Sorry to hear that RagnaroktA. The slides can wait, take care of what you need to do. I might have sometime next week to play around with things if you don't get a chance. Can you send me instructions to recreate what you have done so far and I can mess with it. I'm not that great in photoshop but maybe I can poke around a bit.

Cool would love to see the vids..

Thanks much. Really what I'm trying to do is figure out in Photoshop CS6 how to write a script that will size the text to fit a text layer, and scale it down until it all fits. Seems simple enough, but I haven't been able to get it working. My thoughts on how it will flow:

1) Have the script make an array of all of the text layers and their sizes (width and height).
2) Resize the text to fit that specific layer based on the width and height discovered and available in the array. The text cannot be larger than 72px, and should scale down 4px until it fits the text layer.
3) Rinse and repeat for the other text layers.

Photoshop will accept JavaScript, and VBScript. Scripting documentation for CS6 can be found here. Unfortunately that's about as far as I've gone so far.

Do you want any logos in the videos, or do you just want it to say Feature Presentation and such after the "explosion"?

RagnaroktA Have you uploaded or can you upload the template files you are using for the trivia slides?

[Ragnarok]

I haven't, and I just realized I left the thumb drive at the office. I'll put them up first thing in the morning and PM you a link.

Also i have thx trailers.... Main topic says to put them under "other format" but when will the script use these then? Cause i only have dts and dolby digitals formats on my movies..

You could try http://ivipid.com/ to create some new videos, It cost money for some videos but if you hit the server at the right time a few of them are free. I've used the "Design intro" for my feature presentation video.

RagnaroktA did you read my answer?

Your question: Do you want any logos in the videos, or do you just want it to say Feature Presentation and such after the "explosion"?

My answer: Without logos would be great..

[Skank]

I did, but I haven't modified the videos at all yet. I think it's going to look odd without something there, but we'll see.

You'll need Photoshop. What you need to do is save the Excel file to a CSV, and you may need to remove columns that aren't referenced in Photoshop. You import the CSV as a data set in Photoshop, and then batch process a PSD file for each data set, and each A & B slide. Then you batch image process those PSD files into JPGs.

[deutsch2382]

deutsch2382 You need to include a file in the directory called "slides.xml" the file should contain the following:

Code:

<slides>
    <slide>
        <question format="([a-z])_a\.jpg" />
        <clue format="q([0-9]{1,3})c\.jpg" />
        <answer format="([a-z])_b\.jpg" />
        <mpaa = "N/A">
    </slide>
</slides>

Awesome! Thanks for the info! And thanks for your guys' hard work!
