I think a new sub-forum for "audio" is a very good suggestion too.

Hi Igor, Thank you for your comment, it means a lot to me. I can't wait for v8 and its slide styles feature ! :-P

Excellent demo MUR ! It reminds me of what JPD released. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Adda ! I have high expectations with this feature too. I can't wait :-P

Thanks Lin ! I will include blur effects when v8 beta 1 is available...

Most of the animations are enhancements of what I have already done in the past, but I tried to improve the effects, shadows, depth and reflections. To watch the video in HD, click on the "Youtube" logo at the bottom of the video, then click on the "parameter" icon and choose "1080P". And finally click on the "full screen" icon.

Hi, Actually, you can use a trick to apply a mask to a whole project using the "show copyright logo" feature. Follow these three simple steps. 1 - Go to "Project Options" | "Control" tab | "Show Copyright logo" ticked | Click on "Customize logo..." 2 - Then choose the mask you want to apply by clicking on the little folder icon and locate the file on your hard drive. 3 - Finally, set the following parameters : - size : 100 - offset : 0 You can choose an other opacity for your icon (=mask). Please find project attached as an example :-) thedom-icon_as_a_mask.zip

Very good job Mark ! In my opinion, some of your pictures are a little bit too oversaturated for my taste. But they are very nice anyway. I purchase HDR Pro. It's a very nice easy to use transportable solution to make HDR Pictures. Thank you for letting us know :-)

Thanks Tom. I am sure this blur feature will let us make beautiful things. I already have a few ideas in mind...

There is a lot of work on the 3D shapes, the shadows, the dynamic reflections and the lens flare effects to make it "realistic". To watch the video in HD, click on the "Youtube" logo, then click on the "parameter" icon and choose "1080P". And finally click on the "full screen" icon.

Thanks Lin. I will try to use PTE more often to be sure I don't loose anything ;-) And the next version with the blur feature is very exciting !

Thanks, glad to be back too ! :-) The animation is quite simple but it will "work" to make a quick presentation with a lot of pictures, whatever the subjects.

Hi Phil, Thank a lot for the compliment. I will try to stay close...

Thanks Tom. It's very difficult to make a template for video because it depends on its length. But I guess it's possible. About blur feature, Igor was kind enough to let me know a few weeks ago by sendinf me a mail. You're right, this is THE fetaure I was waiting for a long time ! I think it will open new artistic ideas and a lot of fun.

Thanks Barry, Actually, I uploaded the video on YouTube in HD. To see it in HD : - On the video in my original post, click on the YouTube icon. It will open a new window and the video will start automacally. - Click on the "change quality" icon and choose 1080p - Then click on the "full size" icon.

Here is an other demo. I started to work on it a long time ago and never finished it. It's still work in progress. The main part is ended but I will add an opening and a closing sequence of the book. Pictures are mine but it's a mix of photograpy taken in Britain and in Australia. The project will work perfectly with landscape and portrait pictures mixed. Please let me know what you think. Thanks.

Oops, you're right, it seems there is a big problem with the downloads. Please watch the demo on YouTube :

Hello all, I didn't used PTE for more than a year. Here is a new work inspired by an app I saw on a smartphone. The pictures used are mainly wallpaper included with my copy of windows 7. I made an intensive use of masks to be able to use this project as a template whatever the format of the pictures. That's why it might be jerky on older pc. You can download this short demo (1 minute long) on my website : http://thedom.fr/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&Itemid=54&task=view.download&cid=290 EDIT : exe not available. Here is the video :

You would still have complete control... Just do not check the option when creating the exe ;-)

Thanks Lin, your comment counts for double for me :-)

Hi Lin, thanks. I know about this workaround that works petfectly well. I just want to know if the feature to work DIRECTLY with the audio of the video is planed or not. But I agree it's absolutely not required, at least not a priority at all :-)

I have no idea how a converted video is saved, but yes, I mean "actual" size to reduce the size of the exe. If you vote "No", please explain why you are against the idea. I think it would be a nice timesaver for not "serious" slideshow. Anyway, it would be only an option when creating an exe. Thanks :-)
