  RE: Slideshow wizard - increasing slide durations
  Hi, I was under the impression that SSM would adjust the cuts to the beat of the music, so asking for 3 seconds would give approximately that. Looking in the manual and at SSM, it doesn't look that way. Terry, how do you get the cuts, even with

  RE: Slideshow wizard - increasing slide durations
  Hi John, Thanks, that’s an interesting set of tests. If I have a large number of photos (say over 30), the main reason that I use SSM is to reduce the time of adding individual effects. Even though I have some effects of my own, I sometimes like to

  RE: Slideshow wizard - increasing slide durations
  Hi Terry, The old problem remains, but its due to have effects. Using the latest patch (today) of VPX, which, I presume, uses the same SlideShow Maker version as in MEP, gave me varied results that may depend on the effects used and the music. First

  RE: pictures
  It is well worth while playing with the Slide show maker feature if you want some random effects. It seems very intuitive when applying zooms to photos as it automatically seems to find the main feature of the shot. It deals with Portrait pictures

  Update - after only an hour or so. Cannot crop using the section button in view/animation. For example, crop a 4:3 portrait from a 16:9 landscape and I end up with a section from a different area of the picture that cannot be resized using

  VPX/MEP - effect to handle video filmed in portrait mode
  Hi, Was I dreaming or was there not a new feature advertised for MEP 2017 a while back that would take a video shot in portrait mode, copy it to another track, and resize the one on track one to full screen and blur it. Aha, I found it in the new

  RE: MEP 2016 setting not working?
  Terry, I noticed your penchant for time. Left the hotel at 8:13 and walked to the X-bridge, arriving at 8:39. I now just settle for the day, unless timing was important. Being an engineer, I always like to get things in the correct order, so I have

  RE: MEP 2016 setting not working?
  Hi Terry . . . . At 4:3 or similar, don't you get more flexibility? . . . . Depends on how many portrait images you take - me virtually none, however one advantage of 16:9 for portrait mode is tall buildings get more in especially in cities where

  Border Effects to use a Portrait image in a wide/full screen video
  On the upgrade site they include a brief video showing a Portrait image with what they call Border Effects to kind of embedded the narrow portrait image into a wider-screen shot. In a way, they show the border(s) echoing aspects of the narrow image
