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

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

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

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 Picture comment for videos is fixed on both Mac and Windows. Thanks! Tom

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..

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.

I enjoyed your voice over and accent as much as the visuals 😊 Kieron

"UNFORGIVING HIMALAYAS" (looping version) - is this week's free-to-use-with-attribution music track now in Ogg format. You can listen to it here: https://soundimage.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Unforgiving-Himalayas_Looping.ogg And download it here: https://soundimage.org/world/ The standard, non-looping version is in Mp3 format, so if you're a video content creator, this is the one you'll want to use. Same for all the tracks on my site. 🙂 OTHER HELPFUL STUFF My Ogg Game Music Mega Pack: https://soundimage.org/ogg-game-music-mega-pack/ My Ogg Genre Music Packs: https://soundimage.org/ogg-music-packs-2/ Custom Music https://soundimage.org/custom-work/ Attribution Information: https://soundimage.org/attribution-info/ Enjoy! 🙂

Kieron, thanks, I've updated the link. Try again.

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

Well done, nice work. Congratulations.

Thank you Guy, I enjoyed your images. DG

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

Happy July Everyone, Here's a fun track from my Jazz/Big Band page...now in higher-quality Ogg format: "SLAPSTICK" (Looping) Yo can listen to it here: https://soundimage.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Slapstick.ogg There's also a LoFi version...you can listen to that one here: https://soundimage.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Slapstick_LoFi.ogg LoFi tracks are useful if you need the music to sound like it's playing over an old transistor radio, tv, etc. Both tracks can be downloaded here: https://soundimage.org/jazz-big-band/ As always, they're 100% free to use with attribution, just like my thousands of other music tracks and sounds. WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL ABOUT OGG TRACKS? For those of you who don't know, Ogg tracks loop much better in game engines, as opposed to Mp3 tracks. Mp3 encoding will often discard music information at the end of a track. This creates an audible gap when the track reaches the end and loops to start over. Ogg encoding doesn't discard any information, hence no gap and perfect looping. For tracks that don't need to loop, Mp3 works just fine, but definitely go with Ogg for looping. Plus Ogg encoding is higher fidelity so Ogg music tracks sound richer and more full. Anyhow, if you're interested in downloading all my game music tracks at once (instead of one track at a time from my website) my Ogg Game Music Mega Pack is a huge time-saver. Plus it's a cool way to support my efforts. Here's a link: https://soundimage.gumroad.com/l/ylyre There's even a preview video you can watch if you'd like...or maybe listen to while doing other things...(it runs about an hour.) An of course, if you need some custom music created special for your project, just let me know. My contact information is here: https://soundimage.org/custom-work/ Until then, enjoy, stay safe and keep being creative! 🙂

Hey Igor, I'd like to congratulate you and your team on this great feature. We're going to be able to put on a lot of great shows with it. Just wanted to say thank you—I really like it. Best regards

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

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

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.

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.

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.
