Templates in new Autoplay 5

[TheMatrix]

Hi All,

Downloaded the latest version, and was very desappointed with the templates that came with this version. The great thing about the latest 2 version releases was that the templates were very good.

In this version, I think a step back has been taken in regards to this. I use the templates as a stepping stone to creating very good menus for training cd-roms, in this edition I don't think I could use any of the templates for this purpose.

My two cents worth, I would like to hear other views even though I still regard AutoPlay as one of the best software programs on the market.

Thanks for the feedback. What kind of templates would you like to see? Which ones did you like in the past versions? We would love to hear from users out there about which kinds of templates would be helpful to you.

I would like different template samples, training in particular, but anything really to give us users a sample of what can be created in AutoPlay.
I am disappointed as the templates are very basic and few in numbers. I think 11 template examples is not as many as previous versions. I thought the templates in v4.0 were off a much higher standard than the new version.

Well what do ya need? Maybe I can help ya out. ;)

Last two versions? :) Version 3.0 of AMS contained no usable professional templates. Anyhow I did my best with both 4.0 and 5.0.

In terms of quailty I disagree. The templates in 5.0 are of high quality, superior to 4.0. I think everyone here would agree that the new Music Player is much cooler than the old Chrome MP3 player. And also that the new training module template is a high quality design by anyone's standards. Etc.

So, I'm sad to hear you're disappointed but I would offer this:

1. We did our best, as always.
2. We simply do not have extra time to build more free templates, although I wish I did.
3. We will be offering a variety of professional template CDs at Style Workshop.com.

Hope that clarfifies the issue a bit. Have a good one. :)

I'm looking forward to the professional template CDs at Style Workshop.com. Will these be released soon?

I was just saying that I was disappointed with the templates that are in the new version. As I said I thought the templates in v4 was moving in the right direction but v5 is a letdown.
I would luv to be able to post some templates to share with everyone, but I'm not very good with AutoPlay hence this post about the template range.

AutoPlay is a good product and its one that I have used in the past, my point about the templates is that I was disappointed with the range available in the new product.
I was unaware that you are releasing a professional template range on workshop.com but I think these templates should have been included in the new version of AutoPlay.

p.s. Will the professional templates on workshop.com be compatiable with AutoPlay v4?

No details on further templates at this point... They will be announced here in the forum at such time as they become available. :)

Hi. As I mentioned there are no details on further templates at this point... Anyhow if you are using 5.0, as you mention, then you will want to use 5.0 templates. As a 5.0 user there is no advantage to using 4.0 templates.

These are old posts and I don't see any template CDs - I just purchased AutoPlay 5 Pro - I want more templates - where do I find them? I would be happy to purchase a CD if it is available...
