Fantastic, well done !

We found a solution for the hardware encoder on Mac running macOS 15 Sequoia. I hope to build the updated version tomorrow or on Monday.

That is a great solution. Thanks, Tom

Tom, I've thought about this topic. The Logo is one of several possible parameters which can customized for every video clip individually: color adjustments, size, background, etc. If the user merges several video files into one and wants to set some common parameters (one or several), the simplest way is to select these video clips in the Slide List (with the mouse cursor) and apply group editing of the desired setting. For example, choosing the Logo. Then the Logo will become common for this group of video clips.

I think Barry Beckham's YouTube video may give you the solution.

Hi Tom, Thanks, we'll do this.

I notice when I merge videos the logo I added to first slide only is added to selected slide. Maybe add option to add Logo to all slides. Thanks, Tom Mac Optimizer beta 4

Hi, Beta 4 is available. For Windows: https://files.wnsoft.com/ptevideooptimiser/ptevideooptimiser-setup.exe For Mac: https://files.wnsoft.com/ptevideooptimiser/PTE-Video-Optimiser.dmg I recommend to uninstall previous Beta version and then install the new Beta 4. Activate it with a free public license key for the Beta versions: C1UBM-LMFBG-JGJME-2UJ89-MK7J4 Changes in Beta 4: Encoding AV1 video on Mac with Apple Silicon is much faster. Fixed an issue with an error message on replacing the existing file. Fixed an issue with the Merge All Files function on Mac. Improved translations: Dutch, French and German.

This issue should be solved in Beta 4.

Hi Denis, We updated the translation for Brightness parameter in Beta 4 today.

I had this situation in Windows 10. I put together a slide and output a video at 30 frames per second. The video in the video editor was played jerkily, slowed down. I looked at the slide and nothing helped. I brought up a 60 fps slide. And the video started playing normally. Without jerks and delays. I often make complex slide shows. And they are played in PTE with difficulty.

Do you add iPhone's video to a project, create a new MP4 video (Hardware Accelleration is unticked), and play the created video on Apple TV, right? It should play smooth, because PTE's video encoder works independently (autonomously) from any changes in macOS. If the created video play smooth in QuickTime player on your Mac, it also should play smooth on your Apple TV. Just in case, I'll clarify that you need to choose "60p" option in video output for the better smoothness, not 25p or 30p. 2. Also I recommend open the Sample Project (from the main menu > Help menu > Open Sample Project), produce a MP4 video. HW option is unticked. Then then compare smoothness - on your PC and then Apple TV.

I cannot confirm this; unticking Hardware acceleration does not fix my problem with stuttering iPhone video's.

I discovered a similar issue with another app Handbrake on Mac: It seems that Apple has changed something in the work of hardware encoder in macOS 15.1. I see that Handbrake developers found a solution. We'll learn their code. UPD. I think that unticked the Hardware acceleration option should completely solve this issue as a workaround.

Hi, I merged both topics into this one. I confirm this issue with V11 when using "Hardware acceleration" option, even with the latest Beta version. Please give us some time to explore this issue.

I have similar problems, see this topic https://www.pteavstudio.com/forums/topic/46442-stuttering-video-playback-problem/ I just installed v11.0.15 (Apple Silicon) Build 2 and did some publish tests. The published show contains a short iPhone video and some cropped pans over a hires still image. test 1: 1920 x 1080, 60fps, hardware acceleration enabled test 2: 1920 x 1080, 60fps, hardware acceleration disabled test 3: 3840 x 2160, 60fps, hardware acceleration enabled test 4: 3840 x 2160, 60fps, hardware acceleration disabled I watched the results both on my MacBook Pro (Quick Time player) and on Apple TV (infuse media player) On test 1 and test 3 (hardware acceleration enabled) the results are bad: the iPhone video is very jerky and also the pans are not smooth but have a small (but irritating) stuttering. On test 2 and test 4 (hardware acceleration disabled the results are much better but not ok yet. The iPhone video is still jerky but the pans are perfectly smooth. The 4k version is a bit better than the 1080p version. BTW, I am on MacOS Sequoia 15.1.1 (24B91)

Is it possible to set a short (10-second) video to automatically repeat as the Master Video track?

I just noticed the other topic concerning this problem: https://www.pteavstudio.com/forums/topic/46348-sequoia-problem-video-not-smooth/ I will also try the new beta build and post my results there.

I have a problem creating stutter-free video presentations using PTE AV Studio. This is my situation: I am using PTE on my MacBook M1 Pro to create a video from various media sources such as iPhone photos (HEIC) and video clips (1080p 25 and 30fps) and “real camera” (Sony A7III) footage, also photos and video clips. My goal is to create a HD or 4k video that can be played on my LG tv, using an Apple TV media player. The problem is that when I create a presentation using PTE’s publish HD and 4K video, the result is a mp4 file that has stuttering issues. The stuttering is most severe on some iPhone videos the are included in the presentation, but is also visible on hires still photos from the Sony camera when panning a cropped portion of the photo. I have tried lots of combinations of resolutions and frame rate settings, but the stuttering will not go away. It does not matter if I play the presentation on the Apple TV, a Windows PC (using VLC) or the MacBook (QuickTime player). If I use the “Convert/Trim video clip” command to process the videos before importing them, the stuttering gets even worse. I get the best results when publishing as “Video for Mobile Devices”. Then the stuttering is still visible on the included iPhone videos, but the panned hires photos are perfectly smooth with no stuttering at all. Also when previewing the presentation inside PTE or publishing as “Show for Mac” and using the PTE AV player for playback the result is perfect, even the included video’s do not stutter at all. However, the PTE AV player is not available for Apple TV. Are these stuttering issues a result of my setup or could there be a problem inside PTE’s publish code?

Today we improved a work of PTE AV Studio 11 on Macbook's screen with the notch. The updated Beta is uploaded. The About window shows v11.0.15 Build 2. It should be the final stable version.

Can you check again - the About window in PTE AV Studio should display v11.0.15 Build 1 - this new Beta version. Just to make sure that you use the necessary version. Please open the Sample Project (from the main menu > Help > Open Sample Project). Create a MP4 video and check on your Apple TV. Can you also compare 1080p and 4K videos.

hi, I downloaded the indicated version but the videos created on my mac have the same problem. I hope you make it

(I'd like to see an example of what the short screen times but long transitions look like.) +1

Hi, Thanks for your suggestions! We added VU meter and sound volume for a track or global soundtrack to our TODO list. I agree that these functions are important. Jean-Charles also asked me about VU meter feature recently.

Thanks Igor. This is exactly what I need, and be sure I understand that this is not a high priority as it must concern very few users.
