picture slide show ?!
Hello!
I'm new to this forum and to this avs stuff.
I was wondering how a picture slide show can be made.. .it would be cool to do such a thing and change the pictures on beat.
I want to make an "on beat slide show" for a dj and winamp has the potential.
I suppose it's a stupid question and can be made easy:) Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Purely theoretically it can be done, but realisticly.. no. You can't.

Technical details:
AVS wasn't designed to work with images. AVS does support them, sure, it supports video's aswell, but all on a very limited basis.
In AVS, an image loading component can only load one image, not an entire directory.
This means that if you have 14 images, you'd have to instruct each image to show up when all the other 13 don't.
Then, if you'd want to add a new (15th) image, you'd have to modify all the other images too not to show up when the other 14 images are shown... etc

I understand this feature is limited, but if you give me an example that works with only 2 differnt images, I can carry on from there; thx for the reply

there was elvis's war preset which used the avi.ape but that chose a random frame from an avi file every beat or two if i remember properly.
