Hello everyone Best wishes for a safe and happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year. I have started creating an AV of my travels this year. I was aiming for one photo per week but did not quite achieve my goal. Most weeks I take hundreds if not thousands of photos depending on location and subject. I spent 6 weeks in Europe in April - June, so there are a few more from this trip to the other side of the world. The images are captured on a mirrorless camera, drone, mobile camera/phone and 360 camera. This may not be the final AV but it will be very close. Cheers Mark

Happy New Year to everyone. I hope 2026 brings us world peace and lots of photos to use in PTE 12. Rosemary

Happy New Year! May there be peace, prosperity, and good health for 2026!

Hello everyone Thanks for commenting and feedback on the previous version of this. I made some changes to the previous version, so if you have 5 minutes to spare, have a look at this version.

Happy New Year to all. Peace and health!

Happy New Year! I wish everyone health, happiness, and peace!

Important notes You can keep your existing version of PTE AV Studio 11.0 and use both versions together. We recommend to untick an option “Associate .pte projects...” when you install a Beta version. For new customers. If you purchase version 11.0 today or later, you'll get a free upgrade to a final version 12.0 when it's ready (in March, 2026). We continue to work on version 12.0 and plan to add new features and new slide styles before the final version. _________________________________________________ What's New in PTE AV Studio 12 Pro: Sound Object Create impressive slideshows and AV shows with impactful sound effects. The new Sound object lets you play short audio files to enhance your slideshows and AV shows. Add whoosh sounds for fast transitions, subtle clicks when images appear, or any other short audio effects that bring your slideshow to life. Adjust 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 Backup your projects 2-3 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. 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 P.S.

Hi, Please share your impressions of version 12.0 Beta. If you find any problem, please start a new topic for each one. Happy Christmas! Igor,

New transitions added in PTE AV Studio 12: Spots, Rotating Linear Wipe, Push Smooth Click to play video sample: New Transitions in V12.mp4

Absolutely love the sample project included with the new beta! Will be wonderful to explore many of the new features by going through those images and transitions. Much easier than aimlessly clicking buttons or printing out Igor's description sheet and looking for the updates. Great job and beautiful images, Barry Beckham! And I love the winking koala at the end! One of the changes that stands out to me so far is the ability to use a parent object to change the colors and opacity of it's associated children. Having to modify those settings for each one of those child images / objects in the past was a bit annoying.

Thank you so much for your congratulations! Igor, I wish you and the entire WnSoft team success and good luck in your endeavors, new endeavors, and victories! Happiness, joy, health, and love to your family and friends!

Hi, In PTE AV Studio 12 we added a new speed modifier - "Instant". It allows you to achieve an instant change of any animation parameter between 2 keyframes (without smooth interpolation).You can apply it to Pan, Zoom, Rotate, Opacity and other animation parameters. If you have 2 keyframes, add the "Instant" modifier to the 1st keyframe. Download a demo project: Instant Animation.zip Video example: Instant Animation.mp4 Screenshot:

I really want layer overlay effects in this program, at least Screen and the usual Bounce fade effect in modifiers.

Merry Christmas to you and your team Igor! Thanks for the early Christmas present! I look forward to working with this new exciting version!

I would like to thank Jill and others who quickly answer PTE queries and provide valuable insights to forum members. I know that I personally have gathered a greater knowledge of the program through her. Kieron

Thank you, Igor. I wish you and your team a Happy New Year. I’m looking forward to seeing what v12 has to offer.

Happy New Year! Merry Christmas! May this year bring joy, happiness, and fulfillment of your wishes! The slide has been compiled. In the latest version PTE.

Well, finally, we've finally got it! Thanks to Igor and the team for the pre-holiday surprise! I loved all the new features, each one is useful and improves the functionality of our favorite program! I especially appreciated the sound object, as it's been a long-awaited need. I think we'll get some interesting transitions with sound! I also really liked the ability to use video with keyframes, it's fantastic! I also really liked the RGB displacement effect (hello, glitches)! And you can definitely create something beautiful with the gradient map! Overall, thank you for your work! We'll try out all the new features and write more about them. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The 360-degree imagery requires a special application to make the videos which can then be further edited in PTE AV Studio. The original 360degree video cannot be edited directly in PTE. Glad you enjoyed them Mark

Thanks Kieron, always a pleasure to help. Jill

Hi Igor tested for me and it's OK

Tested and the problem is solved, thank you.

Hi, In PTE AV Studio 12, we've included a new function - Quick Search in the Slide Styles window and Transitions window. This allows you to quickly find or filter the desired transition or style by name, category, or author name. PTE AV Studio remembers your choice during the current session, independently for styles and transitions. You can hide the Quick Search bar in Preferences > Templates tab by unticking the "Search in styles and transitions" option.

