RudiRe Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 Does any one know, by which means this kind of presentation can be accomplished? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alrobin Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 Just as a matter of interest on this topic, I have created a few slide shows in Macromedia's "Flash", but the dissolves are so poor, due to all the processor overhead in handling all the other features, that I have given up, except for the odd production for the web where images are kept very small.However, if Macromedia ever design in a special still slide-show capability (unlikely), or we end up someday with 100-Ghz processors (maybe not in my lifetime), then "Flash", and it's imitator, "Swish", would provide some awesome capabilities. The text and graphic - handling capabilities, for titles, and ability to provide pseudo-animation, are awesome! I have a short "Flash" animation on my web site, using actual photos, here:Lion_Stalking Ciao,Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudiRe Posted January 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 Alrobin,I've looked at your suspense page. Interesting technique. Is this kind of animation saved in one executable file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alrobin Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 RudiRe,Yes, it is saveable as an EXE, and can be added to a web page or run from a CD. And, like PTE, the file sizes are largely determined by the size of music and image files.The neat thing about "Flash" is the time line where each image and each piece of music has a separate line, and everythng can be dragged around, including the overlaps of the transitions. Wish the dissolves were better, though.However, it's mainly a web-authoring tool for making commercials, etc. Most of the large-company web pages use it now, and some of the creations are really clever.'The learning-curve is a little steep and it's a bit of a "finnicky" program to use, but once you figure out the process for adding images and transitions, it goes pretty smoothly. It also provides lots of programmable ability with buttons, etc.You can spot a "Flash" creation by right-clicking on the image area and it will say something about "Macromedia Flash", and let you set some parameters such as "Play", "Loop", "Forward", "Rewind", etc.I haven't tried "Swish", but I imagine that it provides similar features.Ciao,Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alrobin Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 Further to my previous post, the files are not "EXE" but ".swf" files, but they are free-standing executable files.Ciao,Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
