Hi everybody, The idea of the Slideshow was the illustration one of the new PTE V.12 feature-Blending Modes. This is basically variations of the one Style--Screen Blending Mode. The set of pictures placed in the Stencil Container and the Background Composition-in the Mask Content. There's some whistles and bells here and there also to make it looks more cinematic. To my mind, of course. If you like it--there's The Link. Just replace the files marked "Replace Me" with yours Media. Best Alex55

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:

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

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

1) In Object and Animation, when you move a Keypoint, it snaps to the end and the beginning of the slide, and to the other 2 points that represent the Transition/In and Out points , -- and that's PERFECT. BUT when dragging the cursor along the existing Keyframes, it would be very useful and nice, IF the cursor would snap to the Keyframes and In/Out points too. At the moment it just flashes when upon the keyframe, but no snap/ lock to that point/keyframe. 2) Also in the same Object and Animation window, on the right side: please set the height of Properties and Animation tabs around 75% of the screen height AS DEFAULT, and the bottom section, where the created elements are listed, would then take the rest of 25%. For the moment, I always need to adjust the height of those sections too see all the settings and thats very frustrating. 3) Can you please make more variations of "Spots" transtion? Or creating various settings for changing/ varying the existing one ? Like blur margins, liquify margins, vary the pattern of holes, etc We need some more transitions, specially organic/random-shaped ones. Best regards, L.B.

Have you tried the keyframe navigation arrows? https://docs.pteavstudio.com/en-us/12.0/objectsandanimation_1/managing_key_frames#navigate_key_frames DG

A short AV made of images after a visit to Whian Whian Falls last week. A simple dissolve of images from the top of the falls. This is another version of the same images using the Camera 2 Template provided by jienense. I made some changes to the end and although it was meant to show the 15 different camera captures, I useed the complete series in this instance. Using shared tmplates does help with my learning as I re-engineer/design the template even with the different language barrier. thanks for sharing. Mark

We fixed this issue. Try the new v12.0.1 Build 3: PC: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/pteavstudio-setup.exe Mac: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/PTE-AV-Studio.dmg

Hi Javier thanks for sharing this interesting transitions. Well done

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

I took the timelapse I made earlier this week and added some extra features with Blended Masks from V12. Took a bit of fine tuning and time but happy with the result. Mark

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

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.

"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.

Thank you Guy, I enjoyed your images. DG

Trés pour votre diaporama avec le logiciel PTE 11

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

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! 🙂

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

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.

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.

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 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. Click to play: ChromaKey-V11-vs-V12.mp4
