We get quite a lot of e-mails regarding how to add scrolling credits to the end of the slideshow. This can be accomplished easily with the text caption effects as follow:

1. Add a TEXT slide to the end of your show, and double-click on it.
2. Go to the TEXT tab, and add a new text caption. Double-click on this caption, and then enter all the credits (use different lines if you want). It’s important that you do NOT change the position of your text (leave it as default). Click DONE when you’re done editing.
3. On the same TEXT tab, look under the EFFECT column. Click on the effect cell corresponding to your text caption, and select “Scroll Up”. After that, set “Effect Duration” to “50%”. You’re done. Click PLAY to preview.

We found a little freeware gem written by Marcus Hebel today. It’s called ShiftN:

Essentially, what it does is it detects converging vertical lines in your photos, and then do a perspective scaling so that the vertical lines are perfectly vertical. For photos with architecture buildings, this results in a very aesthetic view.

The web site is in German, but the software is in both English and German. Give it a try on pictures with buildings. You’ll be amazed!

MemoriesOnTV 3.1.6 is released. This is a minor bug fix release (see changes), which includes fixing an EXIF bug that affects pictures taken with certain Canon digital cameras. Should you run into any crashing situations with an earlier version, update to this and give it a spin. Do let us know if you have any questions.

Detailed changes…
