PSG v2 panning question

Robert said:

I don't mind all the other features (well, mostly , but can
anyone tell me whether PSGv2 will have the ability to define
different motion paths for each image (that you want to pan), and
if so, is that path linear only or some spline?

If the answer is yes (by someone who knows then I'm happy to
shell out for PSGv1.3 right now and wait for the upgrade, otherwise
I'm going to have to continue (I can't believe I would still have
to) using GlobFX Composer...

Thanks

Thanks very much Jason! That's just what I was looking for. It's a
pity they haven't gone the extra mile and done splines or other
path creating method. Still, individual straight lines at any angle
is much better than the (still being developed!) opposition.

Its a great start. I believe that most people are only interested
in a little motion to add visual appeal to their slideshows. Maybe
in furture versions they will add the ability to define a custom
path, but for now I will be very happy with just the regular
pan/zoom straight line motion effect.

I currenly use Vegas, which
does let you move the photo where ever you want to, but its a pain
to do lots of photos with this software. MOTV is pretty good but
lacks many of the features of PSG and IMHO the quality is much
better with PSG.

I looked at MOTV, but it was squarely aimed at CD/DVD market rather
than creating an AV for club/personal/web use.

I usually use only fades for images, despite the plethora of other
options designed to detract from the actual image itself IMHO. The
best fades I've seen are in picturetoexe. However, while I like the
creation of exe's and the fades, I don't like the workfflow and the
lack of panning/zooming inside the program. I suppose I'd like a
marriage of GlobFX and PTE, perhaps with some of the new PSG
features (although I haven't seen them). Maybe the new PSG will be
that...

BTW, do you know whether the price increase for v2 is likely to be
in the order of $10 or less (currently $59), or more? Any
speculation?

Thanks
