Hi there
I'm new to the forum and the software. I use two "other" software applications to design projects on CD Rom. No names, No pack drill! I have been working on a project for about 6 weeks that includes 10 video's and thousands of pictures as well as text information. Last week we published our first master and :huh no way would that cd's run past the intro in any machine tested! Changed the whole intro and menu pages and :huh Nothing.
In frustration I did a search on the net and found AMS 5.0. Tried a few things in the trail version and now 4 days later the project is nearly rebuilt in AMS. Runs beautifully! :lol. The video capabilities impressed me most. The project fills up 2 CD's to the hilt and it was quite a new experience to build without master pages and chapters. (anyone listening?) Would greatly improve the ease of use when doing huge projects. Also had a problem with slideshows but found a solution on the forum.
I will be purchasing this great app tomorrow. It really is the most stable of any apps I have used and are using for my projects.
I received the video as DAT files and then converted and edited them in Video editing software. Huge files. Then I create Mpeg2 files of a video and then convert it to WMA/v file. File size comes down from 683megs to 150megs with a fantastic result. Just some useless information.
I have a excel spreadsheet which calculates investment figures. It is quite complex and want to simplify it and running within a project. The user inputs two fields and then gets quite a few results. Is there anyone out there who knows about these things? I am prepared to pay for the job. Due to the nature of the spreadsheet and the fact that it is a program on the web I would like interested parties to contact me via PM. Could be accused of spamming if I attach it her :eek:
Just one little problem: Could not access the help files in the trail version as the program crashes when the help link is clicked. No sweat, just making it quite difficult to work from scratch when new. Found another help file though! THe Forum :p
Apologies for the large post.
Regards
Luke
