GALLERY

This is the "community" function of Comixware, where you can access and view a gallery of movies posted by Comixware users from all over the world. This is also where you post and manage your own movies and share them with friends and family everywhere.

Gallery List

The Gallery pieces are listed chronologically in a scrollable window with the latest posting at the top. The listing numbers (on top of thumbnails) reflect such descending order, e.g., 20, 19, 18, 17, and so on. Each listing includes: a thumbnail of the movie (with listing number on top), title of the movie, author's name, the posted date and a "clapboard" symbol indicating whether the piece contains third party "user" assets. A white clapboard means NO, and an orange clapboard means YES. If the piece is password protected there is an additional "lock" symbol present next to the "clapboard". Otherwise there is no "lock" symbol on the listing.

Clicking on the thumbnail of a listing will have the piece 'selected' in the list and started downloading that movie to your local Timeline. Once downloaded, the listing number and the length of the movie will appear on the top of the Timeline (at far left next to a "movie clip" symbol). The movie's music track will also be reflected on the color of the 'sound' symbol.

If a movie is password protected, when you click on its thumbnail a password screen will come up asking you to enter the movie's password in order to gain access. If you know the password, enter it and the movie will start downloading into your Timeline. If you don't enter the correct password, you can't access that movie and no download occurs. A password protected movie is indicated by a "lock" symbol on the listing. That means the author of the movie wants the piece to be "private" for the eyes of intended audience only. If this is someone you know you may request the password by sending the author an e-mail from within Comixware. Simply click on author's name to go to the e-mail screen (see paragraph below).

You can do anything with the downloaded piece as you normally do to a movie: you can play it, compose it, save it and/or re-post it to the Gallery. (But please do not re-post other people's work without making significant modifications.) There is also an e-mail client for you to communicate with authors of those Gallery movies. Simply click on the "author" name of a listing to bring up the messaging screen for e-mail. Note that you don't see the actual e-mail address but the author's name appeared in the "Mail to" field. This is not a problem for mailing. The author's e-mail address is simply being "masked" for privacy and security consideration. Unless you want to send message to a different person (in which case simply replace author's name with an e-mail address), leave the author name unchanged and your message will get to the correct recipient. In addition, a bulletin board service is linked to the Gallery (the circled letter 'B' button) to facilitate further communication among Comixware users. The Gallery is a great way to display your work as well as to communicate with other users. Use it wisely and courteously.
