Hi, Today we installed a new macOS 12 Monterey Beta 1 on our Mac Mini with M1 chip. PTE AV Studio 10.5 works fine on Monterey. No problems. Fast and smooth. PTE AV Studio already has a native support for Apple M1 chip with the best performance. A final version of macOS 12 Monterey should be ready around October this year for all Mac users.

Hi, You need to install the latest update - 9.0.22 from WnSoft website > Download > Previous versions page.

Hi Bill, We’re glad to see you again, thanks for waiting the Mac version of PTE!

Hi William, I'm very glad! Thanks for your feedback. Igor P.S. PTE AV Studio already has a native support for Apple M1 chip and the best performance on new M1 Macs.

Hi, Version 10.5 is a free update for all users who have version 10.0.xx. Just download and install the new version from WnSoft website. If you have Auto Update notifications, PTE AV Studio 10.0.14 should show you a message about the new version 10.5 and Mac version. Version 10.5 contains more changes and improvements than usual minor update, so we decided not to offer it through the Auto Update installation. Just install it manually.

Thank, Paul! Looks great. May I suggest to re-upload the style in a ZIP archive? By default, Windows and Mac cannot unpack RAR archives.

iPhone, other smartphones and some traditional cameras add a special meta-tag about an angle of rotation (position). PTE AV Studio 10+ reads this tag and rotates a video clip automatically to show it correctly.

Denis, Thanks, we'll check again.

PTE 10 automatically recognizes portrait videos and automatically rotates it and shows correctly. I recorded several test videos with my iPhone at different rotate position and all videos were shows correctly. You can always rotate video manually in the Objects and animation editor. Probably in future versions we'll add a quick access to rotation for a video clip.

Yes, you're right. "Pause when slideshow window becomes inactive" option is enabled by default for all projects, so it will work acording description in this case. I will ask to add a small correction for the Online help.

Hi, Try a new PTE AV Studio 10.5.2 Beta: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/pteavstudio-setup.exe This version adds support for variants of fonts installed in Windows. Earlier some fonts in a font family were not available in PTE AV Studio. Fixed problem with cloning a custom transition immediately after importing. Let me know about results of testing.

Tom, Thanks for checking!

You can try a new test version for Mac: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/PTE-AV-Studio.dmg Now Option+G inserts a copyright symbol for a Text object. This version will be published officially later.

Hi, Thanks for letting us know about this issue. In the next update (10.5.2) Option + G will insert a copyright symbol. Use a temporary solution as suggested above.

Thanks, we'll check again next week.

Phil, Try the following. 1. Restart macOS. 2. Find "Application Support" folder on your Mac. It is shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a10BiE9t7RY Instead of "peterjoh" folder it will be your Mac name folder. 3. Then in Application Support > PTEAVStudio > Versions > 10.5. Delete "10.5" folder. 4. Try to run PTE AV Studio again.

Hi Phil, 1. Tell me about a configuration and name of your Mac. 2. Do I understand rightly that you successfully used first Mac version 10.5 and the problem occured with 10.5.1? 3. Can you try to run a sample show on your Mac? Download and install PTE AV Player: https://www.wnsoft.com/en/pte-av-studio/pte-av-player/ Download a sample show in .pteav file: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/shows/Sample-Project-Win10-5.pteav Then run PTE AV Player, you should see an Open file window. Choose Sample-Project-Win10-5.pteav file to open an run the show. Will it work?

Hi, Restart your Mac. Remove PTE AV Studio and reinstall from DMG image again, copy PTE AV Studio icon to Applications. 2. If it doesn't help, try to unmount all external drives (network drives) to see if it helps to run PTE AV Studio. Let me know about results.

I'm glad! Thanks for the confirmation.

Hi Clive, Do you have a final version of PTE AV Player for Mac? Download and install the latest version: https://www.wnsoft.com/en/pte-av-studio/pte-av-player/ Then run the Player manually from Applications. It will associate the Player with .pteav shows. Or you can try to run PTE AV Player from Applications, and when the Open file window appears, choose your show.

I compared both versions 10.0.14 and 10.5.1 and hear no difference with my simple project based on your WAV audio. I click Preview button to play the show from beginning. Do you observe this problem if encode a MP4 video? In both versions. Probably other members can check this project?

Thanks, I created a simple test project with your WAV file. And I don't see/hear any problem in PTE 10.5.1 Synchronization is perfect in a preview / EXE. testWAV_Apr29-2021_15-53-44.zip

You can send us a sample WAV file for checking.

I found this style on Barry's forum here. This style doesn't use "Scale key frames..." mode. Please create as possible simpliest style with ticked option "Scale..." and send me it. We'll check it.

Barry, Since version 8.0 we introduced scalable key frames enabled by default for all new projects and slides. In the Slide Options you can see an option "Scale key frames in objects (on time change)" option (enabled by default). Some users prefer an old conception of key frames with absolute time positions and possibility to link key frames at the end of current transition and beginning of next transition. And also beginning/ending of a slide. When a key frame as placed at one these 4 points you may see plus (+) sign in the timeline. For compatibility, we add an option "Scale key frames in objects (on time change)" which can be turned off. However we highly recommended to use "Scale key frames..." mode for slides intended for a slide style. It was hard to support both conception of keyframes and provide a support for all possible combinations, especially in slide styles. This style "4 Image and text option" does NOT use "Scale key frames..." mode and when you apply it for your slides, PTE unticks "Scale key frames..." option for the applied slide in your project. I recommend to modify and recreate this style and use "Scale key frames..." mode in its slide. We'll check the code, but I'm not sure that it will be easy to fix it.
