Unfortunately, in my case I didn't copy those 3 files. So I shall try manually installing each slide style.

Hi DG. I think you have solved my problem. No I did not include the 1st 3 items that you have highlighted. I guess there is no other solution other than trying to manually enter each slide style into PTE. I have 1600 of them. Thank you, Rosemary

Thank you so much DaveGee and Igor. I have tried to follow your clear screen shots, Dave but alas, no luck with PTE recognizing the pathway. I have found where I think PTE is storing the slide styles. They are on one drive but all that is there is the slide styles which come with the program. I have tried to create a pathway to my folder of the complete list of my slide styles on my F drive - not successful. I have copied the slide style folder to C drive which is where the PTEAv Studio is installed. Still only the styles which come with the program can be accessed. Rosemary

Seismic Guy, I couldn't agree more! I have a lot of slide styles and followed the excellent advise to store them in a separate folder in case of need. Now I need them but cannot work out how to get them back into PTE. Definitely needs attention. Rosemary

Hi, I have got my new drive installed and it seems to be working well! I still don't know how to get PTE AV Studio to recognize my slide styles which are in a separate folder. When I open the folder of styles all I see are numbers, no names. Can anyone help me to access them through PTE. I am using Windows 11 Thanks, Rosemary

Thanks Jill and SeismicGuy. Your idea would probably work, Jill. Unfortunately, we have found out that my drive is not working and was storing its contents on my back up drive. More investigations are needed! Rosemary

I have updated my computer and I now find that my slide styles have not transferred over to PTE. Luckily I have the slide styles in a separate folder but do not know how to get them back into PTE. I have lots of styles so would prefer to add them all at the same time if possible and not individually. Can this be achieved and if so how? Thanks everyone, Rosemary

Thanks guys. I am just grateful that the shows are stored and in my case, on the same drive as PTE when the computer is up and running I shall search for the templates folders. Rosemary

Hi, I recently updated to Windows 11. I have my programs on C drive and my pictures on F drive. We got the C drive transferred without problem but F we tried to download from the cloud (my computer was too old to transfer the hard drive from old to new so we had to resort to the cloud) We have so many pics on F that BackBlaze gave up! I was panicking thinking I would lose my shows made over the last years. I was so thankful that when I opened PTE and clicked on Templates, my shows popped up. I can only assume that the pictures are stored in the program. Thank you Igor and team. Lesson - make templates of every show. Rosemary

Thank you for sharing this beautiful show. I hope you have a Happy Holiday season and a Happy 2025 Rosemary

Thank you Jill. Easy when you know how! Merry Christmas to you and your family. Rosemary

I have merged 3 video clips into one. How do I save the new clip? I cannot see a "save as" option. Rosemary

I took some video of a local storm we had on Tuesday using my cell phone. I then used Video Optimizer to brighten and stabilize the video. I found that even with my limited skills, the program was easy to navigate. Congratulations Igor and team. I look forward to being able to access the Video Optimizer through PTE Rosemary

Hi Jt49. Thank you for getting back to me. Your method works well except I have over 1000 styles and when I try to export them from PTE it takes a long time. The slidestyles window in PTE is slow to open so it would take forever unless I am doing the export wrong. Rosemary

Thanks Denis. You have solved my problem. Just double click on the style number and then double click on Style.xml and amongst the data is the style name. Rosemary

Thank you Igor. I can find the Styles folder fine but how do you identify which style is which? The styles are not named - just numbers. I can only assume that I am missing something. Rosemary

I decided to make a copy of all my slide styles. When I go to PTE via Windows C, Users, Computer ID, Documents, Pictures to Exe, Styles all I see is a list of Slide style numbers. How do I identify an individual slide style eg Left to Right Flip? Thanks everyone, Rosemary

Thank you Alex. These slide styles are great. It has been so long since I used the program that I had to think hard about how to change/add the picture. I need to get out and about and get some new pictures! Rosemary

Thank you. What a work of art the hall is. It is also good to see how others present slideshows of buildings. Great job and thanks for sharing. Rosemary

Thank you Alex. Great work and and slide styles. They are most useful. Rosemary

I hope that PTE12 has a new text module where one can preset the text size for a show. The option for outlining the text, change colour etc would be great. I am aware that there are workarounds but this feature would be so much appreciated especially in such a sophisticated program. Rosemary

I am hoping that the text module will be updated in the next PTE release. It is cumbersome to have to copy and paste text slides especially when there are lots of text slides in the show. Rosemary

Thanks Dave. That looks easy enough. Rosemary

Thank you Igor for all your hard work and trying to keep all your PTE users happy. The route I took to change the title was cumbersome but achieved the desired result. I look forward to all the changes in the next version. Rosemary

Thanks Dave; I knew there must be an easier route. I have deleted templates by going to Users>PTE exe>templates and deleting it from there. Mostly for spelling mistakes!!!! Sleep well. Rosemary
