Slideshow creator, no transitions!

Hi!

I'm trying to create a simple slideshow, using the slideshow creator in Vegas Movie Studio HD 10. I import several jpgs, and in the settings panel I choose different kind of effects, but the only one really applied is the pan and zoom. Other effect (fades, random, etc) never apply to the timeline!

Is there something wrong with my Vegas installation, or is something other to check?

Thanks!

I tried it and it did create the slideshow with various effects, are you changing the type and then recreating it, if not do that.
Delete the created one on the timeline then select the new effect you want and click create again it should place the new one on the timeline with your new effect.
Also try to change the duration of the effect and or the duration of the slide.

I did it, but no result. I also watched to some video tutorial on youtube, I followed all the simple instruction, but nothing!

Are you closing and restarting for the changes or are you deleting the time line and just changing the setting then recreating.
You do not have to rechose the pics everytime just delete and change. with the current dialog open dock it in the dock if you need to to get it out of the way.

Hope that makes sense.

Do you see anything in the Transitions tab when you bring it to the front (it's in the View menu if you happen to have closed it). It should have a list of transitions on the left pane, and some presets that show animations of the transitions in the right pane.

Also make sure that you haven't set the transition duration to 0 in the Slideshow Creator.

If the list and the right pane in the Transitions tab are empty, your video plug-ins are missing. Try uninstalling and reinstalling Vegas Movie Studio to see if they show up.

Hi, thanks for your answers. Unfortunately, they are not useful for me. I did everything you adviced me.

I want to show you a snapshot of my Vegas Movie Studio workspace, so you can see that every parameter is ok, and the transitions are at their own place, but in the timeline there are no transition. If I play the movie, I can see only pan and zoom, no transitions.

Here is the snapshot:

Edit: I discovered that the transition are added on the timeline beetween pictures, but their duration is 0 sec !!!

Automatic crossfades are turned off. Turn them back on and everything should work. Look for the button in the toolbar that looks like one triangle partially covering up another one.

Yeah! It's true! It has not much sense, because if I select an effect in the Slideshow creator I expect that it apply in the timeline... but doesn't matter! :-)

Thank you!!! :-)
