Wow. I don't even have the latest production release on our main projection machine yet!

Can't wait to hear more about audio improv.

I am thinking the same thing Joel.

Doug, You guys must have been chompin at the bit to get this out. Way to keep up on top of things.

I am about to apply the 2/26 now, and will take the beta home. I wish I had a better machine at home to play with it.

Champing, not chomping. ask any horse person.

(Sorry, I had a coworker that had this as a pet peeve, so it always jumps out at me).

A couple of quick questions:
Does Color Improv work on top of Background Improv? When I am using Background Improv, the display doesn't change colors with Color Improv, but the current and next displays do.
Can the size, transparency, etc. of the Overlay Improv display be changed? If so, how? I've searched around for 10 min. w/o finding how to do it.

Regarding Color Improv on BGI - the short answer is yes.  Color Improv is set as an effect.  See the Beta KB on this.

As far as the Overlay Improv - Yes again... On the far right of the panel is a vertical settings tab.  Click that.

Well, Technically, the Overlay Improv is on top of the others - but you get the idea...
 

It is all about the layers - Have Fun!

Colour Improv and Colerlay Improv are so cool!
I've been using them for a little while now, you can see them both in action here.

I have a 3 day youth event coming up tomorrow, where we have a actual budget for lighting (We had none in that previous link).
So as you can see, Colour Improv multiplies your backgrounds, and I think I LOVE IT!

Greetings, I do hope that the Windows 7 compatibility will be fully worked out by the time this one comes out. The December version is virtually unusable on my Windows 7 workstation, I am sorry to report to you. I went back to September edition. (Dec edition works fine on our XP presentation machine.)

Here are the issues my near-brand-new Windows 7 Professional has with Dec release of SSP:

1) Red "X" close button non-functional
2) "Exit" on menu non-functional
      (ctrl-alt-del only way to close out Dec SSP on Windows 7 Professional OS)
3) "Program" drop-down menu non-functional
4) "Songs" drop-down menu non-functional
5) "Song/Edit" context menu non-functional

 

Thank you

Ken Rosentrater

Ken, you should call tech support and work this through with them. I have had no troubles with the December 2009 release on Windows 7.

I suppose you are right. However, with a full plate I just didn't have time then to mess with it, so I reverted to the September release. I'll have to wait for a day when I can give a few hours, as I am sure it will take!

 

thanks

I had the very same problem while I was trying out the December Version with the Windows 7. After some "trial and error" process, I found out the problem is related to the "Cinematic FX" collection.

Try to uninstall and reinstall it without the Cinematic FX option (unselect it when reinstalling SSP). It worked fine for me. Good luck.

I understand that situation. Been there several times. But usually pleased with the result once I do have time to call and have them take a look.

Ken and Cleber,

If you are having issues, please contact the support team as they are better equipped to handle you inquiry by looking at your system via remote to determine what is going on.

At the very least, please post your comments in the correct forum.  If you are having Window 7 issues, they need to go in the User Support - V7 on Windows 7  forum so that the people that can address your post will see it in a timely manner.

I looked at the issues you listed on several Win7 systems and saw no issues.  This is all the more reason you should contact the support team at your earliest convenience so they can walk through it with you.

Thanks Cleber, for the clue, and George, for the offer.

Since I have more to do than I can keep current on anyway, I'll stick with September version that I know works until I see / hear indications that the Windows 7 glitches are cleared out. I have no desire to uninstall/reinstall and hope that things might work and/or to spend lengths of time on tech support trying to iron things out.


Just let me know when the upgrades fully function with Win 7. Thanks.

See, there's the problem. In all their testing, it is fully functional with Windows 7.

So until they can take a look at your system, your problems cannot be worked on.

OK. Thanks. I'll just stay wiith Sept for now. Don't have time to mess with testing etc.
