Hi, here are some transitions I've created with the help of a friend who gave me a hand with a few minor issues. Since these are my first ones, I'd like to share them with you. https://www.mediafire.com/file/0kqiuqzxbo61z9f/Papel_Unido_v.2.rar/file

A little late, but... I have a small gift for you in connection with the release of version 12 of the program. A set of transitions for your creativity. I hope you find them useful. Thank you. ZigZag Fold Transitions PTE AV 12 includes three transition options: A standard package of four transitions, A 9x16 version for vertical videos, A version with sound effects.

Hi, here are some transitions for you; I hope you can use them if you like them. https://www.mediafire.com/file/gw0ot8t04q2z5o3/4K_numeric_transitions.rar/file

Hi, This feature (timeline scaling) is already on our TODO list, and I agree that it would be very useful. Let me say a few thoughts. We have many ideas for improving the product (PTE), so we constantly have to choose what to build now and what to implement later. Some ideas or features might look simple but are actually very difficult to implement, because they are deeply integrated into complex old code. Sometimes we wait to rewrite a whole large section of code so we can add several new features at the same time. We have a small team. For example, one person writes the code for slide styles, another work on the Objects and animation editor, and a third works on effects and custom transitions. There is also important ongoing work - refactoring (restructuring) old code - that is not immediately visible to users but is very impotant to ensure the legacy code doesn't break down under the weight of new features and effects. Then there is the matter of cross-platform support (PC and Mac). Sometimes we spend a long time working on a new feature or effect and hit a "dead end" - it doesn't work as intended, so we have to delay it, and time is lost. Yes, we might also make mistakes when prioritizing which features to include in a new version. We're trying to make the program better with every release, but we aren't perfect, and we ask you excuse us, if we don't always meet your expectations! In any case, I always welcome all constructive criticism and reminders about the features you’d like to see. Thank you!

Hi everybody, The Project you see was created entirely in PTE 12. All the pictures are 9x16 Aspect Ratio. Just replace the Placeholders in " .EDIT" folders with pictures or videos of your choice. There's a Transitions ,so you can use any number of the Slides. The Link to the Project is included .

Hello everyone. I present to you 8 transitions in the “Light Film Frame” style for your creative work. The download link is in the release description on YouTube.

In my experience I agree with Nelson and JKB. I have owned PTE for many years (probably V1 in the 90's) and always found the developers very reasonable, responsive, supportive and I am not aware of any other applications that have this contact with the developer support from. One of the other major competitors is no longer being developed or availalble so I appreciate the support and development assistance of PTE. Sometimes in life we don't always get what we want. Furthermore, while not a developer, I do know some software has some legacy platform problems and what is requested may not actually be viable/possible using the existing code/platform. I certainly appreciate the time and effort by the developers in implementing the recent changes for V12 and the updates since. Also compatibility with new hardware is a problem. I do notice updates and changes to suit Apple OS changes regularly even though I am not an Apple user. There is an old saying, you attract more flies to honey than you do to vinegar. Seeking support for changes in an empathetic manner I have found is more productive. Thank you to Igor and the team for your assistance and support, I certainly appreciate it.

Lots of features have been added over the years at users requests. If it was easy to add the Zooming in for O&A then it would have been done. So it may not be easy to add. WnSoft are a very small company with limited resources & PTE is continually being developed. Other changes are constantly being worked on & will appear when ready, Jill

Yes, it' a common issue for all TIFF files included in a slide style or CT resources. TIFF decoder incorrectly handles the "{" character in the file path. We have already fixed this bug, and the solution is very simple and reliable - just one line of code. I'll publish the new version on Monday.

Imagine you own PTE V11 and you're going to check if a new version or update is available. If your version is up to date you will see "You are using the latest version of PTE AV Studio Pro 11 ..." when clicking on Help / Check for free update menu. And when clicking on Help / Check for new version you can see "You are using the latest version of PTE AV Studio Pro 11" There is nothing to indicate that a new version of PTE is available. It would be relevant to display a message stating that version 12 of PTE is available. (For example, Audacity displays this type of message for version 4). For users who frequently visit the WNSOFT forum, it's obvious that a new version of PTE is available; however, for others, there is no information regarding the availability of V12.

This story is based on a local platypuses in a creek not far from my home. Pip is a curious cartoon like AI created young platypus who lives in a beautiful Australian creek in the northern rivers of NSW.

Reworked D drive and now using it. Thanks all for the help!

