Where’s the sound of your melodic voice?

@bentacular My melodic (and angelic) voice left me near the end of the 70’s :sob:

Let me know if you want me to read your script with a French accent

That’s odd
 Morgan Freeman made me the same offer a couple of days ago :slight_smile:

Sounds expensive

Nicely done - thanks. I’ve not played with the adjust channel:alpha filter before; clearly it is time to do so!

Oui, je l’avais ratĂ© aussi.
Ce filtre “Alpha Channel: Adjust” est malheureusement trop mĂ©connu. Je viens de m’apercevoir que l’on peut faire de mĂȘme sur une forme (rectangle, ellipse 
)
Merci @Musicalbox

Yes, I had missed it too.
This “Alpha Channel: Adjust” filter is unfortunately too little known. I just found out that you can do the same on a shape (rectangle, ellipse 
)
Thanks @Musicalbox :+1:

Oh, do I wish there were a voiceover on this explaining what you are doing. I simply don’t learn easily by watching silent videos of a mouse cursor. La voix, Bredoteau, la voix! :slight_smile:

You can turn the subtitles ON
 maybe that will help.

Perhaps with growing AI tools, he might like to use one as a voiceover in the future.

You never know what’s gonna happen :slightly_smiling_face:
