PicturesToExe 4.20

+ AVI video output feature. Now you can produce your presentations as AVI video file and then (using special software) burn DVD-Video, VCD, or SVCD disc. (Please read chapter in the help about work with video output.)
+ Improvements in transition effects:
> Added new transition effect - "Advanced hour hand" (with variations). This effect has special "Offset" option for fine customization.
> Added new "Push" and "Slide" transition effects. We recommend to show these effects or quickly (500 ms.), or slowely (3,5 second and longer).
> Vastly improved quality of smoothing line in all effects. For existed projects please increase thickness from old 40 to 60 points.
> Vastly improved "Mosaic" transition effect (old name "Hot blocks"). This effect has new smooth view. Available 3 parameters for fine customization.(Note: with "Appearance:" parameter as 100 and "Parts:" 26 x 20 it works exactly as "Hot blocks" effect in previous versions of PicturesToExe.)
> Added "Show first transition effect from desktop" option (Project options | Screen tab)
> You can quickly select/deselect groups of effects clicking on title of effect (see Project options | Effects tab).
> Fade effect works on 20%-50% more smoothly now.
! Fade effect is turned on by default now (in Project options).
+ Improved synchronized mode of presentation. Now you can fully control presentation in this mode; go to any slide; use Navigation bar; Pause feature. To activate this mode set checked "Permit the control" (Project options | Main tab).
+ Vastly improved MIDI playback on old PCs (Pentium 150 - 400 Mhz).
+ New improvement in "Customize Synchronization" window:
> Added auto scrolling when you move transition point outside of visible part of time-line;
+ It's possible to adjust thickness of smoothline in the personal settings of a slide. (E.g. you can set 40 pixels of smootline for 1st slide and 80 pixels for 2nd slide).
+ Added customizable shadow for picture objects (Visual editor | "Properties" window of an object).
+ Improved Print function (in presentations). Picture or slide fits on full page now.
+ Added support for 32-bit .bmp images with alpha channel (for use as objects).
+ Added "Disable mouse wheel" option (Project options | Advanced tab).
+ Added .wma and .ogg support in sound comments for slides.
+ Various small improvements.
