Hi there,
With regard to how you see a collection etc.
1) Click the button called Collection
2) Choose the collection you want to view, so that you can see a display of
the items in that collection
3) Above the preview window you will see a small icon of a window containing
some objects. If you allow the mouse to rest on it you will see the tool tip
"Views". Click the small down arrow and select "Detail"
4) Back with the collection Click the small header bar called "Name" once or
twice so that the result is that you can see your images arranged in
Alpha-Numeric order.
5) Left Click the top most image.
6) Being careful not to let the mouse wander over the list, use the scroll
button on the right hand side and scroll to the bottom of the list
7) Hold down the shift key and left click the bottom item once only
8) Put mouse over list , Press & hold down the right mouse key
9) Drag all of the items on to the timeline and release the mouse button
(The cursor changes to a "+" sign indicating where it is OK to drop the
items.
The above method bypass's the auto movie option all together. What it does
not do is overlap the images or provide a transition between the images.
This can also be fixed...
A) After step 5 above...drag that image to the timeline...it will become the
first image on the timeline.
B) Perform step 6 above
C) Select and drag the last image onto the timeline, giving you Image 001
and the last image side by side.
D) Look for the small Plus & Minus signs to the left of the time line. Click
the Plus sign until it becomes inactive. This opens up the time line to its
greatest resolution.
E) With the last Image. Place mouse over the image in the timeline and hold
down the left mouse button.
F) Drag the image sideways so that it overlaps the first image. Do not go to
far to the left. If you do the images will exchange places. What you are
achieving here is a transition from one image to the other. The amount of
time the transition takes is dictated by the amount of overlap.
H) Go to the transitions folder, Left click the transition of your choice
and drag and drop it onto the small transition bar just below the two images
in the timeline.
I) Go back to the list of images and scroll up to the top of the list.
J) Left click the SECOND image down
K) Scroll down to the bottom of the list.
L) Hold down the shift key and left click the last but one image
M) Depress and hold the right key over the images now selected
N) Drag the images down towards the time line and whilst still holding down
the right mouse key position the mouse over the transition we worked on
earlier
O) Release the mouse button and site back
It may take several seconds to complete. What you will end up with is all of
your images in alphabetical order, all of them overlapped the same amount
and all with the same transition effect. At this stage you can make changes
to the overall layout on a per image basis if you need/want to.
I am now going to take a lie down
P.S. If this does not work ... I have left the country, it was all a bad
dream, Who are you anyway ???
