I recently purchased a low cost N150 Win 11 Pro mini PC ($150) to replace my old i5 desktop PC that is non-upgradeable to Win 11. I was surprised how well PTE AV Studio 11 performed on the N150. Very low power requirements and no fan noise at 1920x1080 display resolution. If you need 4K display resolution then I would probably buy a more expensive mini PC with a faster DDR5 memory, iGPU, and CPU. For most people I don't think you need a full size desktop PC in 2025. https://www.gmktec.com/products/nucbox-g3-plus-enhanced-performance-mini-pc-with-intel-n150-processor Tom

Hey there fellow artists, I've created and uploaded some cool new concrete textures onto my website...you'll find them here: https://soundimage.org/txr-concrete-pavement-seamless/ Maybe useful for roads, buildings, statues, bridges. etc. CUSTOM WORK Does anyone need some custom one-of-a-kind textures created? Or custom music? You can contact me here: https://soundimage.org/custom-work/ As always, please stay safe and keep being creative! :-)

Thanks! We'll include transition in future V12.

Thanks Igor very nice.

Thanks Igor, Nice style

Great, Igor I'm guessing this new style will be one of the styles natively included in PTE Studio.

Thanks Igor.

Nice--thanks!

Hi, One new user asked me recreate a special style/transition effect. I share it with you. Slide style + demo: Demo - Zoom Out with Fade.mp4 Zoom Out with Fade.ptestyle

Happy April Everyone, I have a bunch of cool new LoFi music tracks to share on my Action 3 page. They are: WILD WEST COAST RACING 9_LoFi FUNKY RUNNIN’_LoFi WILD WEST COAST RACING 8_LoFi TRASH CAN WARRIORS_LoFi WILD WEST COAST RACING 7_LoFi DESERT HEIST_LoFi STARTING LINE_LoFi RED CONVERTIBLE_LoFi https://soundimage.org/action-3/ As always, they are 100% free to use with attribution. Enjoy, stay safe and keep being creative! :-)

The Split command that was suggested by tom95521 is an excellent suggestion. It would facilitate the removal of sections of a video. Using the Trim command to do so is awfully awkward. Thanks for your attention.

Brilliant use of photo changes. regards Alan

Hey Everyone, Another busy week, but I did manage to create and upload some new textures here: TXR – Bark – Seamless https://soundimage.org/txr-bark-seamless/ As always, my images are completely free to use in your projects with attribution, just like my music and sounds. OTHER HELPFUL STUFF: https://soundimage.org/ogg-music-packs-2/ https://soundimage.org/ogg-game-music-mega-pack/ I sincerely hope some of my assets are helpful! :-)

Hi Davegee, Barry Beckham does something similar which ended with an X effect, your approach i think I like a lot more, I now need to start learning how you did it, as you can tell I'm new to PTE AV Studio, I was much more effective with after effects and encore two programs I really enjoyed but sadly no longer have access to. Thanks for setting me on the right path. now I just have to knuckle down and do the studying. With many thanks Regards Trevor

Here's a different approach to Strips which does not use Masks. Please excuse the Background Add two 16:9 images to a 16:9 project and apply the Horizontal or Vertical version. Strips.ptestyle DG

Thank you so much, that is the effect I was going for, already working on the how the mechanic's work, sometimes the logic just wont show itself to me, either that or the grey matter is solidifying........... Thanks again davegee

Add a Blank 16:9 Slide to a Project and Apply this Style. Analyse the Strips 1-4 in O&A. Strips Tute.ptestyle DG

Unfortunately, in my case I didn't copy those 3 files. So I shall try manually installing each slide style.

Thanks Dave. I'm tying to emulate Bad Dancers "Elegant slideshow" where he has strips (masks ) that move to reveal parts of a photo, it's a good effect, will keep trying many thanks Trevor ( Stockport ) not that far from you

Add a Mask Object [PTE AV Studio] DG

He's right. Just after posting my last post I remembered about the styles.ini file and other ini files. Again in my case I have styles.ini in 7 different locations, probably from previous versions/installs. If you can read the ini file it basically ties together all of the weird named folders with data about what each does, author, etc.

Hi DG. I think you have solved my problem. No I did not include the 1st 3 items that you have highlighted. I guess there is no other solution other than trying to manually enter each slide style into PTE. I have 1600 of them. Thank you, Rosemary

Hi can/will anyone point me at a tutorial on using masks, I'm trying to remove a horizontal mask on one photo to reveal the second photo underneath, I just don't seem to get to work correctly hence the request for a PDF tutorial, I prefer a PDF because at my age it is easier to learn from the written word. Thanks Regards Trevor

Rosemary, When you created your backup of Styles Folders did you include the styles.ini file as shown below? Without it your backup is useless. DG
