Hi, Do you mean PTE AV Studio, or this forum, or uploading videos to YouTube?

Try a new Beta 28. It fixes issues with a vertical red cursor in the Timeline view.

I agree that red vertical cursor looks blurry in the Light Mode. It's OK in the Dark Mode. We'll fix the issue with a mouse click.

Paul, thanks, we'll fix it.

Honestly, I hardly see this difference with a red vertical line. It's sub-pixel differing, because we wanted to make it thicker for high DPI resolutions and especially for Macs with Retina displays. Also we wanted to make a smooth moving of the cursor during a playback. Do you use 100% font scaling in Windows or higher? I'll check with saving custom presets of a shadow.

Hi, Since Beta 27, PTE AV Studio 10.5 creates identical universal .ptshow files for Mac or Windows. We added a change in the code of launcher on Windows. On Mac you open and play .ptshow file in a free PTE AV Player. For Windows you create a ZIP archive with .ptshow file and launcher. You can copy this EXE launcher to open any .ptshow file created on/for Windows or Mac.

Actually we planned to rework it in future version 11.0. But I see that many users complaint that it's difficult to recognize a bold font in the File List. I understand these users. We're not ready to introduce deep changes, because we need to finish the Mac version. The journey with Mac version seems to be too long

This problem is fixed in Beta 27.

Hi, We added an experimental improvement in the new v10.5 Beta 27 for Windows and Mac. Earlier files added as main images/videos in the Slide List were marked by a bold font in the File List. Now we additionally set a different file caption color to help you more easily recognize them in the File list. It works in the Dark Mode and in the classical Light Mode. Let me know what you think?

Mark, I can't reproduce this issue on Mac or Windows. Did you try to add the same video in a new test project? In a new project, I add a new video clip as Slide1. Set "Master video track". Then copy and paste this slide as Slide2 (it automatically becomes libnked video). Or I add the same video clip as Slide2 and link it manually with Master video clip. All works fine.

PTE Online Help is working now: https://docs.pteavstudio.com/ All our services are recovered now.

We recovered all other services on this server and now we plan to recover PTE Online Help. I have the full backup created two days ago.

Hi, Our server with the forum, support page and online documention didn't work past 27 hours due to a large fire in OVH's data centre in Strasbourg: https://www.theregister.com/2021/03/10/ovh/ We apologize for this problem! Our main website was not affected, because it's located in another location. Thousands of servers are destroyed complety. I could recover the forum from a backup copy created 5 days ago. There is a chance that our original server was not destroyed, because it was located in SBG1 building (33% servers were destroyed in SBG1, and all servers were destroyed in SBG2 building). But OVH promissed to run SBG1 data centre only next week (with a chance of 33% to find a working server). So we decided to run the forum as soon as possible. I apologize for the lost messages during last several days. We'll reconfigure daily backups.

Jean Cyprien, Thanks, I confirm this issue. We'll check this code today.

Laszlo, Can you send me your icon file? I tried with my icon files and EXE show were created correctly.

Laszlo, Can you save a copy of this project and simplify it as possible? Remove slides and audio files while this problem still can be reproduced. Then use Create a backup in a ZIP command and send me this project. We'll check it. You can use WeTransfer.com to send me a download link in a personal message.

Tom, Thanks for sharing these results! P.S. PTE for Mac has a native support of Apple M1 chip. It gives a maximum performance and power efficiency.

Philip, Thanks for the confirmation. I'm glad. You can use current Beta, it's a stable version. We plan to release it as a final version soon.

Currently PC version of .ptshow file includes video/audio decoders. We plan to move them to an EXE launcher (if necessary).

Tom, We're thinking on this possibility. Technically it's possible.

Hi John, Can you easily reproduce this problem again? If yes, try the following option: in the main menu > Settings > Preferences > System tab. Tick the option "Alternate renderer...". Click the OK button and restart PTE. Does it help to solve that issue?

Dave, Version 10.5 for Windows will replace 10.0.14. We'll keep a link for 10.0.14 just in case on the Old versions page.

Hi, We plan to publish a Release Candidate version 10.5 for Windows and Mac within a week

New Beta version will keep your existing version 10.0.14 automatically. Just untick the option "Associate with .pte project files" during the installation to keep projects with the old version (when you double click in the Explorer).

Next Beta.
