There have been a couple of recent topics on this subject so this is an attempt to provide a searchable topic. There are two ways to add a video to a Slide in the Slide List. 1. Drag and drop the video clip from the File List into the Slide List. The Duration of the Video Clip becomes the Full Slide Duration of the Slide created. The Video Clip is automatically assigned Main Object - Index 1. In the Timeline it is then possible to Right Click on the Slide and in the dropdown menu choose "Separate Audio from Video". The Audio is created in an Audio Track and (in the Pro edition of PTE) an envelope can be applied to control the volume of the clip. 2. In Objects and Animation for a Slide add the Video Clip via the Movie Icon. The Duration of the Video Clip is determine by the Full Slide Duration of the Slide. In Objects and Animation/Properties the Video Clip must be Manually assigned Main Object - Index 1 by ticking the Main Object Box. In the Timeline it is then possible to Right Click on the Slide and in the dropdown menu choose "Separate Audio from Video". NOTE Once the Audio has been extracted from the Video Clip it is no longer necessary to maintain the Main Object - Index 1 status. It is possible to Separate the Audio from multiple video clips on the same slide by using the procedure above. Add the multiple video clips to the slide. Assign Main Object - Index 1 to the first Video Clip and, in the Timeline, Right Click on the slide and from the dropdown menu choose "Separate Audio from Video". It is then possible to remove the Main Object status from the first video clip and assign it to the second video clip. Repeat the procedure to "Separate Audio from video". This can be repeated as many times as necessary. The Right Click dropdown menu will only apply to Main Object - Index 1. DG

One of my video editing programs had a transition like this (Polaroid border instead of equal border) but was not very smooth if you increase the transition time. I thought I could make something like it in PTE and so here it is. It uses a parent child mask to create the white border around the images. The background rectangle is set to 0% so you can use a background splitter object and your own images. It was a fun learning experience. Thanks, Tom Snapshot.pteeff

I agree, but it illustrates the fact that the highlighting of the file name is dependent on the Main Object status. Also, if you add images to blank slides it can be of use e.g. Blank slides with text. To say that you cannot highlight images added in O&A is not strictly correct and needs qualifying. No big deal.

Thanks Jill, i hadn't noticed the change in the file name but, as you say, it doesn't show duplicates or files added via O&A. I definitely think PTE is far superior to Proshow. You can certainly acheive a lot more & it's getting better all the time thanks to Igor & his team.

Hi guys, Thanks. I am working on an optimized (simple) version with both rectangle and circle masks. It keeps me busy on rainy days. Tom

Hi, Most of my things are just concepts so I know this could be improved by someone with more skills than me. I like how the one below spins between photos. Thanks, Tom This transition is what made me think I could create the same effect in PTE. This is supposed to be 60 fps but the transition seems to be less smooth.
