Barry, Can you try a new Beta version: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/picturestoexe-setup.exe

It may depends on nature of a transition effect. Only Quick transition (no transition) gives instant result. Probably you mean another problem. Please publish a short test project where we can see this issue.

We fixed this problem. It happened in case of certain non-latin letters in filenames of audio files. Please try a new Beta version: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/picturestoexe-setup.exe Let me know about a result.

I confirm this problem with encoding of a video. We'll fix this problem in the next update. Please wait a little. Thanks!

Ray, Does this problem occur with all new MP4 video files created in PTE 9 ? Try to play projects (MP4) with different durations - 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 24 minutes. Send me any sample video which has this problem with your TV. I will check on my TVs. P.S. You can also try to create MP4 video with custom parameters - 1-pass bitrate (say 5000 kbps). Or try 48 KHz for audio instead of 44 Khz. Will it help?

Please try to create as possible short and simple project to reproduce this problem. And send me all project files in a ZIP archive. I'll check. You can use Dropbox or Google Drive to send me a download link.

Can you reproduce again this error message?

Hi Ray, 1. Can you try to rebuild MP4 video file for this project? Does it solve the problem? 2. Also please try with another USB flash drive (just in case). 3. If nothing helps, try to create AVI video file. Does it play correctly? 4. What parameters you choosed for video encoding? 1920 x 1080, 30p, High Quality or custom mode?

Hi Luc, Does this problem with sound occur with all projects, or with projects which has certain long duration? 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour? Will it work for a short project, say 1 minute?

Hi Jill, Sorry for the delay with my replies, I caught a cold recently and couldn't work at PC several days. Please send me this project (all files in a ZIP and EXE), I will check for this problem.

Hi, Please make sure that you have the latest version 9.0.12: https://www.wnsoft.com/en/picturestoexe/download/ There was a similar problem in v9.0. which we fixed recently.

Hi Barry, I confirm the problem with copying text from PTE to another text editor. But I see slightly different problem - all copied text lines are being converted into an one text line. We'll fix it. Thanks! P.S. I moved this topic to Troubleshooting.

Hi, Please can you reproduce this problem and tell me how to see this error?

Hello Shirley, Call "Save As" for this project to remove this text from the caption. "Recovered Project" title appears if PicturesToExe crashed or it was terminated with Task Manager. Let me know exact version of PicturesToExe which you use. And tell me more about error messages which you discovered earlier.

Hello George, I'm glad that your solved this problem. Probably it was related with incorrect work of one (or both) antiviruses. I'm not sure that 2 antivirus can work correctly at same time.

George, I apologize for this problem with slow run of EXE files with presentations on your PC. 1. Do you assign a custom icon for an EXE file (in the Project options -> Advanced tab) ? If yes, try to remove an icon and re-build the EXE file. 2. What antivirus software you use on your computer? Try to temporarily turn it off to compare speed of running EXE files. 3. Do you run the EXE file from a local hard drive (or SSD) or from network drive (WD MyCloud, etc) ?

Example: 1. Text with 50% opacity 2. Text with 100% opacity in a mask container with 50% opacity. Sample project: TextOpacity.pte TextOpacity.pte

Tom, There is a temporary complicated solution: Use a mask for a text with a shadow (100% opacity) and then adjust opacity of a mask container.

Tom, I think it will be possible in PTE 10. We plan to add a inheriable (optionally) opacity for child objects. It allows to create an effect which you want to see.

Gary, I plan to try again re-configure the server and increase the limit to 273 MB.

Dave, I cleared some old messages. It should be OK now. Please try again. Thanks,

Hi, Yes, we need to use exactly same version of PTE for all EXE files. It's related with compatibility.

PicturesToExe 9.0.12 is available: Fixed problem with “Go to slide...” command if “Slide name” (in the Slide options) was cleared manually. Fixed problem with sorting of some custom slide styles in alphabetical order. Fixed problem with changing of a text caption for “Blank…” slide styles in “Caption” category. Fixed problem with incorrect view of custom transition effects which have multiple variants in executable files for PC or Mac. Fixed problem with incorrect show of transition effects for slides with “Default transition” in some rare cases. Fixed problem with incorrect indexes of main images after copying and pasting objects to another slide. Fixed problem with a position of the cursor in a text box for a Text object in the Objects and animation editor. Increased height of a text box in the Objects and animation editor for High DPI screen mode (125% and more).

Dave, Yes, it's unofficial feature of Slide styles window.

Barry, Thanks for letting me know. This error is not related with a test version 9.0.12. I think it could happen because antivirus or some software program temporarily locked an access to one of files during creating of an EXE file. We'll try to catch this situation to show more correct error message.
