Thanks Barry firstly for all the excellent tutorials. I have learned a lot from them. My problem is that when I try to adjust the mask over the text, the mask decreases in size symmetrically even though I have "broken" the chain. Do you have any suggestions as I have encountered this problem before? Thank you Rosemary

Thank you Mary. This is exactly what I wanted. I was taking a wrong turn! Rosemary

Hi, I am trying to follow Barry Becham's tutorial about Masks. My problem arises when I try to adjust the mask. It is supposed to just cover the text. I have broken the synchronization chain but the mask still moves as if the chain wasn't broken. What am I doing wrong or what am I missing? Thanks, Rosemary Rosemary

Hi, I have been trying to follow advice and place my slidestyles in a separate folder. The problem is that I cannot find the pathway. PTE is on my C Drive but when I go to WnSoft and click on it there is no option to see the slidestyles. What am I doing wrong? Rosemary

Thanks DaveGee. I have converted the WMA CD in question to MP3 and it is fine. Igor pointed out that some WMA files have different codes incorporated in the format. This is true because some of my other WMA files work just fine. Rosemary

Thank you Igor. I agree that some WMA files work just fine. I tried several that I have and they work. I spent yesterday afternoon converting the problem WMA to MP3. I shall send you the offending WMA. Thanks, Rosemary

Thank you jt49. I was surprised when PTE would not play my WMA music. Now I can only assume that there is a problem with the recording. Rosemary

Thank you DG. When I follow your instructions all I see when I click the down arrow at the bottom of the Open screen is Audio files or video files. I wanted to know what format files PTE accepts and whether it recognizes WMA or what others does it accept. Rosemary

I am trying to add a WMA file to a show and all I get is a straight line! Could someone please let me know which music files are supported? Thank you and be safe everyone Rosemary

I too was a ProShow Producer user. I found the transition to PTE different. Styles are applied differently for example (Easier in PTE) The commands are different. The forum users were extremely helpful. My main concern was how to manage text in PTE as I use a lot of text in my shows. Forum members showed me work arounds. I only wish that I could work out how to make the 1500 slide styles I have for Producer work in PTE! Rosemary

That looks great to me. Would be so useful. Thank you. Rosemary

Thanks Tom. This will come in useful when we get out to get some more pictures to make shows. You stay safe down there. Rosemary

Lin, I was experimenting with your Jupiter style and swapped Jupiter with my own world video. I also changed the text. Unfortunately very appropriate just now. Rosemary https://youtu.be/aqP1zmn_iAU

What a great skill. Now where is the tutorial?1

Beautiful photography and a very peaceful show. Thanks for sharing, Rosemary

Thank you Lin for this timely tutorial. I have used it for the intro for a farewell party video that I made. Great work, Rosemary

Hi Dave, Thank you so much. I had assumed that the keyframes had to be highlighted before clonning. I had tried every which way except that one obviously! Thanks as well, for the link to the list of Hotkeys. Very useful and are tucked safely in my binder. On furthur investigation, I find that if I right click the line below the KF to be cloned then I get the option to clone it but not the option for "alt insert" I think that the tutorial was made using an earlier version of PTE but I have been wrong before!!!!!! Rosemary

Hi, I am trying to follow Barry Beckhan's tutorial titled Video 014 3D animation Techniques. All is well until I get to the 16 min. mark when the keyframes are cloned using "Alt. insert" I click on the line below and press ALT but no option for "insert" happens! What am I missing? Thanks, Rosemary

Thank you Davegee. I feel such a clot. So obvious when shown! Rosemary

Hi, When I try to choose a picture to add to a mask etc the display only shows the Picture name. Can anyone please tell me how to get thumbnails to display so as I can see what I am choosing?

Thank you everyone. A lot of effort has gone in to making me this transition. I really appreciate the work. Most of it is above my skill level but I am willing to have a try! Regards, Rosemary

https://youtu.be/kQi4I86_zQQ I think I have joined YouTube. Anyhow this is what I am trying to achieve. I hope it works. Thanks again, Rosemary

Hi Richard_43. I am being a pain! When I try to open your link I get asked if I want to completely remove PTE from my computer! Lin I do not have any YouTube videos but I shall endevor to join and try to post. Thanks to you both, Rosemary

Hi Lin, Thanks for the reply, I have tried sending a one slide video with the star transition but the image is too large. If you want a better idea I can send you a Producer clip but basically the star collapses inwards at the end of the show. I hope this is of help Rosemary

Hi All, I usually end my shows with a transition (from Producer titled Star In) Basically it is a star shape which collapses in and designates the end of the show. Usually white background with black star but colour doesn't matter. Can anyone tell me how to create this transition or is it too complicated for a beginner? Thanks, Rosemary
