Thanks for pointing this out wideangle! I did not realize this. Probably because I don't usually apply styles or themes to noncontiguous slides.

Rather than offering yet another explanation, I suggest you take the time to view this video. Also, for the Ken Burns theme, I have discovered that you DO NOT need 8 slides. It will work with any number. In addition, you can also chose a single slide, or multiple slides (not necessarily contiguous even) and go to "Styles and Themes", click the "Styles" button, choose "Basic" and then use any of Zoom In, Zoom Out, Pan Left, Pan Right, Pan Up, Pan Down (which is essentially what the Ken Burns effect is) and have even more control over which slides have which motion. The "Theme" is just a quick way to give motion to a large number of slides quickly. Anyway, look at the video linked below.

Nicely done, Maureen! You've captured some lovely light in those photographs and the presentation is very relaxing. Hopefully, you'll be able to capture some new travel photos again sometime in 2021. That is my hope too! Hope you are doing well!

Great video for all the new people coming from other programs. I tried to explain using themes for somebody in another thread, but this is much easier for folks to comprehend.

Easy, peasy! Select some number of slides, click on the "Styles and Themes" button at the bottom of the program. When the dialog opens, click the "Themes" button at the bottom. Choose "Main" in the left-hand column (it may be the only choice if you haven't added any themes of your own). Choose "Ken Burns effect". It says you need 8 slides, but it will actually work with fewer slides. You have options to "shuffle" the effects and/or modify some of the settings. You should be off and running. Maybe it could be documented better (although Igor added it in 2019) but the more descriptive you make the heading on your topic question, the quicker and more specific will be the answer. I'm sure most of us have never heard of "Memories On TV" so that's probably why nobody answered. Note that styles and themes are usually only the motion that happens to a single slide or group of slides once they are on screen. "Transitions" (found either under "Slide Options" or "Project Options") is what happens when moving from one slide to the next. So that even using the "Ken Burns effect" theme provided in the program ( which was created and saved with a 2 second dissolve between slides), you could still use a different transition between slides such as the "Gates" effect (or page curl, etc.) and still maintain the Ken Burns effect for the actual individual slide effect. Hope this makes it more understandable.

There are several templates for such a thing around, though I am not sure about the mouse control. Since it would be on her website, I assume it would have to be an mp4 and I don't think you can do mouse control with that. Here are links to a few: https://www.pteavstudio.com/forums/topic/24081-art-show-wintage-style/ and here:https://www.pteavstudio.com/forums/topic/24058-art-show-style/. However, to allow mouse control, you might look into 360 degree photos such as you see on FB or other apps. You can use the mouse there to move around the image and thus use it to display several works of art. I'm sure there are applications out there, such as are used by real estate companies, that allow you to do a virtual walk though of a property. You might investigate those as well.

Thanks for sharing, Tom!

Beautiful photographs! Did you take them?

I second that!! I couldn't have said it better.

Aleina, Thank you so much for your very kind comments. Jim was a wonderful person and I miss him so much, especially during this holiday season.

Paul, don't be such an ass. I hope that translates. It was only a thought. I have done enough work in PTE to be able to figure it out myself. It was just wishful thinking and I thanked the author for sharing his creation. If you are going to speak for him, try to be a little less combative.

Thank you for your explanation and for sharing your style.

Thanks for the clarification. The logo is confusing. The work done by AleAle5025 was great and I am happy to know it was done in PTE. It is a wonderful product that I have been using for about 20 years and I am happy to see that a whole new audience has found it. I'm sure it gives Igor the enthusiasm he needs to continue moving ahead to the future to develop even more capabilities that we can only dream of.

A really amazing and complex style, and also very entertaining. The skiing Santa Clause is adorable. I only wish the descriptions in the Objects & Animations tab were in English so I could understand more easily how to make alterations (like changing the background slide when Christmas season is over for use in other slideshows). In any case, thank you so much for sharing! I am curious how long it took you to put something like this together.

My thoughts exactly. And if done in PTE, what template or slide style did you use? Is it something you created? Just curious. This forum is really not for displaying creations made in ProShow.

vbl2007, Thank you so much for the download link. Looking forward to playing with the style.

Again, very interesting styles. I would love to try them out. I think they would be especially useful for some introductory slides. Please let us know when they will be available to download. Also wondering a couple of things. 1. Will it be possible to remove the lines from an image once the mosaic pieces have come together. 2. Is it possible for a mosaic style to work on a set of different images rather than just a single image. Thanks for your work and sharing.

Interesting styles! People usually just share download links here in the forum. Unless you are selling the styles, don't force people to email you. Thanks in advance.

Barry and Maureen, Thanks for taking the time to look. Check your private messages.

I recently created this show as a memorial to my husband who passed away in April. While I realize the actual content may not be of much interest to folks who didn't know him, I thought you might be interested in what can be created with PTE AV Studio. Most of the slide styles come from The Dom's "Pics Falling" style available here: https://gumroad.com/thedom

You forgot to mention that it is free, open source, and has been around a very long time. Also, it has many other uses in addition to playing video (at least the PC version). You can play audio files, you can can convert both audio and video files to other formats, you can create playlists, and many other things. Check out their website for additional info. Lots of helpful videos and a pretty decent online help system.

Rosy, I think he was referring to the size of the font on the online help web pages. John, in Windows, you can increase the size of fonts, graphics, etc. somewhat in both Chrome and MS Edge browsers by clicking Ctrl + "+". Not sure what browser you are using on the Mac. Mary

Very nicely done Mark! I really liked your black and white conversions and the way you faded the historical photos in and out. Either you were fortunate to visit when there were few tourists, or you spent a great deal of time healing and cloning to remove them. I visited back in 2015 and while there's just nothing that conveys the horror, sadness and misery quite like being there, your show certainly sets the mood. I can see why it won so many awards. Mary

Nicely done. Lovely photos, as always. I too noticed the echo and have noticed it in the last few tutorials you have created. A different microphone, setup or location perhaps?
