I've implemented it now myself and I'm already able to define groups of layers and move them Now, I only have to implement all your fancy move-FX stuff or do I find these movement-code-peaces in some of your examples?

No, but it's really easy. Just calculate a cosine wave in the range of [-Pi, Pi], stretch it on the y axis to the desired size and apply some speed mechanism.

Hollywood means a lot of fun! Thanks a lot. Unfortunately, my vacation is over and now i have to work again on other things .

Haha, I guessed that you must have been on vacation because you had so much time for Hollywood

yes, the move-in and move-out effects are maybe easy to implement. But all these ShowLayerFX-effects (for groups of Layers) unfortunately not. In fact, I think, it's not possible to implement them at all

Yes, true Unfortunately, I couldn't finish the hollywood stuff. Would have loved to give my next talk with the help of Hollywood The main thing, which is missing, is a latex-style math/formular thing Unfortunately, I need always a lot of math in my slides. The plan is, to write them in latex and convert them to png-images. Maybe the result is still good enough .. we'll see. But the next hollydays are far away

If you are trying to apply a transition effect to various layers at the same time, you can check out the documentation for AsyncDrawFrame(). See also the example "AsyncFX".

Have to check that in more detail. From the documentation, i see, that Layers may not be enabled during this method, right? Or does it mean, that you just can't switch the layer enable/disable-mode as long as the AsyncDrawFrame()-method is active but in general, layers can be enbaled?

Another thing is, that it looks, that AsyncDrawFrame() can only be applied to one object. I don't see, how you could have the same effect on a group of objects?

Thanks, Tom

Layers work with this function just fine. Again, view the "AsyncFX" example.
