Hi friends, I want to make a comparison of work in the Proshow Producer and PTE AV programs again. For example, I chose a project that I initially did for Proshow Producer. But I have long wanted to do it for PTE AV, since it demonstrates the wonderful animation capabilities of the program well. This project uses only 3 gifs and no footage at all. (Although in PTE I would have managed without gifs. I was just lazy, since I already had gifs). All animation is done using png images and several sprites. Working with animation in this program is much more convenient and I improved many processes. It is much more convenient that you can link layers without complex manipulations. This is very important in character animation, since there are many separate elements of one character. And each element is animated separately. But all this should be a single whole. Also, various special effects, such as bursting soap bubbles or glittering stars, are conveniently made with sprites. I also really like working with sound in PTE AV. Many sound effects make the video more interesting. In Proshow Producer, I had big problems adding sounds. There is a limit on adding 1 sound per slide. And if more than 1 sound is needed? I had to convert sounds to mp4 and add them as video files, setting their visibility to 0. And there was often a desynchronization with sounds. In PTE AV, I added more sounds than in the original, finally I was able to implement all my ideas! I invite you to watch. Can you guess which of the pictures are gifs? If you are interested in the project, the link for purchase is given under the YouTube video. Aleina.

I think you meant to thank macian but I will be happy to take some thanks as well When I started using PTE about 4 years ago I was moving from using MemoriesOnTV which was very simple and intuitive and got pretty decent results. When the developers abandoned that program I discovered PTE. There is not as much intuitiveness to the program but it is extremely powerful and there are a number of more serious folks here who have really mastered all of the goodies. I am only an occasional user but learned a bunch by watching the various tutorials made by Barry Beckham.

Over the last few days we have had a cyclone hovering off the coast so it allowed me to spend some time on this project. A series of images captured at HOTA (Home Of The Arts) on the Gold Coast. The images were taken on Sinday March 2. Ironically the area was engulfed by the cyclone from March 5 and the famous Gold Coast (plus surrounding areas) badly eroded due to enormous seas. Captured with a Sony A7RV and 8 mm fisheye lens. The building design in very linear and 5 storeys high and amazed what impact the fisheye lens had on the images. Mark

Interesting perspective on an interesting building Hope the Gold Coast recovers quickly

Hello everyone: A few years ago I started a project based on the Raven Test to work with students in class. This test allows us to measure abstract thinking skills, ability to solve new problems, observation skills, reasoning and analogies. Although the features of PicturesTo Exe do not allow me to add up and track all the answers, I still wanted to use this great program to take advantage of other good options it has. The project has a "guide" button where I detail a little more what the Raven Test is and what it consists of. And there is a hidden button on the top left of the main screen that can be of great help to solve the 60 questions of the test. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zbrSFZ3GgOhj-NMUAZ75tu6TYCiyqLzH/view?usp=sharing Sorry, the download link was restricted. Everything is now solved. Raven Test.mp4

Hi Phil, If you are ripping music from a cd then use CDEX, it is free. You can rip to WAV or MP3 If you have an MP4 then use PTE to extract the audio from it. Jill

Hi, We plan to include voice recording on Mac for version 12.0. We're currently testing this feature. For some reason manual choice of a microphone inside the application is very complicated in macOS. So we decided to use the default microphone, it can be changed in System Preferences of macOS.

Much easier just to reinstall Otherwise depends which version of Windows you are on as they all have a slightly different procedure. I am on Windows 10 & it is - Settings - Apps - Default Apps - Choose default applications by file type Then scroll down to find .pte on the left & select PTE AV Studio on the right (if it doesn't show then click on Choose a Default) Hope this helps Jill

Just as Mary posted, there is an 'early-bird-85-off' for the Melodie Music site. I wondered how long it would last. Here is their reply: "If anyone in the group is interested in purchasing a Melodie lifetime deal at the currently discounted prices, they can do so via this unique link (please feel free to share): https://melod.ie/lifetime-early-bird-85-off This promo will be available via that link for at least the next few weeks.
