Taking advantage of the new transition editor in Pte AV Studio 12, which saved a lot of time when creating them, I made 20 transitions, each approximately 10 seconds long. In this case, the slide has a duration of 9.90 seconds, the same as the transition. I'm including a link in case anyone wants to try them. https://javier-pteavstudio.blogspot.com/2026/06/particles-transitions.html

Hi, In PTE AV Studio 12 we've added a new "Blending" mode to the Mask container with support for 9 blend operations: Linear Dodge (Add), Subtract, Multiply, Screen, Lighten, Darken, Overlay, Hard Light, and Soft Light. To use: place the first image into the Stencil, and the second image into the Content of the Mask container. You can add video, text object, rectangle object, or multiple objects (several images, for example). Watch a video example. Click the play button: BlendMode.mp4 BlendMode.zip

The Online Help for Version 12 has been updated in line with the "What's New in Version 12" posted by Igor: https://docs.pteavstudio.com/en-us/12.0/v12_wn/main Links have been added to each paragraph as appropriate. There is obviously more work to do but the OH is an ongoing and evolving document and if anyone wishes to contribute it will be hugely appreciated by the PTE community. "How to" articles are largely driven by Forum Posts for which there is no obvious answer in the OH and these will continue to be added when they arise. DG

Hi, Release Candidate 1 for PTE AV Studio 12 is available today, and the final version is scheduled for release within a week. P.S. Today marks exactly 27 years since the release of version 1.0 on July 2nd, 1999.

Version 12 of PTE AV Studio introduces a new effect mode: Gradient Map, applied to a Mask Stencil. This mode makes it possible to create dynamic visual effects using a grayscale image as a control mask. A preset called Spots is included, with fully customizable parameters. I am offering a tool that generates grayscale images specifically designed to be used as control masks for the Gradient Map effect. This generator creates images made of gradient‑based bands and provides control over the following parameters: - band structure (number and orientation) - grayscale gradient ranges (start/end values + modes) - wave distortions (sine or triangle) - natural perturbations (Perlin noise) - reproducibility (seed) - high‑definition image export This tool therefore helps expand the library of available masks for PTE AV Studio 12. The interface is originally in French, but a language selector on the web page allows you to translate it into another language. The translation may not always be perfect, but it should help you understand the meaning of the parameters. Here is the link to the tool, the parameter description page, and a demonstration showcasing several example masks generated with it: - parameter description link : https://diaporashop.com/generateur-de-bandes-en-degrade-gris/ - direct link to the generator tool : https://diaporashop.com/bandes-en-degrade-gris/ I hope you find this tool useful. A video demonstration of the results achieved: Pascal.

Testing...

Hi, In PTE AV Studio 12 hold the Shift key while dragging a sound volume keypoint in the Timeline to adjust it with finer precision - the keypoint moves 3x slower than your mouse cursor, giving you 3x better accuracy when fine-tuning the value. Watch a video demonstration. Click the play button: audio-keypoints-with-shift-key.mp4

It would be great if you could get Barry Beckham to make some Tutorial videos for this new release!

This is the same video with 2 different edits to show how you can reframe a 360 degree video after capture.. It needs to be edited in special software provided by the drone company.

Hello forum, here is the slideshow reworked in English about the garden of Carmen del Campillo in Crevillente province of Alicante in Spain

Hi, In PTE AV Studio 12, we fully rewrote the interpolation algorithm between keyframes - it has greatly improved the smoothness of speed modifiers over long time intervals. For example, if you use a speed modifier ("Smooth") to create a long panorama (20 seconds) with a fast pace of movement, V12 demonstrates a smoother beginning and ending for the animation than V11. At slow panning speeds, there is no noticeable difference between V11 and V12. LongPanorama.zip

Hi, We're releasing PTE AV Studio 12 for all users on Windows and macOS: https://www.pteavstudio.com/forums/topic/55186-pte-av-studio-120/ It's the same build as Release Candidate 2, published last Friday. Thank you very much for your help with testing the Beta version!

Happy birthday, my beloved PTE! Wishing you long life and prosperity!

Hi, We plan to release the final version 12.0 in a week. Now we're updating the translations of the interface into other languages.

In the warmth of a mid-afternoon sun, aplatypus glides effortlessly through a creek in northern New South Wales. Barely disturbing the mirrored surface, it weaves between submerged branches and over sandy shallows, its sleek brown fur glistening whenever it rises for a quiet breath. Shafts of sunlight dance across the water as dragonflies skim the surface and a kingfisher waits patiently from an overhanging tree. or a few precious moments, the ancient monotreme has the creek entirely to itself. Unhurried and perfectly at home, it searches the muddy bed with its remarkably sensitive bill before disappearing beneath the amber water once more. It is a fleeting encounter, but one that serves as a gentle reminder that some of Australia's greatest natural treasures are found not in grand landscapes, but in the quiet creeks that continue to shelter wildlife much as they have for millions of years. Ironcally, ornithorhynchus was one of the longest words I learnt to spell in school over 50 years ago. Made in PTE V11 and captured on Monday afternoon after the previous drone lighthouse video was captured in the morning. Some days are diamonds and some days are gold.

