Some more action with those boards

It's becoming addictive ... I think I'd better stop now!



C'mon guys give a go

Kyle -

Yes - stop before it's too late!

The attached clip was made using only colour boards with masks applied (I think in PD10). With a bit of creativity & a lot of time, PD's colour boards could be used as a basic animation tool... evidenced in the flag, house & stars that have been posted.

Cheers - Tony

Whew, thanks for the advice Tony, I feel better for that

On a more serious question about colour boards. When changing the width a board I used to be able to just grab the top of the board when the mouse pointer arrow changes to a pair of up and down arrows, then click and drag downwards to adjust the height and/or width. Now I'm not able to do that as the dimensions of the board remain fixed! I have to manipulate the blue corners that you've already demonstrated so brilliantly in one of your many videos. Is there a way around that or is this a new "feature" ?

Cheers Cubby, I also thought you could do that while still in Timeline mode ... but you can't too many tools and not enough time : I just want to edit and make pictures, walk my dog and go fishing.
