Hi everybody, It's looks pretty slow on Forum. Here's the project someone may find handy. The Link included. Alex55

My latest version. Modify and improve if you want to. I was interested in designing a button layout for the two additional effects. Thanks, Tom Update: I noticed after posting 2 of my arrow icons are different than the others. Here is what they look like now. You can easily edit them iso I will not post a new version of the transition (see image below). Quick Slide V3.pteeff

Hi! In case you like geometric shape transitions, here is a link if you want to try them out. https://www.mediafire.com/file/owcke2r14qhaw8z/Geometric_shape_transitions.rar/file

This transition is emulation of Google Photos Slideshow transition. I have recently started using PTE again and amazed at the transitions recently posted. Tom Quick Slide.pteeff

JPEG and PNG are definitely the best formats for images, and we recommend to use them in PTE AV Studio projects. IMHO, I've found an interesting use for the PSD format - creating text titles with complex visual decoration. Photoshop offers many great tools for styling an decorating text. If you add a PSD file with a transparent background to a slide, you can easily edit the text at any time. The changes will be updated automatically in PTE. The PSD file will also be automatically included in the project backup ZIP archive. The only downside is that PSD files are much larger than PNG files. P.S. It's always better to have more options than limited choice.

Save as transparent PNG and import into PTE. PTE drop shadow can be added. https://opendesignercloud.com/studio/text-effects/ Other studio tools. https://opendesignercloud.com/studio/ Tom

I think it’s just as you say; it’s not about using PSD files for everything from now on, but if someone wants to share a project—for instance, one with a complex title—and allow others to edit it, I think this is a good solution. I honestly don’t understand why anyone would object to having more options. As for the drawback that PSD files are larger, I don’t think an extra few megabytes is going to cause any real trouble for anyone these days.

Hello, I’m sharing these script-style fonts with you. https://www.mediafire.com/file/ulcm7t4fw0b6aq8/Script_Lettering_Style.rar/file

Hi Everyone! I've been a slideshow enthusiast for over 23 years now, starting with MemoriesOnTv, moving to ProShow and now using PTE AV. I've created over 100 slideshows, mainly of my holidays (with the kids), making them into short movies (30-60 minutes). One thing I've missed in almost all tools, is a way to bulk edit the slideshow. Such as: Change slide duration only for photo slides Apply complex slide timing rules (subtract, add, %, video length) Sort slides based on file name, date, extension, size and type Randomize transitions by selection Apply KenBurns (or other) effect only to photos Apply volume settings to all videos at once Have a version control with descriptions and backup Enable presets for your favorite settings Choose the exact pan/zoom/rotate settings in bulk So I've created my own solution that I used to automate my slideshows according to my preferences. I've used it only for myself, but wanted to share this with the community after trying to code it online. For now I'm looking for 5 beta testers that can use the product for free for a couple of weeks and give their feedback. After that, I'm considering making the tool paid, but also maintaining it and implementing requests. Preview (version 1.0): https://unomne.com/pteav If you want to sign up, respond with "beta" below. NOTE: you need to upload only your .pte file, NOT your media files. So the system will have access to file names, durations etc, but not see the photos or videos.

Updated version of PTE AV Studio 12.0.5 is available for PC and Mac Download: https://www.wnsoft.com/pte-av-studio/download/ Or use the Auto Update function: Main menu > Help > Check for Free Updates Added support for images in PSD format. Only for PSD files saved with the "Maximize Compatibility" option (enabled by default), which includes the merged layer. Added support for videos in the MXF file container. Fixed an issue where TIFF images used as decorations were not displayed correctly in slide styles. Fixed an issue on macOS where Arabic letters in text objects overlapped each other. About window shows: 12.0.5 Build 2 (Build 1 on Mac)

Hi! A bit of confetti is always a nice touch. Here is a style available in two formats, for 16:9 and 9:16 projects. https://www.mediafire.com/file/la51jrl1avh3knp/Style_Confetti_Explosion.rar/file

Ghulya, A frame in PTE is essentially a PSD in its primitive form. PSD is a PhotoShop Document containing multiple layers, including text layers. When you open a PSD in the program, you can edit each layer. In PTE, you can actually only open a PSD with the layers merged into one. You won’t be able to edit the layers. That’s all I wanted to say. And where is the mention of video files here?

