Slideshow vs single image

Post by lttton » Mon Sep 16, 2013 9:51 pm

Hi Folks,
i have to build a showfile with more than 130 images with Text (for translation). I have to fire them manually, so i have to load each image to a single video/image-Cue, and i have then to switch every single cue to "continuos". Alot of work, huh?
is there any chance to do this easier? The files are all in the same directory and are numbered from 1 to 133.
i thought about a find/replace thing with a text- or XML-editor, but this is much confusing, because of sorting (1,11,111,112,...,119,12,121,...,2,3,4,5 and so on).
Best would be a multiple file load with choice between building single cues or a slideshow, or a slideshow with the capability of playing images manually.
any ideas?
Uwe

Yes, there is an easier way, and that is to drag-and-drop the image files into the cue list in the SCS Editor. If you drag-and-drop multiple image files then SCS asks you if you want multiple cues or a single cue. See Drag and Drop in the SCS Help for more info, particularly the last paragraph under 'The Editor Cue List'.

Note that SCS endeavours to add the files in the order in which you select them, but that cannot be guaranteed as it relies on the order of files presented by the underlying Windows API.

Although this is available now, I'll also consider adding a dialog box to the 'Add Video Cue' file selection to allow you to request multiple cues instead of a single cue.
