Two problems with Photo to Movie slideshow program.

1. A couple of months ago I bought Photo to Movie and downloaded version 4.7.4.1.

Now when I boot-up the program it automatically informs me that ver. 4.7.4.2 is available and to click on the box to download.

When I do that, it seems to start downloading but then a window pops up and says:

"An error occurred while installing the update. (version) Please try again later or visit the website and download the update direcly."

I've tried that and that does not work either.

Does anyone know what can I do to get version 4.7.4.2?

2. In general P2M does a very good job in making slide shows.

However, I've learned that when exporting from P2M to create the .mov file, I should not use any kind of "filter," in particular a "tint" in the filter portion of the export settings.

If in exporting from P2M I add a tint, the tint effect will remain fixed with the project and it is impossible to remove for future exports of that P2M project. I have tried deleting ".plist" files and deleting the program and reinstalling the program but the tint effect remains.

I finally solved the problem by creating a new P2M project, opening the tinted project, and then copying the entire time line of clips from the tinted project to the new one. I then saved the new one under a new name.

Does anyone know anything about this oddity?

Thanks!
