I downloaded and checked your project Proyecto 2_Mar22-2026_9-30-44.zip (62 MB). This project includes one heavy custom transition (10 variants, 62 MB, 20 video files). It's included as Embedded transition (local project storage). It means that it's included in the project (not in the global storage). For this reason, the program doesn't clean up its resources, even if no slide uses it. This is because the transition is stored in a single, unique instance - in the project's resources. If the transition is in the program's global storage, the program (PTE AV Studio) automatically cleans up the project's resources as soon as all slides stop using it (when the project or PTE AV Studio is closed). To resolve this particular case, simply remove the transition in the list of transitions in Project Options / Slide Options and close the project. Be careful - re-check that you have a copy of this transition before deleting it. If you didn't specifically create this transition in the project's local project storage, this situation could have occurred for the following reason: 1. You created or imported a new transition into the program's global storage. 2. You used this transition in a project. 3. Then you shared a ZIP copy of the project with another user (or moved the project to a second PC). 4. PTE AV Studio always saves a local copy of the transition in the project, so you can correctly open this project on another computer where the transition isn't yet in the global storage and it won't be automatically added there. 5. Thus, the transition becomes a local transition (embedded transition). If you now stop using this transition, resource cleanup will not occur automatically.

Hi, We're planning a major improvement to a text object before the final release of version 12.0. I just want to make sure the new code works as intended before announcing it. Regarding the issue of keeping consistent text size between slides. I understand this task. But how can we implement this, if the text size depends on where the text object is added - on a slide or as a child object? Years ago we've added one solution (which, of course, isn't suitable for all cases) - a text comment. The text object has a special mode - text comment. And its size can be controlled through the Project Options (for all slides or for new slides) in the Pro version of PTE AV Studio.

Re-open this project (or restart PTE AV Studio), and the program will remove unused resources associated with this project. This works this way, because user can undo changes (Ctrl+Z) and return some transition with video resources to the project. Therefore, clearing unused resources always occurs when closing the program or closing the project (re-opening the project).

Hi, That's a good idea, thanks. But in the future V13, we plan to add multiple slide tracks, which will allow the logo to be displayed with better flexibility and customization. An universal tool would better than specialized tool.

Hi Mark, JPEG-XL support is in our plans, not sure about V12. Do you have a lot of these images or only a few? Interesting fact: JPEG format is much better suited for PTE AV Studio because it includes amazing optimization. When displaying a reduced size version of an image, such as thumbnails for the Slide List, images for a mini-player, or fullscreen previews/EXE show on a low-resolution monitor (1920x1080), the JPEG decoder loads the image in 3-4x times faster than a fullsize image. It works only for classical JPEG.

I really like the idea of multiple slide/object tracks. We've already written some of the code. One of the most important ideological questions is slide duration and transition duration. You can already see (V11) the difference in the timing concept for slides and audio clips - they are calculated differently. I'd like to discuss this topic after the release of V12.

That's a good idea. Let me think about it.

Bruno, thanks for checking!

Thanks, Bruno! Can you also check this new function: Quick Search is now accent-insensitive: typing "a" will match both "a" and "à"

Hi Jill, thanks for checking!

Hi Alex, I'm glad, thanks for the confirmation!

Glad that you like this new function! I just updated a text description in the 1st above above and added a new screenshot.

Try Beta 7. Quick Search now includes a filter for the number of images required by slide styles.

Try new Beta 7. Quick Search is now accent-insensitive: typing "a" will match both "a" and "à", for example. It works in Project Options, Slide Options, and Styles and Themes.

Jill, please try new Beta 7.
