Title: slide show
Post by: TMSOriginal on March 03, 2010, 09:00:33 PM
Quick question:
I use the slide show function a lot and need to change from one show to another -- is there a way to do it without having the Ots logo pop up for a moment during the transition?  Or is there a way to sub my logo for the Ots logo?

Thanks!

Have a SUPER day!

Sorry Todd, but not to my knowledge on both points.

Jeff,

Thanks for the reply.  Bummer, but that's what I thought.  Worth checking here though!  :)

Have a good one.

This is a minor annoyance of mine too, we add and remove slides to the slideshow folder all the time, and having to hit the 'Apply' button in the Slideshow Config seems to be the only way to get the new slides to refresh to Ots (or the deleted ones to stop showing). But hitting Apply causes the logo to flash on screen, which just doesn't look as professional as it could.

I do quite a few corporate gigs & weddings, which normally require almost constant use of the slideshow during cocktails & dinner.

I always ask for a copy of the clients images in advance, so that I can run through and crop/edit where required. I also make up 2 or 3 mini movies (60-120 secs) from the images supplied and put them in an album linked with at least a dozen audio tracks that I know I will play during cocktails/dinner.

Then, if new images (eg. photo shots of guests) need to be added during the function, I can show an images mini movie with relevant music track whilst I load the new images and apply.

To avoid flashing up the Ots logo during a slide folder refresh, hit "Apply" while a video is playing.
