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

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.

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

Nice results from the shoot. Looked like a great facility to do the club shoot - nice to have all the equipment to do three shoots at once

Hi Rosemary, Please read the 11 mini tutorials for all the new major features in PTE AV Studio 12: Every publication tells about a new feature, includes screenshots or a video demonstration, and sample projects: https://www.pteavstudio.com/forums/tags/new feature/ 2. The online help has updated articles for new features: https://docs.pteavstudio.com/en-us/12.0/v12_wn/main 3. Also read the What's New page on our website: https://www.wnsoft.com/en/pte-av-studio/whats-new-12/ It tells about new features and includes screenshots and video demonstrations.

Well done, nice work. Congratulations.

JRR, can you please encourage people to use English - this is an English Forum? DG Guy, can you please use Google translate and post in English? 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

Thanks to you and your team for allowing me hours of enjoyment. I will be upgrading as soon as it is availabe. Kieron

Merci

Hi Mark, very fine result

Check the "About" window to make sure you're using V12 Beta 15 and the Pro version. We've provided a free Pro Beta key for testing (see my announcement about the V12 Beta). A choice of Blend modes is not available in the Standard version, but they will work if they've already been added via a slide style or template.

You now have an understanding of why some used images are highlighted in blue and others not. If you are not going to create Styles you need not worry about the rest. Most people should be able to manage with "Quick Styles" (or not use Styles at all) and in these cases the Main Object numbering need not worry you. If you have a specific problem you are welcome to Message me - there are lots of others who will be willing to help. Good luck, DG P.S. There is a way of getting ALL used images highlighted in blue but it is not very elegant!!

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

Hi, Glad that your like the new blending effect in V12

Although I never use Slide Styles, as I understand it - If your Slide Style needs 4 images that appear in a certain order, then if you number the images 1, 2, 3, 4 then they will appear in that order. If you don't use or create Slide Styles, then don't worry about it. Jill

The first image/object that you drag into the slide list is automatically designated "Main Object 1" and its name turns blue in the File List. All subsequent object in the same slide are left blank and are not turned blue in the File List. You can manually assign an Object number in O&A and these are used when creating a Style. The way in which multiple images are applied in a Style is determined by the order of the Main Object designations. See Styles in the OH. DG

Thanks a lot!!!

yes you can open old shows made with an earlier version of PTE in the current version - as long as you have the .pte file. Or just download the older PTE from the website if you want to stay with the same version it was made with. If you only have the exe or MP4 then no. Jill

Very impressive... Alex55

Hello everyone, and thank you all for your feedback! I really love this new effect in version 12. It makes creating creative effects incredibly simple and intuitive. I've already prepared a collection of transition effects built around this new feature, and I'll be releasing them as soon as version 12 is officially released. Pascal.

Thanks for your comment. @Digartal, I'm glad you found them useful. I just watched your presentation, and as you said, it's something to be happy about. I really liked both the effects and the animations. Congratulations!

I think the transitions work well on this particular AV Nice consistent use throughout. Aside from Av producers seeing the transitions in use, I suspect this AV is really more of interested to the performing group. (But certainly not solely limited to them)

Try the new Beta 13 (V12). Hold the Shift key while dragging a sound volume keypoint with the mouse cursor in the Timeline to adjust it with finer, slower precision. Accuracy is improved by 3x. We cannot use the arrow keys for sound volume editing because the keypoints have no focus. I hope that the solution with the Shift key and mouse editing will be a good alternative.

mhwarner, The computer program for working with and generating images, videos, and audio using AI on prompt is called ComFyUI. It's free. The program itself is relatively small, 5-5.5 GB, but that's only half the battle. The sheer number of models and libraries it contains is what takes up the most space. Models for anime, children, men, women, formal models, erotic and semi-erotic, for different body parts (separate models for the face, arms, legs, body, figure, gait, etc.), body structure for men and women, children, animals, and so on. And all this is separate for images and videos. All this takes up a huge amount of space on your computer. My relatively small selection of models took up 2 TB (terabytes), and that should fit on a single drive. But that's only half the battle. The program, like the AI itself, is very sensitive to computer power. Weak, and even mid-range, computers are not suitable for modern AI. My images took 0.5-5 minutes to generate, depending on the AI model's complexity. But videos... from 10 minutes to over 2.5 hours, and I didn't expect them to last any longer and cancelled the generation. When generating long and large videos, the video card heats up to 90 degrees Celsius, which is very harmful. Moreover, (according to some rumors) the program was developed for new and modern high-performance video cards, such as the Nvidia RTX 4090-5090 and newer. And your computer's memory (RAM) should be at least 32 GB, and preferably 64 GB or more. Therefore, for image generation, photo editing, and short video generation, it's best to use AI-powered platforms with processing power thousands of times greater than any computer. Sites like Qwen and Grok offer a wide range of plans and payment methods. There you can improve photos, animate them, colorize old photos, and much more. Good luck! P.S. I published the styles used in this work here a year or two ago. If remember it under the name "Moving Line," look for it in the Styles section.

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
