Hi, Neil!

Did you notice how big the file(s) was/were?
What if you .zip it?

Hi, Rune, The transitions I sent to Tony were 1.59mb each, well inside the range of files I could attach and send via my internet service provider's email facility, I didn't "zip" either of them because I don't think I have that facility on my computer. In any case, once I sent the XML components(which were somehow missed in the initial send), Tony was able to use them to successfully install the transitions I created. Tony sent me a transition effect in return which successfully installed itself straight off, so your idea has been shown to work okay. By the way, Tony, what did you think of those diagonal wipes? They're a nice, simple effect, best suited to segues between two distinctly different scenes, among other uses.

Cheers!

Neil.

Neil, I don't recall if you've ever mentioned which version of Windows you're running but Windows 7 certainly has a zip facility built-in and I would guess 8, 8.1 and 10 would have also. Regards,

Hi, Mike,

I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium. A prevous computer I had ran Windows XP. To be honest, I never really had much need for zipping files for sending via email. As it was, the two transitions I sent Tony(Ynotfish) came in well inside my maximum limit for attachments, so I was quite safe in sending them unzipped. At some time in the future I'll play around with this zipping feature to see how much it can condense files, I may then start using it for larger files.

Cheers!

Neil.

The reason I mentioned zipping was because I didn't know the size of the files. If they were big, it might have been a good idea to zip them.

I have to check out the files you have mentioned, and see if I'm able to find them and send them to a friend of mine.

Hi, Rune!

It's quite easy to find out how big a file is, whatever the file type might be. In this case it's templates for particle objects or transitions(or anything else you may wish to share). When you've located what you want to send via email, if you need to send a folder-full of content, right-click on the folder and go to "properties". The total file size of all the components together will be shown and you can gauge for yourself whether you need to zip them or not. Probably safest to zip if you need to, if the file size exceeds 2.5 megabytes, but it really depends on how large a file you can send via your email service. This can vary markedly between different providers of such services. It can't hurt to check that out before you find out how large the file size is on the template you want to send. The total file size for each transition I sent was well inside the range for what I could send. I'll toy around with zipping at some future stage, to get the hang of the process, so-to-speak, then I'll reserve the process for anything where the file size is too large to send any other way.

Cheers!

Neil.

Yes, I know Neil. I know I can find it by going to the right folder. I just asked before I bothered to do it myself!

Hi, Rune!

This is a second(and hopefully final) attempt at answering this post as the first effort went ker-blooey(server error). I'm glad that I, with a great deal of help from Tony(Ynotfish), have been able to help in proving your idea of emailing templates workable. However, I feel this thread has now run its course, I don't think I can add anything to what I, or Tony,, or anyone else, for that matter, had already said. All that's left for me is to wish you well in your endeavours.

Cheers!

Neil.

I want to thank you both for helping me in this case!!! Thank you very much!!!

All the best,
Rune

Glad to be of help, I'm sure Tony'll feel likewise!

Quote Hi,

I wonder if it's possible to share my templates with friends without going through DirectorZone or CyberLink Cloud?

Is it possible to share let's say a title template via e-mail etc.?

Hi Mate

Great News!



I managed to compile my own .dztr (for transitions) as well as .dzep (for express projects).



The reason I decided to do my own investigation, was that I'm creating my own express projects for PD Users and wanted a self-installer. So finally I got it right!!

My code is still messy, but I'm planning on releasing a workable version soon.

I'm also busy with a software tool which will enable you to create the files nessesary for your own Title Projects where you will be able to use your own video frames, no matter how much frames you might have.



Any comments?
