available for free as an Open Source alternative to Microsoft Office. This should provide a wider audience to people who want to experiment with the ProShow features that Photodex hasn't given direct access to.
========================
One addition to the tool set is the ability to find the actual, physical location of a rotated or tilted layer (in increments of 90 degrees. There is also the ability to find the physical location of a rotated layer at any rotation angle. This is important for those who need to do move the rotated/tllted layer along the rotation angle or perpendicular to it. That's not easy to do accurately if the layer was rotated/tilted on a rotation center other than 0.
ProShow Producer includes the modifier functions of Linear Ramp and Quadratic Curve. FPVP Tools now includes tools to take advantage of those features. The Linear Ramp is actually a sub-function of the Quadratic Curve. The Quadratic curve feature is actually quite a bit more complicated than it looks. Its values define a parabolic curve … but ProShow's features provide no insight into where on that curve the values place you. The FPVP Tools of Quadratic / Linear Function graphs the values you provide and lets you actually see where you are on the curve or what the linear ramp looks like for the given values. It helps to provide a means of determining exactly where the layer will appear on the screen for a given set of values. It helps to design from a knowledge of exactly what is happening in ProShow.
A number of usability changes were also made.N
ote: Both the Full and Basic versions have been updated.
