    New user having trouble

    Hello,
    I installed Kook Moves 3 but the tools at the top look different then the manual diagrams. How do I make copies of frames? Please forgive my ignorance.

    KM 3 is very old and almost nothing like the current version. KM 5.1.7 is the current, you should upgrade asap.

    With divine intervention,,, anything is possible,,, except making KM3 into KM 5.1.7 lol.
    I'm amazed at how much it has changed in such a short time and also how much more complicated it is for us poor dumbos who only wanted to make silly banners about 3 years ago.

    That is what the basic interface is for -- people who just want to make simple banners.

    I can't at this time afford to spend anymore money. Plus, I never used this program & feel like I'd be wasting the money I spent for the one that I have now. Isn't there any place I can go to to learn version three? I tried using the help menu in the program itself, but as I mentioned, the diagrams don't match the interface of the actual program.

    It's me again. I went to the site & see that to purchase a full version it is $45. But it doesn't say anything about how much an upgrade would be. Also, if I get the trial version would I be allowed to save the slideshow & burn it to a DVD?

    No, there's little commercial software with a free upgrade for life policy. If you bought MacroMedia Flash mx years ago, you also can't expect to get 8 for free.
    The upgrade policy for KM can be found here
    http://www.koolmoves.com/upgrade_policy.html

    Unfortunately you are right it doesn't show upgrade prices. If I remember correctly there was a special upgrade price but I don't know if that goes for all older KM versions and how much it was. Bob may be able to tell you.

    Ah, that's where i'm getting confused. I only recently bought mine so would be why I had a free upgrade because i'll be fine until Jan 2007. Think it would be a good idea to put some sort of prices there even if it states that they are liable to change.

    There are different prices for different situations. The upgrade price from an internet purchase is $16.95. Some people got a free version on a magazine cover mount CD and that upgrade price may or may not be less. There are some other special situations as well.

    Even at 45$ it is worth upgrading. You'll be Macromoulding at less that 10% of the price. A Donf.

    Why don't you download the new trial version to a different folder to your 3.00 version (so you don't over write it) and try it for a week or so. If you know the old version you're going to absolutely flip over what the latest version can do.

    Yes, I would like to try the trial version first. Does anyone know if I will be able to burn a DVD from the trial version?

    KM has nothing to do with burning DVDs.

    You cannot save from the trial version it that is what you are asking.

    If one just downloaded from http://www.koolmoves.com ...
    Then I don't know how they could buy KM 3 recently.
    Since KM3 is a year or two old...
    Where did you get KM 3?
