Hi Ken, Try the following. In the VideoBuilder window click the Project Options button. Change "Audio format" mode to "LPCM" (or to MPEG Audio, if it was LPCM). Burn a new DVD-Video disc. We recommend to consider a MP4 video output with HD quality as a replacement for a DVD. All flat TVs can play MP4 video files from USB memory stick. Or sometimes even from a DVD/CD media (recorded as a data disk).

Gary, I agree with you, a simple rotation inside the picture borders would be a very useful addition for many users. Let me think more on this issue.

Gary, We can only apply cropping to the edges of the image. It's done in Framing parameters for an Image object. Rotation is not compatible with these parameters. Sorry. It requires using of a Mask container. In theory we can do it in the internal code to keep things simple for users.

Gary, I understand your task, it would be useful for many users. Check Google Photos on a PC in web browser. It allows to rotate an image. When you rote the picture, it automatically adjust the size to avoid appearing black strips/triangles around the object borders.

Hi Gary, Yes, I remember about your suggestion. I think that when you talk about this rotation option, you also mean applying auto-sizing to the image to avoid black bars/triangles appearing around the edges of the object?

Hi, Today we installed the first Beta version of the new macOS 15 Sequoia, which Apple announced yesterday, on our Mac with Apple Silicon. At first glance, PTE AV Studio 11 works correctly.

Hi, Try the new version 11.0.13 Build 3: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/pteavstudio-setup.exe We fixed this problem.

Hi, Thanks for your message. I see the problem. It's somehow related with certain parametes. I couldn't reproduce it my new slide style, but this issue can re reproduced with your style. Give us some time to learn the code.

We have a good progress with version 12.0.

I agree. Should we add this change to PTE 12? There is some issue with existing projects. If somebody mistakenly enabled a Blur for a child object and its parent object separately, then the Blur appear for the child object, too.

Hi, Yes, it has worked like this since version 8.0. Blurring is not inherited for child objects. Do you think it's inconsistent and should be reworked?

Hi Gary, All smartphones and cameras use hardware video encoders which should work in real time, and this applies certain limitations. To reach the best visual quality (less artefacts) these encoders set the highest bitrate (about 100 MBit for 4K videos). And this high bitrate is used for any kind of scenes - with many fine details (trees), or for scenes with less details (sky, snow, walls, etc). Software video encoders have more time for more effective use of bitrate. PTE AV Studio uses the newest smart mode of a video encoder which dynamically changes a bitrate according details in a video scene for each frame. It works like a JPEG compression in Photoshop where you set say "10" of compression quality and resulting JPEG file has different file size according pixel size and fine details in a picture. In other words, "High quality" preset (100%) in PTE gives a similar result as using "10" in Photoshop for saving JPEG. Try to create a new simple project with blank images and one text caption on each picture. No transitions (quality transition) for each slide. Encode a MP4 video in PTE with 1920 x 1080, High quality, 60p. I guess that you'll get a MP4 video file about 300-500 KB (less than 1 MB). Then replace blank images with JPEG pictures of landscapes/flows/trees and the resulting MP4 video will be about 10-20 MB. Add Dissolve transitions or any Pan/Zoom animations and MP4 file will be 30-50 MB. Then add videos, and file size will be 50-150 MB.

Thanks for this demonstation. Glad that V11 was useful for this task.

Hi, I agree that a possibility to rename a project template in PTE AV Studio would be a good function for the next version.

Dave, Jill, Let me check on Monday again and answer a little later.

OK, Dave UPD. In existing versions you can undo this change (deleting) by clicking the Cancel button in the Preferences.

PTE AV Studio 11.0.13 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 Fixed an issue with memory leaks on laptops with Intel Iris Xe graphics during video clip playback. This problem exists in the latest Intel graphics drivers on 12-gen and 13-gen Intel Core CPU. We’ve found an alternative solution and informed Intel engineers about this issue (PC only). Mac version includes an updated EXE player for a PC. The installation files are the same as recent public Beta version. Mac users can skip this update.

I'm glad! Thanks for the confirmation and your help with checking. You can continue to use this updated version. We'll release it as v11.0.13 soon.

Hi, We found a solution to this problem (memory leak and freezing). This issue occured on Intel UHD graphics (12-gen and 13-gen Intel Core CPU) with the latest graphics drivers. Please try the new version 11.0.11, build 3: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/pteavstudio-setup.exe It was a bug in the Intel graphics drivers. We have found a workaround and I just sent a report to Intel engineers.

We reproduced this problem on our computer with integrated Intel graphics 12-gen CPU and new Intel graphics drivers. We'll try to fix it quickly.

Hi, I found an interesting online service - Suno Ai generates music (with or without lyrics) based on your text prompt: https://app.suno.ai/ They introduced improved V3 a week ago. Free version is allowed for non-commercial use. And the paid version generates music that belongs to you.

You can create 2 versions of your shows - 30p for compatibility with some old TVs and 60p for all TVs. Many TVs automatically convert/improve 30p video to 60p or 120p when you watch a video. Read about Motion Interpolation in Wikipedia.

Hi, Let me know version of PTE AV Studio which you used to create 60p videos. And exact model name of your TV.

Jill, Thanks for your advice regarding NVIDIA option! I've received a message from the user that it solved the problem. We'll try to find a similar laptop to explore this issue with default settings.

Hi Ken, No worries. Glad that it worked correctly.
