It would be very helpful to be able to "drop" a second image onto an existing slide from the main screen. Perhaps this could be done by using the Ctrl key so the image doesn't drop between slides into a new slide, but becomes a second layer onto an existing slide. Rather than having to add the second image via the O & A screen. Thanks for considering!

Hi Barry as I said above, you need to add your video in O&A to 2 or more Slides. Don't add the video in Timeline or Slide view The Slides - Still images need to be added to the Timeline as normal. The video (smaller than full size) is then added ontop of the still images, or the size of the still is reduced & the full size video set to be behind the still The duration of your video needs to be longer than the duration of at least 1 Slide. So if your video is only 8 secs then you need at least 2 slides where the first has a duration of less than 8 secs. The video will then continue to play into the 2nd Slide until it runs out. You would normally use Master Video where you have a much longer video that needs to play over several Slides. If as in your example above you simply want to repeat the video then just add it as narmal several times. Jill

How cool that looks! That's genius! +100 Thank you! That would be wonderful! And there is a working scheme, it seems to work correctly, does not interfere with the other functions.

Hello to all, In 2018 I posted a style simulating a tennis ball bounce effect with damping. The effect is directly configurable with the PTE interface. The style was created with PTE version 9 and it still works with version 11. In the project of this post, I also added a parameter on the PTE modifiers. I named it "Damping factor" with a value that can vary from -10 to +10. The value 0 has no particular effect and the modifier keeps its basic function. With a value >0 a damping effect is applied. With a value <0 an amplification effect is applied (not sure if this is useful). I think it is relevant that an additional Damping parameter could be added for each PTE modifier. For example on the third slide of the project, I used damping on an X-axis rotation oscillation modifier. Damping ratio.mp4 Pascal. Damping ratio_Jan23-2023_16-25-17.zip

You know it because you read these lines, PTE is an impressive software. Version 9 is really accomplished and has greatly facilitated the creation of custom styles and transitions. In the Objects and Animation window, when you copy an object you can obviously paste it into the list of objects. As you may have already noticed, if you paste the contents of the clipboard into a text editor, the description of the object and the settings of the animation appear "readable". You can easily change the values of the parameters in the editor then copy and paste in the list of objects in PicturesToExe to see a new modified object appear. What is surprising is that it is also possible to change the functions « add modify » : Oscillation, Jumping, Ping pong and Shift. All of these functions use the Amplitude, Repeat, and Phase Shift parameters. For fun, I wanted to simulate the movement of a ball that bounces with a progressive damping until the complete stop. For that I modified the Jumping function by adding the parameters Damping factor, Damping speed and fmod (frequency modulation). However, I do not advise to use this new function in a style (other than for fun), because I'm not sure that this possibility is sustainable with future versions of PTE.

Hello MUR, Yes absolutely, it's a good tip I used to generate many patterns that appear randomly. Pascal.

A little more information: All additional parameters (Damping factor, Damping speed and fmod) can be changed in Objects and Animation interface. So, you can easily change the behavior of the bounce. Regards, Pascal.
