This month --- Great New Transitions

A constant request that I get is "Why can't we use that program, you know, that can be used for doing presentations on both the Mac and Windows". The answer is, of course, "it's not Ministry licensed, but have you looked at Hyperstudio".

With Hyperstudio 4, if you haven't looked lately, you're doing yourself a real disservice. In addition to all of the functionality that has always been there, Hyperstudio 4 adds a great deal more.

The biggest request for presentation mode has always been the desire to have more transitions from one slide to another. Did I say slide? Sorry, I meant to say card. Slides are done in that, you know, other software package.

The developers with Hyperstudio 4 have now included some really professional looking transitions to enhance the change from one card to another. Instead of things like Rain and Dissolve and Fade to Black, look to the new program for new transitions like "Wipe", "Slide", "Radial", "Push", "Implode", "Gradiant Wipe" and "Explode". Once you have selected the transition, make sure that you also check out the "Settings" button. Many controls over direction, speed, and special effects add all kinds of neat things to your transitions.

In fact, with all these new features, you may even forget about, you know.
