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.

I think I'm confused Am I correct in understanding that you need to change the duration for editing and preview in the new custom transition editor? I just want to remind you that in any case, the end user will see your transition with the duration set in Project Options (Slide Options). Typically, this is 2 seconds. Of course, user can change this duration. If you want a fixed transition duration (9s, for example), it's better to include the transition in the slide style.

Hi, Thanks for checking the new Chroma Key. Glad that it works better now. You can choose any frame of a video in the Chroma Key window to select a chroma key color, using the scrubber in the video player. Usually the chroma key color doesn't change in short video footages. It's enough to pick one background color once.

Just to make sure I understand you correctly - are you saying that in the custom transition editor you need the ability to change the preview duration (to see how current custom transition looks at different speeds)? Or is the issue that when user apply this custom transition, it uses the default duration from Project Options (Slide Options), usually 2 seconds?

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.

Hi, Try new Beta 12. Chroma Key works again. Also we 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: https://www.pteavstudio.com/forums/topic/52130-pte-av-studio-12-beta-12/#findComment-196412

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

Hi, This is the correct behavior of PTE AV Studio, as designed. However, you can preserve the original slide order if you apply a style that requires 1 image. In the style settings, tick the option "Keep slide order" option and click the Apply button.

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, 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,

We've fixed this issue today. Please wait for Beta 12 with other improvements.

Hi, thanks for your message. We'll fix it in the next Beta 12 soon.

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.
