Hi All

Just had to share – A client sent in a screen shot to help us resolve an issue. It was hard not to notice his screen is HUGE. I mentioned it to one of our design team and the jokes started flowing – write him and admit that his is bigger than yours etc…

Anyway now I have serious ‘screen envy’ – thanks.

Cheers

ps We did resolve the issue by the way

Hi Everyone

Click here to read a PDF (6.3MB) we wrote for the original private beta testing group to introduce them to Remix’s main functions. It was the only “help” we gave them – a test of PJ’s intuitiveness or their ingenuity, take your pick!

The screen shots are a bit out of date now, but it’s still a good quick and dirty intro.

Hi Everyone – we thought it might help to get some of our basic concepts straight. Hope it helps…

We use the words Projects, Products, Events, Clients and Exports in a very specific way in PJ. We work on Projects, which consist of four linked components: Clients, Events, Products and Exports:

We shoot an Event (eg a wedding) for our Clients (eg the bride and groom), who buy Products (eg albums).

Why do we use words like Event and Product instead of “wedding” and “album”? Because they’re more generic. Not all Events are weddings, and not all Products are albums.

You can’t create a new Product (let’s say an album) directly. First, you must link it to both a Client and an Event. The reason for that is we’re building a database where all your work will reside, and so the Project Browser can keep track of it for you, as the following screen shot shows.

We have shot four Events for the same Client (Sarah and Graham). The five Products we can see in the third panel (three albums and two slideshows) all relate to the highlighted Event – their wedding.

Your Products in turn have Exports.
For example, the Exports from an album design are the orders and image files that you export and either:
• Save to your hard disk, or
• Send to your album vendor and lab for manufacture.

The Export from a Slideshow is the QuickTime movie file saved on your hard disk.
You can navigate directly to all the Products and Exports related to a particular event from the Project Browser or the Events Window.
