    Default filmstrip with mould tool

    hello,
    I try to make a wavy filmstrip with the help of the mould tool but everytime the image falls apart in 4 separate parts.

    I have no idea what I'm doing wrong and how I can best accomplish this task. I want to make a wave from left down to right up with one or two waves in it.

    Thanks,
    Wicky

    Hello Wicky,

    Select all the items in your image, click the mold tool and select the default envelope, and then edit your image to your liking.

    Also do a search or look in the brush forum for a film strip brush!

    Just something about the use of moulds (and specially pasting moulds)

    And something else concerning the use of brushes for warping bitmaps

    Hey Joel (or anybody else),

    I'm working with P&GD11 and can't get the end points or control handles to appear.
    I have attached the XARA file of my filmstrip. Well, I tried but who would have thought that a forum dedicated to Xara uses would not allow uploading *xar files? Oh well, I exported it as a png and placed it here, even though the description below is fairly clear in my opinion.Click image for larger version.

    I made it by creating a black rectangle with lots of white rectangles in it, which I sliced out of the rectangle. Then I place the scaled pics behind the filmstrip and grouped it.
    I tried converting it to bitmap to see if I could get the control handles to appear, but no.
    Once again, P&GD is simply not intuitive, you simply have to learn the procedures the way Magix wants it done, not the way a long time Windows and CorelDraw thinker would do it. Sigh.

    Please help?

    David