PSD in a software built for slideshows? That is completely beside the point. Jpg and Png formats are more than enough to create a video from still images that move—an apparent oxymoron. It is obvious that whoever wrote that confuses the medium with programs dedicated purely to traditional video editing. PTE is not that; I repeat, it is software that produces exceptional results from still images, transforming them in expert hands into something entirely distinct from video editing. Anyone who, like the writer, comes from the analog world—slide projectors, Kodak or other brands combined with Carousel units and controllers for slide changes and audio synchronization—knows it is an entirely unique experience.Especially when projections took place outdoors, multimedia (as it was called back then) became something entirely separate and different from the cinema of that era. Therefore, PTE, a program rooted fundamentally in the image,represents another emotional reality that shares nothing with video-cinema and similar nonsense. Keep this in mind, otherwise, it is just noise and chaos, which serves no purpose whatsoever. Indeed, if someone has nothing in their head, what comes out is a slurry of Nothingness. Behind a true slide show lies meticulous planning and purpose; otherwise, you get nothing more than the rubbish served up by the convent of the Web: NOTHING.

If anyone is interested, there’s a free program called Patchy Image Editor for editing photos and PSD files — it’s similar to Photoshop, but it has nothing to do with Adobe. Link: https://github.com/SethRobinson/Patchy A PSD file makes sense precisely because of its separate layers, and in PTE it can only be used by importing it layer by layer into a PNG with alpha.

Hi everybody, The idea of the Slideshow was the illustration one of the new PTE V.12 feature-Blending Modes. This is basically variations of the one Style--Screen Blending Mode. The set of pictures placed in the Stencil Container and the Background Composition-in the Mask Content. There's some whistles and bells here and there also to make it looks more cinematic. To my mind, of course. If you like it--there's The Link. Just replace the files marked "Replace Me" with yours Media. Best Alex55

styria, 1.Click on Ticket to the Tropics title at the top of the window. 2. You'll be redirected to the YouTube site 3. You'll see message Download Free Project files......... beneath the window 4. Good luck

Hi, Thanks. I’ve added the missing Spanish version of this page, so the link should now open correctly.

I uploaded a poem to chatGPT and asked it to create a slideshow. Each line in the poem stanza added one second to the slide duration. It was interesting. I still prefer manual creation over the AI version. Tom

Very little has changed in this area since I did the original Style. I still think that the best way forward is the way that I did it i.e. Photoshop. DG

Hi, Thanks for your message. We've added this idea to our TODO list.

Hi, Welcome to the forum, and thanks for sharing your tool. It has some good ideas. Good luck!

Thank you Jill for the information

Interesting. Still in alpha release. Written using AI and Rust programming language. https://getartcraft.com/apps Review of Lighroom clone from my favorite photo editor reviewer.

Hi Igor, Thanks for the improved version. I'm always learning new methods of using PTE even after all these years. It never gets old (except me). I am looking forward to using PTE more this winter when super El Niño arrives in the Pacific Northwest.

Hi Tom, Thanks for sharing your transition! I’d like to suggest a small improvement. You can animate different parameters, movement and opacity - independently. - Animate movement (Pan) from the 1st to the 3rd keyframe, with a speed modifier (Slow down) on the 1st keyframe. - Change the opacity from the 1st to the 2nd keyframe; the 2nd keyframe affects only the opacity, while other animation groups (Pan, Zoom, Rotate, etc.) are disabled (unticked). The ability to selectively disable (untick) animation group(s) allows for the insertion of intermediate keyframes where other animations remain unaffected while other properties, such as opacity - can be modified. Here is an example: Quick Slide V2.pteeff

If you need to move all of the sound clips together on a Track then Hold Shift & drag them left or right. If say the first few are ok & you just need to move later ones, then just click on the Clip you wish to start from & again hold Shift & Drag. An Alternative is to double click on a clip, which will open up Project Options/Audio & you can then adjust the timings in there. To make sure in future that clips don't move away from a Slide then Link the Sound Clip to a Slide. Click the Slide, then Right Click the Clip & Select Link Audio to Slide # You can also Lock a Track so that it can't be moved. You can't select all tracks at once. Jill

Hi everybody, Love this song. Tried to find suitable Styles to fit. Here's the result. Note, this is 16x9 Aspect ratio, so choose pictures accordingly or crop the aspect to 16x9. Best Alex55
