Thank you again Jill, for your assistance. Also thank you to Jienense for the download. I am away from my desktop computer, so I will try you file tonight. I appreciate both of you taking time to reply and offer solutions. Woolie

The program already does this and always has. Used Main images have their file name highlighted in Blue. Much easier to see with the light interface. Jill

Hi friends, I want to make a comparison of work in the Proshow Producer and PTE AV programs again. For example, I chose a project that I initially did for Proshow Producer. But I have long wanted to do it for PTE AV, since it demonstrates the wonderful animation capabilities of the program well. This project uses only 3 gifs and no footage at all. (Although in PTE I would have managed without gifs. I was just lazy, since I already had gifs). All animation is done using png images and several sprites. Working with animation in this program is much more convenient and I improved many processes. It is much more convenient that you can link layers without complex manipulations. This is very important in character animation, since there are many separate elements of one character. And each element is animated separately. But all this should be a single whole. Also, various special effects, such as bursting soap bubbles or glittering stars, are conveniently made with sprites. I also really like working with sound in PTE AV. Many sound effects make the video more interesting. In Proshow Producer, I had big problems adding sounds. There is a limit on adding 1 sound per slide. And if more than 1 sound is needed? I had to convert sounds to mp4 and add them as video files, setting their visibility to 0. And there was often a desynchronization with sounds. In PTE AV, I added more sounds than in the original, finally I was able to implement all my ideas! I invite you to watch. Can you guess which of the pictures are gifs? If you are interested in the project, the link for purchase is given under the YouTube video. Aleina.

I have tested various methods to display videos as live wallpaper and screen savers. Windows PTE AV Studio (publish .scr screen saver) Pot Player (free screensaver) Wallpaper Engine (wallpaper/screensaver) Push Video Wallpaper (wallpaper/screensaver) Lively Wallpaper (free wallpaper/screensaver) WinXcorners (free emulates Mac hotcorners) HideDesktopIcons (free download link) WinXcorners and HideDesktopIcons work well together to start the screensaver or show/hide the desktop icons. Mac Dynamic Wallpaper Engine (wallpaper/screensaver) I know there are other apps but I am happy with this one. Lively wallpaper can add depth map to bitmap images (like Photoshop neural filter depth blur) so the have slight parallax change during mouse movement. Thanks, Tom

Thank you so much for the review! A sprite is a sequence of images in one picture. In this thread I once explained what it is, you can have a look at it.
