Barry, Please check a speed of PTE Online Help: https://docs.picturestoexe.com/en-us/9.0/main# It's located on same server as this forum. So we can compare results. I recently changed location of DNS records and upgraded PHP from v7.0 to v7.2. Also please check speed of wnsoft.com server.

Barry, Thanks for telling me. When first time you noticed this problem? Can you compare speed of main WnSoft website and Slideshowclub?

Manuel, Thanks for this demonstration.

Hi Lin, If I understood rightly your question, PTE 10 can export slides with a transparent background to PNG image. Example (click to the image to get the original PNG file with a transparency):

Jill, This feature will appear in PTE 10. This code is already done.

Gary, We will return to this idea in future. Thanks. I also would like to see this effect.

Thanks, we plan this kind of Blur. I'm very interesting in this effect. But probably not in PTE 10.

There is one difference. Crossfade for 2 linked clips in same track is not possible. Next linked clip will cut ending of a previous clip.

OK, we can try to allow linking of several audio clips to same slide in the timeline view. Did you notice any side effects of this usage (linking audio clips in the Project Options) ? Jill, I added your suggestion to my TODO list.

Hi, Please try the following: in the Publish menu choose DVD video > in VideoBuilder click the Project Options > change Audio Format from "MPEG Audio" to "LPCM". Let me know about a result. Try to create ISO image with your disc instead of burning of a DVD in VideoBuilder. Thse options are located on the last page of VideoBuilder before you start video encoding / DVD burning. Then you can burn ISO image to a DVD media in Windows Explorer, or use ImgBurn free utility: www.imgburn.com

Well, I see your arguments. They're reasonable. I will check again for possible pitfalls for linking 2 or more audio clips to same slide on same track.

PicturesToExe 9.0.19 is available: Fixed problem with adding audio files which contain specific Unicode symbols. Fixed issue with incorrect pixel values in Image Crop parameters and Border parameter. PicturesToExe and executable shows work on Intel graphics by default in laptops with NVIDIA dual graphics (as earlier in all versions of PicturesToExe before 9.0.15). This decision is related with a poor performance of NVIDIA graphics on laptops under Windows 10 April 2018 Update (v1803). More info. Other minor improvements.

Today I checked two other laptops with NVIDIA graphics and Windows 10 April 2018 Update (v1803). 1. Laptop with Geforce 1050 + Intel graphics has same problem with poor performance. And PTE 9.0.19 (with Intel graphics by default) works better than previous version 9.0.18 (NVIDIA graphics by default). 2. Laptop with a single video card NVIDIA Geforce 1060 (no Intel graphics) works without any problem - fast and smooth. So if you consider to buy a new fast laptop, I recommend to prefer a model with a single video card - Geforce 1060. Or choose a laptop with AMD graphics. While NVIDIA and Intel didn't fix this problem, I recommend to avoid purchasing of laptops with NVIDIA + Intel dual graphics.

Regrettably NVIDIA didn't fix the problem with a slow performance of mobile NVIDIA GeForce in laptops under Windows 10 April 2018 Update (v1803). Since PTE 9.0.15 (January 2018) we used NVIDIA graphics on laptops by default to improve performance. However now with Windows 10 v1803 it caused great problem with jerky playback of PTE presentations. Same problem also occurs with Proshow presentations. It means that it's a problem in NVIDIA drivers or in Windows 10. So I see only one solution for now. Use again Intel graphics by default in laptops with NVIDIA graphics. Because it works much better than broken NVIDIA graphics. If NVIDIA (or Microsoft) will fix the problem, we can again switch to NVIDIA graphics. PTE 9.0.19 Beta: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/picturestoexe-setup.exe Users of Windows 7/8 and old versions of Windows 10 still can manually choose NVIDIA graphics for PTE for best performance. P.S. This described problem doesn't occur with desktop computers, and NVIDIA graphics works ideally well. New PTE 9.0.19 will not bring any changes for these desktop computers.

Thanks, no worries. I will check again tomorrow. Probably I forgot something about audio clips.

Can you explain in more details benefits of linking two or more audio clips on same track to same slide? If a link first audio clip to a slide, all next audio clips (on same track) automatically become linked. When you move a slide, these audio clips also is being moved. This is why the timeline view doesn't allow to link other audio clips if this track already contain one linked audio clip. The Project Options allows it, but indicates about an error (red color of an caption).

Roel, Thanks for the file. I've received your link and will download and check it on Monday.

Lin, It's strange problem. It seems that Chrome cache the DNS records for wnsoft.com and don't want to update it.

Roel, Please send me a private message through the forum with a public download link. P.S. I edited your message to exclude email.

Tom, Good idea, but it's not easy task.

Jill, Thanks, I will check this issue today later.

Lin, I moved wnsoft.com to a new server 3 days ago. Usually any changes in DNS records take 5-10 hours (up to 48 hours). Try to press Ctrl+F5 to refresh web page. Or type in a command line: ipconfig /flushdns If it does not help, restart Windows.

OK, thanks. We took a new laptop with dual NVIDIA + Intel graphics. And I will check work of PTE 9 on Windows 10 with latest update and new drivers. I hope that NVIDIA finally fixed their problem with poor performance in Windows 10 April 2018 update (v1803).

Roel, Can you send me a link to your EXE file which cause this problem?

Bert, Nowadays majority of email servers does not accept ANY executable files as attachments. You can upload file to Dropbox, Google Drive and send the link by email.
