Do you use Beta 9 now? If yes, please send me this project (a full backup copy). Main menu > File > Create backup in a ZIP.

Jill, I agree, something wrong with changing/adding first keyframe and scale of the timeline. Please wait, we'll improve the code.

Please try a simple idea - create a smooth video slowdown, a pause (1 s), and then a smooth resume of playback. I showed how to do this in the screenshot below. First, make sure you are using the new version - Beta 9. 1. Tick "Speed keypoints" option. 2. Add 4 keypoints, as shown on the screenshot. 3 Click the OK button to save the result. Check the preview in the Objects and animation editor and the Mini player in the main window.

Dave, Ealier, slide duration never changed automatically when the duration of a video object changed. Because a slide may contain other objects with their own durations. The only case when a slide duration automatically updates is when replacing a video object file name throught the Open file window, if its duration matched the slide duration. You need to tick an option "Speed keyframes" before adding any speed keypoints in the timeline.

Hi, I apologize it took so long! In the new version 12.0 Beta 9, we've added full support for HEIC images to PTE AV Studio. Please try it out and let me know how it works. https://www.pteavstudio.com/forums/forum/91-pte-av-studio-12-beta/

We published V12 Beta 9 with HEIC image support for Windows today. Now HEIC supported on a PC and Mac.

I think that we solved this in the new Beta 9 today.

Please try new Beta 9 released today.

Hi, try new Beta 9.

Beta 9 is available See the download links above. Added HEIC image support for Windows - the format used by iPhone for storing photos by default. Now available on both Windows and macOS. Added AVIF image support for Windows and macOS. AV1 video export is now 18% faster with slightly better quality and smaller file size. AV1 video playback is now hardware accelerated on Mac with Apple M3/M4/M5 chips, significantly reducing CPU load. Improved the Trim and Adjust speed window (for a video object). Fixed an issue with clearing unused resources of a project (slide style or custom transition). Fixed an issue where the program froze when a project contained a missing video file.

Mark, did you mean standard JPEG-XL images as .jxl files, or JPEG-XL from iPhone? JPEG-XL from iPhone is a DNG file containing both RAW data and an embedded JPEG-XL image.

Hi, I'm testing HEIC images support for a PC (Windows) in PTE AV Studio right now. If all is OK, we'll add it for V12 soon. It was not easy to support this tricky format! Interesting fact, a typical HEIC image file from your iPhone contains a grid of 48 small video fragments (4 x 8 tiles - 512 x 512 pixels short video clips which contain 1 frame, still picture) + meta data (rotation, color profile, thumbnail picture). I discoverd that even latest IrfanView cannot display correctly colors in HEIC images, colors are distorted slightly.

Hi, Please wait for Beta 9. We'll publish it within 2 days. We've added many improvements to this editor. Also we updated video decoders/encoders in Beta 9.

I thought you needed a simple way to merge several video files. Then PTE AV Studio would probably be suitable for adding transitions between videos.

Just an idea. Try PTE Video Optimiser. It can combine several video files into one.
