I have downloaded the new 5.0 version. I do not see the menu bar with File,Edit,View,.... and Help when I open the PixPlay program. Any idea what might have happened to it?

Hi Dennis
Please download the software again.
A minor update we released should resolve the issue.

Hi Nigel,
Thank you and I will download again.
But, right now I have a project underway.
Will I lose it ?

No, just install the new version over the old one (without uninstalling) and you will be fine.

Sorry for what is probably a really basic question, but I cannot figure out the answer. I upgraded to V5, and I lost my transition default. While I use the same transition I do vary the timing for many frames, so I don't want to lose that. How do I reset it for the entire project? It currently just shows a question mark. Thanks.
Matt

Hi Matt
The question mark graphic is for the default transition. It was chosen because it choose an "unknown" transition from those available for the project. It is probably a little confusing given that a question mark in the project means a missing file...

Nigel: My problem is that I cannot seem to figure out how to (re)set default transition in my project (fade-out, fade-in). Since upgrading to v5.0 the transitions in my (lengthy) project are suddenly in some sort of random mode. I've gone into Edit-Slideshow properties to try and set one particular effect as the default (fade-out/fade-in) and it doesn't seem to have any effect. When I open up "Frame Properties" the project frames' individual "Display transition" time setting remains (I vary that length of time, but not the effect, in a number of frames) BUT it is grayed out and doesn't seem to be operative. And that question mark remains as default. What am I missing here? Thanks for the attention.

Hi Matt
In v5 if you have chosen the "Default Transition" option then it will use the effect and time as set for the project as a whole.
How about if you click Ctrl+A to select all of your files, then in the bottom right of the main window you assign "fade-out/fade-in" as the effect to all files.