Hi, Today the forum and PTE online help site were slow or hard to reach. I'm sorry for this problem! The cause: heavy traffic from AI bots/crawlers. More than 2 millions visits last 24 hours. This time bots were running on Google Cloud public servers, which made it tricky to block them without also blocking real Google services. I found a fix and the sites should now work normally. Thanks for your patience!

I sometimes have problem focusing my digital camera (Nikon P950) on birds when they are nesting in trees. My camera does not have a manual focus ring. In Affinity I select the bird and create a mask, then use a Live Filter Light layer with texture option which creates a bump map of the image. I have found this method helps to recover detail that unsharp mask does not. I think Photoshop also has a light filter. https://www.affinity.studio/ https://www.affinity.studio/help/filters-lighting-effects/ Thanks, Tom Example (I probably recovered too much detail in this example)

AI like ChatGPT can recover much more detail. After AI identifies the subject (or you describe it), then it can add more detail to the feathers because it knows what a Night Heron looks like. You can use a budget low resolution camera and get good results by enhancing with AI. AI masking, sky replacement, resizing, and noise reduction is common in most photo editors today. I almost always use AI to help identify new birds I have never seen before.

Let me see if I can explain this clearly: if I provide the style and you want to change "Halloween Party" to "Halloween Night"—well, if I create the style in PNG format, you won't be able to edit the file. However, if I create it in TIFF format, anyone who wants to can edit it to their liking—using an editing program like Photoshop or GIMP, for example.

"We all want the program to be as strong as possible so we all benefit. But it's worth remembering that turning ideas into reality requires complex decision-making, staffing, and budget. Personally, I find the software very feature-rich for its current price point. It raises an important question: if we want a faster influx of new features, how much more would we collectively be willing to pay to fund that extra development?"

Thanks. I just used the free ChatGPT. I am in 2 minds about the development of AI and where it is going. The green washing of the impact on the environment as well as the unkown use and potential are a concern. Luckily for me, I live within waking distance of a creek that has been 1 and 4 each time I visit. On saying that they are more active at present as it is the mating season. Have manged to capture briefly 2 males fighting and a courtship on camera/video. Cheers Mark

Updated version of PTE AV Studio 12.0.4 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 Fixed an issue where a video clip with adjusted speed or a trimmed start could be skipped in the final render during video export. Fixed an issue where restoring a backup project loaded files from their original location instead of the project's backup folder, if the original file was available. About window shows: 12.0.4 Build 1.

Hi, I see the problem with this style (confetti) in V12. We’ll check the code today.

Hi SoCu I confirm this style works well with PTE 11 and unfortunately the confetti appears white with PTE 12

SoCu, This Style works OK with Version 11. Original Post is here: https://www.pteavstudio.com/forums/topic/20848-confetti/#comment-138292 Possibly Igor can throw some light on this?? DG

I asked AI about your problem 🙂 1. Toggle Hardware Acceleration (Most Common Fix) PTE relies heavily on the computer’s graphics card to encode MP4 videos. A recent graphics driver update can sometimes cause errors. [1] Have him go to the Publish menu -> HD or 4K Video. Look for the Hardware Acceleration checkbox at the bottom of the window. If it is checked, uncheck it and try publishing again (or vice versa). [1] 2. Check the Destination Folder (Permissions Issue) Sometimes Windows or macOS blocks PTE from writing a new video file to certain directories due to recent security updates. Ensure he is not trying to publish directly to an external hard drive, a USB flash drive, or a cloud-synced folder (like OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox). Have him change the destination path to a simple, local folder directly on his main drive, like a folder on his desktop or local C:\ drive. 3. Scan for a "Corrupt" Asset or Missing File Because the failure happens on this exact project file across multiple versions, there is likely a single corrupt or unsupported image, audio track, or video clip embedded in the timeline. [1] Look for missing files: If a file was moved or renamed, PTE might show a "File Not Found" warning on the timeline. Isolate video clips: If he has embedded shorter .mp4 or .mov video clips inside his slideshow, one of those clips might have a codec that is choking the encoder. Have him temporarily remove any video clips from the timeline and see if the show publishes as an MP4 with just the stills. [1, 2] 4. Create a Clean Test Zip To verify if it's a system issue or a file path issue, he should use the built-in backup utility: Go to the main menu -> File -> Create Backup in Zip. Save that zip file to his desktop, unzip it into a brand new folder, and open the new .pte file from there. Try publishing from this clean, consolidated folder. [1] 5. Check for Third-Party Interference Sometimes antivirus software flags the temporary encoding processes PTE uses to build an MP4 as suspicious, blocking the file creation. He can try temporarily pausing his antivirus program for 5 minutes just to see if the video publishes successfully.

