Try to change an option "Automatic Graphics Switching" for your VM in Parallels: https://kb.parallels.com/122807 and also try different Memory option (Automatic, or manual value - at least 2 GB).

Thanks, Tom! I think that Windows 11 will became a significant milestone, because it's first Windows for ARM CPUs with an emulation of Intel/AMD code including old 32-bit and 64-bit apps. We should see coming of laptops with ARM chips and Windows which work longer from battery. We have a good example from Apple, where a transit from Intel CPU to ARM chip (M1) went very well. The only problem of Windows 11 are unreasonably high CPU requirements for existing PCs - AMD Ryzen 2 or newer, and Intel 8-gen which were manufactured about 2017-2018 or later. This will delay deploying of Windows 11.

We fixed the problem with a chroma key for a video clip. The new version will be available soon.

No worries. Good luck!

Hi Jim, We cannot guarantee a correct work of PTE AV Studio in Parallels emulation. However I know that at least several users successfully used PTE AV Studio with Parallels and Windows on Mac. Try the following in your virtual machine with Windows. It enables alternate 3D renderer for PTE AV Studio: 1. Create a new shortcut for PTE AV Studio on the desktop. Or simply reinstall the app. 2. Click right mouse button on the shortcut and call Properties window. Add -alternate3d after the last quote in the field of program file name For example, on my PC it looks as: "C:\Program Files\WnSoft\PTE AV Studio 10.5\Main\PTEAVStudio.exe" -alternate3d 3. Run PTE AV Studio 10.5

Hi Jim, Did you install version 10.5.x on Windows? Because an old version 10.0.14 is not compatible with Mac projects. UPD. I checked your project saved on Mac, it opens fine in the latest version 10.5.3 on Windows.

Does this problem with a sound of a video clips, or sound of audio files (MP4, WAV, OGG, WMA, M4A) ? Can you create a test simple project with several images and add one MP3 audio file. Will it work correctly? If the problem occurs with a certain video or audio file, can you send us this file? If yes, please upload the file to WeTransfer.com or Google Drive and send me a download link (in your reply, or in a personal message).

Hi Jim, Thanks, please let me know if it will occur again. It's possible that this memory leak may appear with a certain combination of project files, animations and use of PTE AV Studio. Once we firmly reproduce it, the problem should be solved quickly.

Hi Shirley, Create a MP4 video in PTE AV Studio. Then install a free app (MP3tag) from a link above. This app will allow you to replace a thumbnail picture for your MP4 video file. Original quality of a video will be kept untouched.

Hi, Download the latest free update 10.5.3: https://www.wnsoft.com/en/pte-av-studio/download/ If the problem still occurs, let us know.

Barry, I apologize for this problem. The most likely, it's a coincidence. Photoshop should not affect to PTE AV Studio. If this issue will occur again, please recommend to restart Windows. Styles are located in Documents folder, by default. If user doesn't create or import custom styles, he can try to delete Styles and transitions folder in Documents and then run PTE AV Studio. UPD. Fixed a typo.

If you earlier had a problem with a playback of MP4 4K 60p video on 4K TV, please try this new version. This problem occured rarely and was related with a hardware limitation for a maximum allowed peak bitrate in some TVs.

Thanks, I'll wait for results. When that problem occurs, does it help to change a folder in the File List to cure the problem? Or you should restart the app?

Hi, PTE AV Studio 10.5.4 Beta is available. What's New: Improved compatibility for created 4K videos with some 4K TVs. Fixed problem with too high bitrate in a MP4 video created with custom ‘Bitrate’ mode (Mac version only).

Hi, Amazing style, looks very nice. Thanks! Can I suggest a small improvement? Add soft start and stop (smooth speed modifier) for a camera motion.

Hi Pete, Thanks for letting us know about this issue. Can you try a previous update 10.5.2? https://files.wnsoft.com/test/pteavstudio-setup-10.5.2.exe If yes, please let me know about a result. There wer some optimizations in the code of the File list in current version 10.5.3.

Hi Tom, Thanks, Yes, PTE AV Studio 10.5 actively uses tile rendering on Mac and Windows. It improves speed, smoothness, reduced GPU usage and save energy.

John, Glad that your resolved this issue. The most likely the old file was corrupt. Versions 10.0 and 10.5 have the same level of support for video files. Correctly created M4V videos should be supported. In case of any problem, you can use a free converter HandBrake to convert and optize an original video file.

John, What version of PTE you use? See the comment above. If you have an older version, try to rename .M4V file to .MP4. It may help. Usually M4V means that this file contains only video stream without audio.

Tom, Thanks for testing. It's a very complex system of loading/caching for textures/images in system memory and GPU memory. File links for recently opened files don't consume memory.

I would grateful for any help with this issue.

I can't reproduce memory leaks on Mac Mini M1 yet. I opened the Objects and animation editor with several images, including Blur effect (I applied "Floating pictures" slide style) and opened Activity monitor. Memory usage of PTE didn't change at all in a half a hour. Send me a test project (as simple as possible) where you can observe any memory leaks. Also when you check for this problem, try to browse another folder in the File list panel. I opened a local folder with 30 JPEG images. Also let me know - if you keep PTE AV Studio window working in foreground or it minimized to the Dock.

Hi, Thanks for your report. I confirm the problem with a chrome key video in the Mac version. We'll fix it in the next update (10.5.4).

PTE AV Studio 10.5.3 is available for PC and Mac Download: https://www.wnsoft.com/pte-av-studio/download/ Or use Auto Update feature: Main menu > Help > Check for Free Updates. Improved work of the File List for a folder with a large number of images. When you scroll files in the folder, thumbnails faster appear on the screen. Fixed problem with a preview of cloned custom transition located in a project storage.

Yes, PTE AV Studio works on High Sierra. Note that your Mac should be Late 2012 or newer. Because PTE AV Studio requires Metal graphics support. You can install a free trial version from WnSoft website.
