Here are the things I mentioned in the email that I wrote them:
1. The binoculars with night vision. - I have used Photoshop to make my own
image and saved it as a TGA (with alpha channel - I knew about this and it was
a good thing since there is no mention of needing one) and a BMP. Neither show
up in the Pictures area. The only way I can get things to show up is if I
rename them to something already in use. For example, one image I renamed
snow-1.tga and when I grabbed the snow-1 image in the app it was actually my
new image. The help file said all I had to do was make the image in a graphics
program and throw it in the directory. Is there something I am doing wrong or
is this feature not really added?
2. Focus. - When I was viewing the tips there was a mention of a focus option.
Where is this focus? I have looked on the camera and throughout the
application but I can not find anything on changing the focus.
3. Multiple Sounds and Pictures. - I have heard multiple sounds in some of the
tip clips. Like an alarm going as the motorcycle speeds off. How is this
done? I can only add one sound in the track for a certain amount of time. If
I add another sound it snaps to the end or beginning of the previous sound. I
would like to do the same with the pictures. For example, have the binoculars
and the nightvision at the same time. Is this something that can be done or
that will hopefully be added soon? (*I did find a way to have two sound effects
at once. One clip can go in the Music track and one goes in the Sound track. I
did this in the Ninja Madness movie. I still think there should be more sound
tracks so I can add a couple more things here and there.*)
4. Movie sizes. - Why are the finished movies only MPGs? I notice you have
MOVs for the tips and sample movies so is there anyway we can have that feature
added? I don't mind the file size as long as the movie is good and people can
really enjoy it.
About the Tips section...it mentions things like:
-How to make a character run (also seen on the studios site)
-Using a dolly attached to the car so the camera stays even with the car
-How they made the shark look like it was coming out of water
-How to make an object fly in the air without using strings.
-How to make rain (which is part of the program and changing it will not happen
because of my 1st problem I wrote them in the email)
-How they had Johnny hanging from the pit in the Temple of Gloom clip.
-Using string to make the car jump the ramp
(Most of the tips used the accessories that do not come with the main
set..imagine that.)
