Creating a filmstrip

[Cookies]

I'm trying to create a filmstrip, in which the photographs enter from the right and exit via the left, followed immediately by the next filmstrip (no space in between). So far I've managed to get part of it done by making all the transitions into pushes (I could insert the correct push to all the transition points all at once). Then I changed the pan setting on the slides to horizontal, but I've only been able to change the pan setting on one slide at a time. I still have to go back and fix the "zoom" settings, because at first I let the program do an automatic pan&zoom for my slideshow, but now I have to override the zooms it chose.

 

Is there an easier way to do this, either the whole job or, failing that, any of the steps I'm taking?

Thanks, sknis! I'll try using the Auto Motion.

If the Roxio people read this, I hope in their next version of EMC they include not only a filmstrip option in the transition themes, but also a far easier way to bulk edit things like pan&zoom.

When you say film strip, I think top to bottom push; you are saying right to left. I suppose that you don't like the filmstrip transition? I'm not big on it either.

I guess I don't mean filmstrip like through a projector; I guess I mean like a banner that gets scrolled horizontally past a viewing screen, does that make sense?

You got that right ; what on earth were they thinking.....

I'm old enough to remember the old, old side projectors that used a strip of images that were send to the projector sideways -- manual advance.

 

I know I can do that on a web page but I don't know a better way of doing it in this program.

I'M old enough so that I remember some of our school lessons presented that way. The filmstrip went into one side of the projector and slowly (automatically!!! It was state-of-the-art multi-media teaching) fed through to the other side, advancing one slide at a time keeping perfect time with the narration. Boy, those (weren't) the days.....

 

Thanks for the help!!

I don't know of a short cut.

 

BTW, if you apply Auto Motion to the images and don't like what you get, re-apply it. The program will do a different one. Keep re-applying until you get something you like. Apply Auto Motion before you add the transitions.
