Hi Peter. I made a style similar to yours, but not exactly like the original. This is the simplest version with straight corners of the vignette. There is a style file and a project file in the project folder. I have included the project file in case you want to modify the design according to your preferences. The style name is random, but its animation resembles a similar preset with alternating images in After Effects. Photos in the style are cropped with a 16x9 aspect ratio. Keep this in mind when using photos with other sizes, or disable the "Crop" feature in the project and save the style with a different name.

Hello everyone. A retro-style design project for you. Download link and description on YouTube.

Very fine work. The text characters in both white and black, which allows for subtraction, work very well. More testing with masks.

Hi everybody. I saw a video with a heron from Digital and decided to offer this kind of design for such files. It is not necessary to use the entire project. You can apply one or more slides. All text blocks are editable. The slide duration can be extended for easier reading of the text. The slide movements are edited by the overall frame. Due to the lack of layer overlay modes in the program, the file with the crumpled paper effect is superimposed with a change in the opacity of the layer, adjust it yourself if necessary. Information about the project and the download link in the description of the video on YouTube. https://youtu.be/DUej61T06rU

Hi everybody. 10 transitions in the style of an Old Film Frame for your creativity. The download link is in the description of the video on YouTube. https://youtu.be/Gskzy8bzjYw

You're right, thanks. When creating a new transition, its duration is fixed at 2 seconds, and only a portion of the video is displayed (for your video, that's 2 seconds out of 10 seconds). After the user applies a custom transition, all objects are automatically scaled (including the video speed) to match the user-selected duration. This will also ensure the display of animations and video objects is not disrupted. We'll try to add a new parameter to the custom transition editing window: transition duration.

Hi, We'll show a new improved Chroma Key for video objects today (V12 Beta 12).

Hi, We plan to release the final version 12.0 in June 2026. Prices will remain the same as for version 11.0. Check our website for details.

Thanks for the response, Jill. I just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something. Not the best option but your idea of creating separate projects might work. I will experiment.

Hello, We're currently working on one more major feature for V12 and hope to include it in the final release. Thanks for your patience! Igor,

Hi, I noticed Chrome browser keeps making new windows slightly larger and shifting them down and to the right each time. At some point I realized I was wasting minutes and hours a year just constantly resizing and repositioning windows. So I wrote a small Chrome extension to fix it. You set your preferred size and position once, and it stays that way for every new window. Tested on Windows 11. Free, no ads, no permissions, full privacy. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/save-window-size/laobinpnagidgbnnokbidnghnjnlmfkh Hope someone finds it useful. Maybe it's especially useful when you use HiDPI scale 125% and more. Igor,

Thank you so much for sharing this project, it is greatly appreciated. Generally, for mobile images, I use a free Android application that uses AI to create shows and then edit/adjust them. I had been trying to create a template for my Windows PC. I find it easier to use "hands on" rather than using tutorials. Using an existing project and editing it, I find that process more useful. After downloading this folder, I used this project and changed the size and orientation to make 2 AV's. This one uses images from a mobile phone. This one uses the amera format/orientation. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and skills. I have a few other ideas for editing the project I will look at. Mark

Hi everyone, When creating a new transition, if it only contains images, it's perfect. The problem arises when using video masks in a transition. If the video is, for example, 6 seconds long, there's no way to make it play completely. I'm currently working on some transitions where the video mask is 9 seconds long. I sped it up in another external program to make it 4 seconds long, then sped it up again to 200% to fit within the 2-second limit, and then applied it, setting the transition to 6 seconds on the timeline. The result is a bit jarring. Having to speed up the video only to slow it down again once the transition is applied isn't a desirable solution, in my opinion.

Everything can be done only by means of the program. The masking layer allows you to add text characters of different shapes in large numbers and you just need to create the desired shape of the mask. It is simply undesirable to use photos with a lot of protruding hair, or leaves of grass, trees, and a similar multitude of small details, which require a lot of masks, time, and painstaking labor to isolate.

20 years ago, on May 1st, we published the first Beta version of the legendary PicturesToExe 5 with keyframe animations. V5 was released on June 18th, 2007.

