Hi, We've already implemented 2 improvements in V12 Beta: 1. You can create a backup of a project in ZIP archive (or project template) that links files (images/audio/video) with the same file name (duplicate names) but in different folders. 2. Smart ZIP compression. Archive creation is now 3-5 times faster. We'll soon add support for creating project ZIP archives larger than 2 GB.

Hi Frans, I recommend to use "Quality" mode in PTE AV Studio and choose the "High quality" preset (100% in Custom mode). This is the best choice for all types of content - animated slideshows or dynamic video footage. Video encoder automatically allocates bitrate, assigning high bitrate to dynamic scenes with video footage (or animated pictures) and low bitrate to static photos. The automatically calculated bitrate can vary from 0.7 Mbit to 60 Mbit. For example, the Sample Project at 1920x1080 (HD), 60p has an average bitrate of 8.6 Mbit. You don't waste bitrate unnecessarily - it increases only where needed, maintaining constant visual quality. This is similar to saving a JPEG file when you specify the desired compression quality, for example "9". The file size will differ depending on the complexity of the image details and its dimensions. If you still prefer to set the bitrate manually, use these values as a guideline: HD (1920 x 1080), 60p: 4-8 Mbit - for animated images 10-16 Mbit - for mixed content or dynamic video content 4K (3840 x 2160), 60p: 15-30 Mbit - for animated images 40-60 Mbit - for mixed content or dynamic video content Also avoid hardware encoders for best quality. Important note: Bitrates from video files recorded by professional cameras or smartphones should not be used as a reference. They use simplified hardware encoders (works in real time) that don't utilize bitrate as efficiently, so manufacturers compensate by significantly increasing the bitrate.

I don't think there is a special option

Hi Igor just tested and now the volume of the sounds effects is correct. Good

The new Sound object lets you play short audio files to enhance your slideshows and AV shows. Choose from our built-in Sound Library with camera shutters, clicks, page turns, and whooshes - or import your own custom audio files. Add whoosh sounds for fast transitions, subtle clicks when images appear, or any other short audio effects that bring your slideshow to life. Adjust sound volume for individual video clips and sound objects with precision. Voice Recording on Mac Mac users can now record voice-overs directly in PTE AV Studio without external tools. Slow-Motion and Video Speed Control Take complete control over video playback. Adjust video speed using key points - speed up, slow down, or freeze the action exactly where you need it. Insert pauses inside your video clips to emphasize key moments. The new frame interpolation creates smooth slow-motion effects by blending frames together, eliminating jerky playback when slowing down your footage. Modern Video Formats and AV1 Encoder Create content for social media and the web. PTE AV Studio 12 adds full support for vertical video (9:16 for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels) and square format (1:1 for Instagram posts). New resolutions including 2560x1440, 1080x1920, 720x1280, and 1080x1080 cover all modern platforms. The "Auto" resolution preset automatically matches your project settings for quick exports. The revolutionary AV1 encoder produces videos up to 50% smaller than H.264 while maintaining the same visual quality - perfect for web publishing. The improved Video Export interface with "Show/Hide Advanced Options" keeps things simple yet powerful. The "Fast decode (web)" option creates optimized videos for quick loading and playback on your website. You can even pause video encoding and resume later. New Creative Effects Bring your slideshows to life with stunning visual effects. The Dynamic Gradient map creates color transformations and artistic looks. Chromatic Displacement map adds glitch effects and distortions for modern, eye-catching visuals. The Instant speed modifier disables interpolation between keyframes for snappy, precise animations. Blur and Unsharp mask can now be adjusted separately for parent and child objects. Quick Search. New Slide Styles and Transitions Find the perfect slide style or transition instantly. Type a keyword and PTE AV Studio will show you matching results immediately. No more scrolling through hundreds of options - just type "zoom", "push" or "fade" and get what you need. New transitions: Spots, Push Smooth, Rotating Linear Wipe. New slide style: Zoom Out with Fade. Faster Project Backups & 2 GB+ ZIP Support Backup your projects 3-4 times faster! The Create Backup in ZIP command now supports multiple files with the same name in different folders. Save precious time when archiving large projects with hundreds of high-resolution images and video clips. Added support for creating ZIP archives of projects larger than 2 GB. Other Improvements Export Slides to Images can now include transition effects Improved audio/video synchronization and smoother playback for variable frame rate videos HDR video support (Rec.2020 and HLG color spaces) Smaller executable show files (reduced by 3 MB) Transition group expand/collapse state is now remembered Improved interpolation between keyframes for long panoramas when using the Smooth modifier or other speed modifiers. Added hardware decoder for AV1 videos (Windows only). Requires graphics cards from 2020 or newer: NVIDIA RTX 3050+, AMD RX 6000+, Intel Arc or 11th Gen+ integrated graphics. P.S. Click the "Follow" button at the top of this page to receive notifications about new Beta releases.

Beta 5 is available See the download links above. Added support for creating ZIP archives of projects larger than 2 GB. Sound library: improved audio volume consistency. Fixed an issue where video export would freeze when a project contains a trimmed video object. Updated Dutch, French translations.

Hello, for a future advent calendar for my club, I created this example of a spiral-bound calendar. I think this might answer a question that was asked. What do you think? Calendrier à Spirale.mp4

I'd suggest waite a little while we checking another issue of the slow closing the Slide Options window. These issues may be related.

Works perfect. Lightning fast. Adding of e.g. "_2" to the duplicate e.g. picture name "IMG_3010.JPG" resulted in name of duplicate "IMG_3010_2.JPG" "We'll soon add support for creating project ZIP archives larger than 2 GB." Great!

Hi Mary, Thanks for sending me the sample video file and project! I've reproduced the issue with freezing on video encoding and strange speed. We'll check the code.

I moved several recent posts regarding integration of PTE Video Optimiser and PTE AV Studio to a new topic: https://www.pteavstudio.com/forums/topic/52710-why-is-video-optimiser-still-a-separate-tool/

Transitions Broken Glass with Sound V.12 Camera Transitions_V12 Hi everyone, these are transitions I've modified for the new version of PTE 12 with sound; I'm leaving a link in case you want to try them. https://javier-pteavstudio.blogspot.com/

Oh yes, it"s a very good idea (especially the number of slides)

Hi, As he had promised me, Santa Claus brought me a small gift: a blocks set . You will find a style (made with and for PTE9) to play with me, with 7 horizontal images (1920x1080 pixels for example). In the unzipped folder you'll find : "Explanations Blocks set" (. doc or .pdf, it's the same thing.) - A Black Background.jpg, In fact a completely black image. - Most important: the style file, Blocks set.ptestyle To sumarise : - Drag and drop 6 images of 16/9 horizontal format (for the six faces of the cubes) into the editing table. - Then drag and drop a seventh horizontal image - the same format (in principle 16/9) as the screen. (It is mandatory) This image will be seen in the background of the screen. - (Import, the first time, the style) Apply the style. Add salt, pepper, condiments and other spices... Please, excuse my english mistakes And sorry, I'm not able to put here an exemple. Too heavy (9 Mo), but I think you could see it there : http://diapositif.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=42012 Blocks set style.zip

Hi, Thank you for your kind comments, Lin, Judy, Barry, Nelson, Bert, Tom, MUR, et merci Pascal. I'm glad you like it. But it is PTE (and Igor) that deserves praise for all its beautiful possibilities and accuracy Kinds regards - Jean-Cyprien
