5.10 Beta 1

Chris,

The Slideshow tab with reordering is nice although I would love to
be able to delete an image instead of having to return to the
sequencer.

As for VCD transitions, my first try was very, very slow in
rendering and the the transitions (fade) were terrible. Appeared as
if the images were subjected to some type filter during the
transitions. Has anyone else reported anything similar? Given the
diminished quality and the slow rendering time, I won't be creating
VCD shows with transitions. I really wish it was not an option
since some inexperienced users will probably use it and then
complain about the poor quality, and not mention that the quality of
the images on VCDs without transitions is IMO one of (if not) the
best available.

Good point, I'll pass that on.

Its a bug, well an experiment we left in in error. Beta 2 fixes it.

Chris.

Hi,
I said this a while back, you will lose quality when applying transitions (
at least that is what I believe) I for one just want good quality, if not g
ood they are not worth watching. I have tried other programs in the past an
d they have produced a little shudder when using transitions.
I just don't think they are necessary on a tv presentation. Can be a distr
action. I feel it is a waste of programmers efforts at this present time.
