Quick Start Guide

[Mr_P]

A few comments without going in to massive detail:

page 3 -
Not a good idea to keep catalyst in the applications folder amongst everything else.
Better to be in its own sub-folder - then it is easier to find all the settings files that go with your show.

- should include part about selecting number of layers in preferences - sometimes 32 layers and mixes gets a bit confused.

- page 11 - should mention about mixes... not all shows run with full screen...

- page 13 - credit to SNP for the text thanks... straight out of one of my emails - not from any official catalyst manual...

good start... many have tried and given up!!..
needs a bit more detail...

Thanks Simon, I agree and this was the type of feedback I was hoping for.

Never knew Catalyst shouldn't be in Applications. So, I should just keep it in a folder on the desktop?

Ill definitely add the layers selection in preferences, great idea.

As for the mixes, I'm kind of on the fence with that one. I want this to be informative and basic. In my opinion, if someone understands the mixes part of Catalyst then this guide I have going on won't help them any. The calls I get on a regular basis are people asking how to get something playing on Catalyst. Really people that don't understand what they're doing. So I was hoping this would get them started.

So far people are digging it so ill definitely keep it going. Ill make a few revisions to this one and then start creating a more advanced one. Any suggestions on what I should cover in the advanced version? Definitely mixes, definitely PixelMad. Any other suggestions?
