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 (Beta 15+) 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

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.

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

We plan to release the final version 12.0 on Monday or Tuesday next week.

Testing...

Hi, In PTE AV Studio 12 (Beta 13+) 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

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.

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

Hi, We published the final version of PTE AV Studio 12 today. See the official announcement here: https://www.pteavstudio.com/forums/topic/55186-pte-av-studio-120/ Tell us your impressions of the new version.

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, 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

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.

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!!

Here's an extremely simple Style showing two different ways of applying a Style and determining the order of objects appearing. 1. In a 16/9 Project add 4 images to the slide list. Their order in the slide list will determine the order in which they appear. Highlight all 4 and apply the Style. The Style creates 3 slides - slides 1 and 3 can be deleted. 2. In a 16/9 project, create a blank slide and add 4 Images to it in O&A. Use the "Main Object" to number each image in the order (1 to 4) that you want them to appear. Apply the Style. The Style creates 3 slides - slides 1 and 3 can be deleted. Demo Style - Object Numbering.ptestyle For demo purposes only.

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

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

Thank You Igor. I look forward to testing this later Jill

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

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

That's great opportunity for the Camera Club ! And great benefit for the cast and crew. (PS- my name is Jim 😊)

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.

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.

Trying to keep up with the times, I installed a program for working with and generating images and videos using artificial intelligence (AI). Using and testing various AI models and corresponding prompts, I tried to achieve the most realistic images and representations of people, interiors, events, and settings in various conditions. How and what I got is up to you to judge. Enjoy.

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!

Well done! Thanks for sharing!

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
