There are loads of transitions in PD. I'm sure there is something equivalent in most video editing software. I haven't had Pinnacle products on my PC's for a long time.

Thanks Dafydd

I do not think my question was put very well. In Pinnacle you can place a transition on the time line between two clips, the same as in PD6, but you can then select any number of adjacent clips, right click on the block of clips & choose 'ripple', the same transition will then be placed between all of the clips. I could not find a way of doing this in PD6. To date I only have the trial version of PD6, but tomorrow hopefully the full PD6 version should arrive in the post.
I found this feature useful not only when making a video, but particularly useful when making a slideshow.

Hi John,

I too thought "Ripple" was the name of the transition. I think I understand your question now.

The only transition that I know of that can be "rippled" through all your video clips is the Fading transition. At the top of the transitions area, there is a dropdown with the "Apply Fading Transition to All" option.

If you are making a slideshow, PowerDirector has a feature that is pretty cool. Once you have a few pictures in the Timeline, you can select them all and a "Slideshow" button appears. There are different options for your slideshow, but I think Motion is the coolest

Hope this is helpful,

Brady

Thanks Brady

I will wait until I've installed the full version of PD6 before I try what you have
suggested. Hopefully later today.

Hi Brady
I have now received & installed PD6 deluxe, & tried out the slide show feature, which worked fine.
Thank you for your help Brady Best regards
