Maybe it is a bad download, I’ll give it a try again tomorrow. Thanks for the response.

It may be me (it usually is), but your .zip file will not unzip. It just locks up and I have to kill it through the “Task Manager”.

Thank you for sharing that. It is VERY nice.

Dionysus,

I am not the original poster in this thread but I wanted to say that I downloaded your project file from above and it is really nice as were all of your emitters in this month’s release. Thanks.

I have a CineForm listed in my start programs, not a Cinescore.

Alan,

Thank you for all of your patience in this matter. I know it must seem trivial to some but the little things sometimes cause the most frustration.
So to be perfectly clear: I should always hit ALT-1 (where I have set up my preferred layout) upon startup of PI to sure that I render to 720×480 (in my case that is what ALT-1 is set to).

When you render the project, I thought it would only render what shows in the stage window. Is this correct? Or will it render whatever the true stage size is, whether it shows or not?

“I do know that some machines have a problem with the initial sizing of the layout on pI3 for Windows — it seems that the stage window width is reduced by some amount at startup.”

This is exactly what happens to me.

Alan,
The stage properties show as 720×480, but the actual window doesn’t redraw to represent that fact until I go to the ‘Load Layout’ menu. I have opened and closed it fifteen times before saving a project/after saving a project/restoring the default settings and re-entering my own settings, etc. It is version 3.0.1a (29Jan2004). Even if I open a previously saved project with the correct settings, the project properties shows the correct size but the screen needs to be refreshed with via the menu option.

Alan,
Would it be possible to address the fact that PI doesn’t remember the stage size upon opening? I know I asked you about it quite a while ago, but you mentioned that it didn’t happen to everyone. It is very annoying though, even if you can reset it through the “View-Load Layout” menu option. I only use 720×480, I have removed all of the other stage sizes from the project settings box, but it still comes up as something else. The actual project settings say 720×480 but the stage window is smaller than that until I ‘Load Layouts’ that I have saved (720×480) and then the stage is resized. Make sense? Hope you can help…just frustrating but NOT critical.

Thanks,
Bob
