Should work.

Can you send me the faulty flv file by mail, so i can give it a try?

Hi Kalika,

First, thanks for this detailed feedback: I really appreciate to have feedbacks from real users, it is always useful for me.

Now, let’s go back to your points:

1. Animated Gifs

Yes, this is not supported yet. I will add it on a future release. In the meantime, the workaround is to use a converter to transform your gif to an avi file (you can do that using Windows Movie Maker).

2. Move freely slides on the sidebar

You are right, the actual way of doing this (“move slide up/down”) is not very intuitive. I will definitly enhance that part.

3. Preview part of the presentation

Sure, it would be an interesting feature. I may change the preview behaviour to start in the current slide but go until the end of the presentation. That’s a good suggestion and I will add that feature asap.

4. Open two sef documents and copy/paste

Yes, that’s a known problem. This one is not that easy to resolve, so I won’t say it will be resolved in the next version, but it is also on my todo list.

The upcoming pro version with the Powerpoint import/export will help on this area but I agree I have to enhance that.

As a conclusion, I agree with you about these limitations, and I am well aware of them, I try to enhance the user interface on each version and I will try to address these points in the short term. But as I am only one developer for now, it takes a bit more time than on a “big” company.

Thanks again for your feedback, I will keep you informed about the new features in this area.

Hi Manny,

About the font,color and alignment: if they are not available it is a problem. I already had the case where the full version download was faulty and the result was the right property window was not available. If it is the case, please download once again the software from the link you received in your email.

About paragraph, you can create a multi line standard text. This feature is not available for 3D texts.

Paragraphs for 2D texts is available since 1.4.0, more news about that here:

Merci pour les commentaires!

Je comprend très bien votre idée (qui est très bonne). Je ne sais pas si il est vraiment possible de l’ajouter tel que vous le décrivez (c’est à dire en rajoutant un onglet) mais je comprend le besoin et je vais réfléchir et essayer d’ajouter cette fonctionnalité dans la prochaine version.

Merci encore pour cette suggestion.

Bonjour Joossy,

En gros, vous ajouter des diapositives en cliquant sue le bouton avec un “+” dans la barre d’outil, puis vous choisissez une disposition de base.

Ensuite vous disposez vos objets et vous choisissez les effets pour la diapo en utilisant les 3 onglets suivants:

– Main Tab: c’est là ou vous allez poser vos objets (textes, images, vidéos, …). Vous pouvez bouger, changer la taille et tourner tous les objets. Pour rajouter des textes ou des photos vous pouvez cliquer sur les icônes d’en bas ou simplement faire un copié-collé de vos photos favorites (par exemple).

Vous pouvez aussi ajouter des effets d’apparitions, d’animations et de disparitions aux différents objets de la diapo en les sélectionnant et en utilisant la colonne de droite.

– Background: c’est là ou vous choisissez l’effet de fond pour la diapo actuelle.

– Transition: c’est là ou vous choisissez l’effet de transition entre la diapo actuelle et la prochaine (La première diapo a un onglet de transition supplémentaire pour choisir la transition de début de présentation).

Puis vous pouvez voir ce que ça donne en cliquant sur un des bouton bleu dans la barre d’outil (ou en appuyant sur F5 ou F6 (plein écran) )

Puis ensuite vous continuez avec la diapo suivante.

Une fois votre présentation terminée, vous pouvez simplement la jouer dans Slide Effect ou créez un fichier “.exe” pour la jouer sur une autre machine. Vous pouvez aussi créer un film ou un film flash(flv) pour le mettre sur une page web.

Voilà, je crois que j’ai un peu fait le tour, si vous avez des questions plus précises n’hésitez pas!

Yes, it is a top priority request. It should appears on the next version (16:9 and 16:10 because in fact computer widescreen are usually 16:10 and not 16:9)

[alain]

Thanks for the kind comments!

About your suggestions:

1. More Sounds
I agree. The sound support is a bit basic now, and I will enhance this part in the future for sure. The main thing I have to resolve is to keep everything easy to use, even with multiple songs.

2. Multiples presentations
Yes, again, I agree. I will try to add it as soon as possible.

By the way, I am working on a Powerpoint Import/Export that may help in this case. (But it will be available only in the upcoming “Pro Version”).

Anyway, thanks for your feedback: It helps me a lot to enhance Slide Effect the right way.

Use menu “Project” then “Settings”, check “Music Enabled” and choose your music.

[alain]

Yes it is possible.

I think the error is not linked to the memory error message. There is a nasty bug on actual version that leads to a memory error when duplicating slides. To resolve it, you have to remove the pictures on the slide that should appear just after the error, then put the image back, and it should work.

I know this bug is very annoying and I will release the next version 1.4.2 that will correct it as soon as possible.

[alain]

Yes maybe.

But it would be not that fun to implement it 🙂

Anyway I put this idea on my todo list, but it is not a high priority.

[alain]

Added on my todo list.

thanks for the feedback.

[alain]

Hey thanks, Tribal.

happy it fixes your issue!

[alain]

I think I could do some enhancements in the engine too (some pictures are always bundled in the package even if you don’t use it in your presentation.

About the picture, the problem is a little bit more complicated than what you describe:

We do not keep the original size and compression, we transform every picture in PNG format, and we rescale it by power of 2 sizes. It is a hardware requirement to use power of 2 sizes when dealing directly with 3D hardware.

So for instance if you create a 100×150 logo, it will be stored on a 128×256 picture. A good practice is to always use directly power of 2 sizes when you create pictures (32,64,128,256,512,1024 and so on)

International text is available on the new version!

1.4.0 officially released: these features are now available.
