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

15 transitions with camera sound, for this new version of PTE V 12, I hope you like it. Download: https://javier-pteavstudio.blogspot.com/

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.

Igor has asked me to post a link to my new AV sequence. The background is that my AV Group had a challenge to produce a new sequence using some form of AI, either images, video or audio. I decided to make one about Yuri Gagarin's pioneering space flight in 1961. Very few images exist of this, so the use of AI was a good option to re-imagine the story. See what you think:

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

Good evening everyone. Is it possible to enlarge the keyframe bar in the O&A (Objects and Animation) section of PTE PRO 12 so that I can better see the spacing between keyframes when they are very close together? For example, five transition points spaced just one or two hundredths of a second apart. Unfortunately, my eye sight isn't what it used to be. Thanks in advance for your replies. Ale53.

This is something that has been asked for, but currently not possible, I have the same problem with eyesight. One option if you work with 2 monitors is to drag the window out across both monitors. This does help a bit. Using the arrow keys to tab between the KeyFrames can also be useful, rather than trying to drag with the mouse. Jill

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.

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.

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

Great Job, of telling one of the first space flights, I got lucky and met John Kennedy in person when he was on the campaign trail in Oregon, and met Yuri Gagarin's in Moscow at some Russian affair back in 1971, I was touring Europe on a poor boys budget, i had just returned from Nam and wanted to see how the rest of the world really lived before I died. Your so right on AI it is a real mental challenge top stay in focus and not get carried away your ego, and a lot of patience. The AV use was fantastically well done, keep up the good work. 😉💥

Hi Roan, Thanks for your message! I confirm this issue, we're already working on the solution.

Nicely done

SoCu: Your right, blame for the stupidity for some dumb reason I must of went in a deleted that url link, but it is now working, so try this link again, https://www.pnwhiker.org/ColSmkBkg/zip/SmokeBackgroundsDemoZips.htm Thanks for the heads up, good catch, Looks like I need a good baby sitter,Right... Thanks pnwhiker..

California Nights Show, AI Or???? I'll Never Tell..... Hope you enjoy the show, It only took a hour on PTE 12, mostly because the timeline is slow regenerating every time you slide it back a couple slides waiting for screen to come back from black, for the slide picture to reappear on selected slide, so you can rerun the timeline to get a precise time sync or its either win 11 or the computers ram only 32 gig. Here is the web links to my web site: California Nights Show. California Nights Show: https://www.pnwhiker.org/CalNights/CalNightsShow.htm

Hi Kieron, Did you clear the cache of audio clips in the Preferences window (main menu > Settings > Preferences)? We didn't touch this code (waveforms for audio clips) in V12. Please let me know if this problem will occur again. I'm glad that you like the new V12! By the way, ZIP archive creation is also several times faster than before.

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

Mark, thanks for this example of using V12 blending modes in a real project.

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.

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

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

Very impressive... Alex55