Good luck next month

Hello all... I'm very new to this program - in fact, I just purchased it today as of this writing. I saw enough to fall in love with the program, but I do have one initial question that I couldn't find in the user guide. I've just created a slide show for a friend, but with the photos and everything, the total slide show came to 140 Megabytes. How can I save the project in a smaller format - or do I have to save it in a compressed format? Is there a way to compress or make smaller prior to saving the project? Thanks, Bernd Herrmann

Greetings, Thanks, I like the way of left-clicking on the Audio Clip in the Timeline and all the Tracks show up. I, then, can just drag down the separated audio clip in Track 1 down into Track 2. And then delete the empty Track 1. This helps to consolidate the audio clips. When you Separate Audio from Video, it puts the audio clip in its own Track and that can become messy when you do a lot of them. Thanks for the tip, Gary

Thanks for sharing. I am glad the original post gave you some inspiration to create this. My idea was initially just to create a simple text for a single image AV when posting on social platforms, but this is next level. Regards Mark

Bernd: Congrats on creating the AV show. Re the user guide, did you look at the Online help at: https://docs.pteavstudio.com/en-us/11.0/main

Very nice and interesting effet. Thank you for sharing.Thank'

Nice effect when carefully used Thanks

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

Very nice work, and a really beautiful song too... Well done! You must spend hours on PTE, but it's definitely worth it. What mastery of this wonderful software... once again, congratulations.

The commentary in this sequence was written by me, but read by Grok AI in the accent I determined. So, for those who find commentary a bit challenging, here is a way to avoid all the microphone issues, mis-spoken words and spoiled recordings and no dealing with noise in the audio

Thanks, I have some infrared images that I can use this style on. Mark

Nice work on the text personally I'd prefer changing images every 3-5 seconds

Hi Mary, I think what you suggest is the only way. Split the audio and link it to the specific slides. But every time you add in extra slides (or remove slides) that portion of the audio will shift. Unless you add/remove in Timeline View, which can be tricky. Something you could try is to maybe copy a section of Slides that you are looking at changing to a new project and play with it there. Then once happy copy those slides back to your main project. It is not going to be easy whichever way you do it. This is why I almost always build up my projects and sounds one step at a time, making sure I am happy before adding the next section. Good luck Jill

The style works well with the images - well done.

Hi, Thanks, I cofirm this issue. We'll fix it this week.

It only occurs if the style is applies to the last slide. If applied to an intermediate slide it works ok for me. As a temporary workaround, add a blank or "dummy" slide before applying your style. Hopefully, Igor will chip in. DG

Well done Effective effects (😊)

Well produced Looks like a mixed Goth/Steamboat event

"Thank you for your kind words and for crediting the author. I'm glad the template was helpful for your work. Wishing you great success with your presentation!"

Nice work with good choice of music and PIP effects. Well done.

Wanderlust, It wasn't difficult to do. By the way, the width of the vignette is also adjustable. I wish you success in your creative work.

Yes, it's true, I'm blind, I haven't seen it, even though it's first on the list, I was surprised not to have that option.

Hi, In PTE AV Studio 12 the Chroma Key function for video clips has been completely rewritten. It now works reliably with all popular background colors: green, blue, red, and more. Background removal quality is significantly improved. Edge handling is especially enhanced: color spill is eliminated and object outlines are clean and sharp. Try the new Beta 12. Click to play: ChromaKey-V11-vs-V12.mp4

Beta 12 is available See the download links above. Improved Chroma Key for Video Clips. The chroma key function for video clips has been completely rewritten. It now works reliably with all popular background colors: green, blue, red, and more. Background removal quality is significantly improved. Edge handling is especially enhanced: color spill is eliminated and object outlines are clean and sharp. Video example Improved the Trim and Adjust Speed window (for a video object). Timeline scale is now preserved. Added hints for “+”, “-”, “[“ and “]” buttons.

A complex style from a group of images can create a series of slides. These slides must be grouped together (for example, the Collage style or Photo Story style), so the program combines them into a group after applying them. Initially, we didn't anticipate a simple case (1 image style creates 1 slide). This general behavior existed from version 8.0 up to 10.5. To avoid changing the program's behavior, we added a new option "Keep slide order" option starting in version 11.0 for simple 1 picture styles.

Hi, Transition duration is always determined by the user (via Project Options or Slide Options). When author creates a new transition, he works with a virtual duration of 2 seconds (this is simply a convention, it's not a fixed duration). In reality, the transition and keyframes of all objects will be compressed or expanded in time depending on the transition duration chosen by the user. We've intentionally designed this so that the transition creator isn't tied to a specific transition duration, but can design it universally for any reasonable duration subsequently selected by the user (0.5 seconds, 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, etc).

Hi Javier, very fine work. Well done

Igor, happy anniversary to you and the entire WnSoft team! Best of luck to everyone!

Beta 11 is available See the download links above. Improved the Trim and Adjust Speed window (for a video object): Added Undo function (Ctrl+Z). Hint for a selected keyframe shows the source time and the playback time. Minor improvements.