I shot this video on my drone yesterday and then saw the new features in V12 that Igor recently released. Had an idea about using some of the imagery with the new features. This type of Blending Mode is a great addition for my creative energy. Regards Mark

I have now had a chance to play with Blend Modes. As I no longer use Photoshop & do all of my image editing within PTE, this opens up so many new creative possibilities. Thank you so much for this great new feature. PTE just gets better & better. Jill

Hi, We've added Blend modes in PTE AV Studio 12 (Beta 15) today: https://www.pteavstudio.com/forums/topic/55029-blend-modes-in-pte-av-studio-12/

Last night.

Inspired by the transitions posted by jienense to make this AV overnight of a local theatre company production.

I enjoyed your voice over and accent as much as the visuals 😊 Kieron

"UNFORGIVING HIMALAYAS" (looping version) - is this week's free-to-use-with-attribution music track now in Ogg format. You can listen to it here: https://soundimage.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Unforgiving-Himalayas_Looping.ogg And download it here: https://soundimage.org/world/ The standard, non-looping version is in Mp3 format, so if you're a video content creator, this is the one you'll want to use. Same for all the tracks on my site. 🙂 OTHER HELPFUL STUFF My Ogg Game Music Mega Pack: https://soundimage.org/ogg-game-music-mega-pack/ My Ogg Genre Music Packs: https://soundimage.org/ogg-music-packs-2/ Custom Music https://soundimage.org/custom-work/ Attribution Information: https://soundimage.org/attribution-info/ Enjoy! 🙂

Thanks for the reply Igor. It is a head scratcher as I do not use an antivirus on this particular machine. It is an extremely fast and high end build and everything loads quickly on a Samsung 9100 PRO Series - 1TB PCIe 5.0 x4, NVMe 2.0, M.2 Internal SSD The files are stored on another M.2 internal drive . For a full day it would not work and I believe the cache files were corrupted as it showed the audio with all adjustment but green error It now works like a charm so I will wait and see. Really enjoying version 12 as my housekeeping on previous shows was was not the best. The Create Backup in ZIP command now correctly handles projects with multiple files that share the same name in different folders. I do large productions so the added support above 2GB is most welcomed. So many things that make this a worthwhile upgrade. Thank you Kieron

The first video shows a timelapse from a recent photography workshop and a few images produced at the workshop. The second video shows the same series of images from the workshop made into an AV. Mark

Well done, nice work. Congratulations.

Updated version of PTE AV Studio 12.0.1 is available for PC and Mac Download: https://www.wnsoft.com/pte-av-studio/download/ Fixed an issue where some slide styles could not be applied to slides. Fixed the video file extension not updating correctly in the Save File dialog after changing the export format (between MP4 and AV1). About window shows: 12.0.1 Build 1.

Thank you Guy, I enjoyed your images. DG

Congratulations on this anniversary – I look forward to the new version.

Hi Igor Thank you and your team for a wonderful program and like Kieron said hours and hours of fun and looking forward to the next Pro version . Michael

Merci

Hi, I try using new features in Custom transition. The blend modes are used here. transition fusion.pteeff The example Transition_fusion.webm The video is with new AV1 Codec Sorry: I use French Denis

Hey Igor, I'd like to congratulate you and your team on this great feature. We're going to be able to put on a lot of great shows with it. Just wanted to say thank you—I really like it. Best regards

Hi John, Here's a link to The Dom photo album. The product costs about 20 €. I bought one myself and am very happy with it. Maybe this will be helpful to you. https://thedom.gumroad.com/l/kLjsfG?layout=profile Best regards

Hi Mark, very fine result

Mark, you can change the Blend mode (operation) in the Properties of a Mask container. Look at my screenshot above, I have highlighted this setting with a yellow line.

Hi Igor very interesting feature, tested and working well. This opens up new creative possibilities for us.

Thanks a lot Igor!!! This option is great! My dream

I have to admit it has never been quite clear to me as to how or why something is designated "Main Object" in the O&A properties tab and/or the number of the object.

Could it be that what you are both seeing is the fact that ONLY Main Object 1 Images are shown as used by the Blue Text? If you have a BG Image, it will be Main Object 1 and any Images added (on top) will not be designated as being Main Object. DG

Very impressive... Alex55

What program are you using? I personally am more interested in using AI to automate my own still photos into videos and several programs have done a decent job but most have limits which change on a regular basis. I don't mind paying if I could find one that was consistently good with any limits stated up front. Also, I really like many of the transitions used in this video. Have you shared any of these in the past or would you be willing to share now? Thanks in advance!

Hi Mark, I actually use ON1 Photo RAW with Affinity (the Canva version). TBH I was a user of LR for many years but objected to the subscription model that Adobe went to so jumped ship and after a lot of research found that ON1 worked for me, especially since I could import the LR edits. Have been with ON1 since way before Covid. So no technical reason for moving away from Adobe eco system. Having said that I am perfectly happy with ON1 and Affinity. Both are stable with my Windows 11 system and do what I want. Mike

JRR, thanks for the feedback! Indeed, quite often the AI doesn't understand (can't, won't, or imposes its opinion), and you have to repeat it several times to achieve the desired effect.

Amazing what Ai (and you) can do. Many, at quick glance, didn't look Ai produced, a few did While I personally didn't care for some of the images, they were are all well done Congrats