Try loading the Sample Project from HELP. Publish at the same settings - will that publish OK? If so, start looking at the content of your project. How many slides, Images, Videos etc. DG

Is drive D a Physical drive on your computer? Is it connected via USB - if yes then try disconnecting & reconnecting Does it have enough free space? Can you create an exe on the same drive? Try a different Drive & see if it will create I cannot see anything wrong with your settings. Jill

Okay, so the transitions have been added in reverse order. When you add this second transition, the first image displayed is the previous slide so the effect isn't the same as before. I've put the link in the first post; I removed the previous one since those transitions are included in this version, and I've also changed the video to show what they look like.

Hi SoCu, I understand what you try to do - make a bigger copy of the text object under the normal text, to look like an outline effect. The problem is - when you make the font size bigger, the letters don't grow the same on all sides. Bigger letters shift a bit and cover the small text more on one side, less on other side. This is why outline look normally in some places and not OK in other places. Jill's idea is the right way for this - use Ring Shadow to simulate outline effect. P.S. Your pictures are on Imgur web service, and Jill can not see them, because of regional limitations of Imgur. Better to upload pictures as attachment to your post here on forum, not link to outside service.

Beautifully put together—it immediately draws you in and makes you want to try it out yourself. It’s truly impressive. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Alex for sharing. I've recently repurchased PTE since I stopped using Proshow and have been replicating some of my favorite transition and styles. Its incredibly helpful to take a peek at some of the amazing and original transitions and styles you have created.

PTE describes positions and sizes of objects using percents. Pixel values are not involved. So, if you work in O&A using percent (%) for the inputs of Pan and Zoom, the precise values of "Virtual size of slide" don't play any role, provided that the entries describe the correct aspect ratio. So, for any 16to9-project it does not make a difference, if the virtual size is 3840x2160, or 1920x1080, or just 16x9. The situation is different if you work with Pan and Zoom in the uncomfortable way using pixels (px). In this case you should chose for virtual size the resolution of the device on which in the end the show will be presented. Nevertheless, as said above, in PTE's project files pixel values for Pan and Zoom will not occur. Everything will be transformed to percents. And working in O&A with percents allows you to position the objects with high precision.

Magnifique !!!! Merci pour ce nouveau projet partagé ! Henry

As always astounding and thanks!

Thank you, Alex for sharing this slidestyle. Much appreciated. Rosemary

chanfi22, digartal, Thank you guys. Appreciate yours comments. This new V12 is fun to work with. You can dig in and still there's a way to go. Best Alex

Thanks appreciate this, now have to create a project to use it.

Thanks, appreciate you sharing this to the group.

Fantastic - thanks for sharing. Appreciate the skill involved creating this and thanks so much for sharing.

Very nice! I like the transitions. Thank you for sharing!

I love these kinds of transitions, thank you

The song concept and lyrics were completely written, directed, and produced by my partner, while AI was used to shape the instrumentation and vocal layers based on original human songwriting. The music video features a blend of actual video footage and photography (mostly mine), some of which was animated with AI. Entire video created in PTE AV. I hope you enjoy it.

Very creative, thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing these.

OK now, but it was offline from about 21.00 gmt until around 10.00 this morning. Thanks Igor. DG

Thanks for all your hard work to keep the Forum Running. It is much appreciated Jill

Hi, You can send Barry a personal message with this question: https://www.pteavstudio.com/forums/profile/671-barry-beckham Or perhaps Barry will see your question and answer it himself. 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.

Hello everyone. The project is a demonstration of the new features of the 12th version of the program, now with layer overlays. The Light Leaks overlay now works relatively correctly, relatively because the mask effect has to be applied to the entire composition, not just to a layer, and the overlay of the image on the folding paper works correctly.

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.

The Old Lamplighter Show, AI Or???? I'll Never Tell..... Hope you enjoy the show. Here is the web links to my web site: The Old Lamplighter Show. The Old Lamplighter Show: https://www.pnwhiker.org/LampLighter/LampLighterShow.htm

If you use the Timeline view rather than going into O&A to trim the video, then just play the video up to the point you want it to start. Then right click & Trim Beginning of video. For the end point I just drop the next slide in at the point I want it to end. If you don't get it exactly right then you can always fine tune it in O&A afterwards. I find this method quick & easy Jill

Hi Pascal, What a super cool effect !!!! Bravo !!!! Best regards, Lin