Thanks to Igor and the whole team for the new version! I haven't yet figured out how to speed up and slow down video using keyframes. I'd be happy to see a tutorial on how to use this. I really like the AV1 format. The output file is about 1.5 times slower than MP4, but its size is twice (or more) smaller than H.264. Great! I wanted to ask if this version of the program will feature video looping (within a slide). We've been talking about this for a while now. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I wish you and the entire WnSoft team joy, happiness, love, health, and success in all your endeavors!

Hi Mary, Thanks for your wishes and response! We haven't yet updated Sample Project for the new effects in V12. It will be done later before the final version. Hi Aleina, Thanks for your first impressions on PTE 12 Beta! We hope to add more new functions and effects before the final version. Try new built-in transition "Spots". It uses a new Gradient displacement map effect added in V12. You can recreate the same effect in a custom transition or slide style. We added a new preset/template for a mask stencil - "Spots" (when you choose "Gradient map" mode. Setting "Width %" parameter around 1-5 in the Mask container object you can reach more sharp edges of this effect. Also I recommend to try a new modifier in Animation speed > Instant. It disables smooth animation of parameter (Pan, Zoom, Rotate, etc) between 2 keyframes.

Great year end summary. Interesting effects and even me, an old school "no special effect, just merge on into the other" liked them😊😊. I would have liked a screen text indicating where you are with each group of images. Two comments re the music: - Please fade it out at the end - Ordinarily I would have made the same comment as Alex55, I doubt if I would ever chose it. But here it didn't bother me. I suspect I was concentrating more on the images, as it should be. Thanks for the show

Hi Alex, like every year you've treated us to a really great activity. And a big thank you for sharing it every time. Wishing you very happy holidays!

360 degree images are what they call equirectangular (2:1 aspect ratio). In this instance they were captured with a dual fisheye camera for ease. The area I live in is just 2 hours from Brisbane and right on the coast of the Pacific Ocean so I have nature around me and the city not far away. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you! It's so diverse and yet so beautiful. I wish you a new year full of travel and wonderful experiences! I also really enjoy panoramic photography.

Thanks for the beautiful views. The timelaps are impressive. Do panoramic photos also look original, as far as I understand they have fisheye applied to them? The mix is also peculiar, a landscape with a wild coast turning into the facade of a skyscraper... Good luck in your creative work! I'm waiting for new jobs.

digartal, Thanks for the comment. I just like to draw. But sometimes I pick up a camera and a video camera, depending on the situation or mood. This is especially facilitated by the visit of the grandchildren.🙂

Mark, Nice stories. Sounds like you need some good music now. Don't forget to show us the final thing. Alex

Thanks for sharing this - very well done animations. I am more of a photographer that makes AV's than a digital creator that makes presentation but I can appreiate the work in creating this. Thank you again for sharing. Mark

Fabulous, great show, very well done. Best wishes to you and your family for safe, happy and festive Christmas. Mark

Thank you Alex for this beautiful Christmas show. Thank you for all that you contribute to this forum and for your generosity throughout the year. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours. Rosemary

Hello Alex, another beautiful and dynamic slideshow, as usual. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

very easy to do. Simply link those audio files to the slides you don't want. Then in Slide View delete the Slides, the audio files will be deleted along with the Slides. I would first move the audio clip on Track 2 to the right to roughly where you want it under Slide 6 Or you could delete those audio files from Track 1 first & then delete the 5 Slides. Again reposition Track 2 first Jill

Sort the images before importing by Date/Reverse order or Name. Apply the style to the images before or after importing. Publish as a video to view. Many newer cameras have a video timelapse option. Camera shutter speed should be 1/2 capture frame rate to add motion blur. If you capture at 5 second intervals the shutter speed should be 2.5 seconds. Thanks, Tom Update: Sep. 5 2025 Added 15 fps and 24 fps styles. Update Sep. 6, 2025 Added frame blending (dissolve transition) style for smoother video. Blending attempts to add synthetic motion blur but can create ghost images for fast moving objects. I also renamed regular version to quick. Update Sep 10,2025 Frame blending moved to another post in this thread. Timelapse Quick 30 fps.ptestyle Timelapse Quick 24 fps.ptestyle Timelapse Quick 15 fps.ptestyle

Hi everybody, Here's a another attempt to deal with all those family pictures.... Here's the Link:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oeh4F07uGqbmANaEvc1q456h8XXOK-TY/view?usp=sharing

Created styles from some geometric shapes in motion. Triangle, circle, square and some variations with them. Total there are 12 styles. The background can be changed at your discretion. Download styles: https://yadi.sk/d/jLBrhNVJgCzO1Q Enjoy viewing and using styles.

PTE AV Studio is available in two versions. Standard and Professional. One of the big differences between the two is how we approach sound editing. Here we look at our most common needs using the standard edition.
