I can't wait to try this new effect! This is one of my wishes, but it sounds like you threw in a few steroids with it.

Am I the only one that can't get the examples to load? The progress bar gets about half way across, and then stalls. The examples are all white, and a right-click states that the movie isn't loaded.

Too bad Lee's still not doing this. This was his dream and he would have loved it.

Looks great! I'll be upgrading soon and trying this out.

Does it have to come to a complete stop before it fades to the next slide, as the demo does?

It doesn't have to, but it looks like that is how the Photo Slides Builder constructs slide show.

I just used that this weekend. Some missionaries at our church had about 50 pics for a slide show.

I used the photoslides builder with pan/zoom and really kicked it up a notch over just static pictures.

I will work with it to see if I can get it to fade to the next before it comes to a complete stop. ealy experimentation looks good.

Question: Does the automatic pan/zoom configurator somehow use a face finder or something to decide what to pan/zoom? It seems to do a pretty good job for an automated artistic process.

No it doesn't. However, for the auto mode, we put some thought into the question of, if we know nothing about an image, what pans and zooms are most likely to look good. The auto mode is not simply a random selection of pans and zooms.

I could use a little further explanation of the various possible input items. I'm not quite sure how to do "multipath" and the beginning and ending locations are confusing if they are already designated in the path.
