Hi Gary Some of the notifications on Youtube are getting silly. I got an email from them last week to say two of my shows about Wilfred Owen the war poet had been put in the over 18 years of age restricted section. Seems like they don't want people under 18 to know what went on in the past. I appealed but lost. Rosy.

My camera is set to 16-9 aspect ratio so I very rarely take portrait shots. If I do & want to show all the image, I either add a matching background, or zoom the image to fullscree & pan from top to botton or visa versa. to do the pan version I crop the image to a higher pixel size than my landscape shots which I save at 2560 x 1440 pixels. Rosy.

Before Covid, we used to attend the BBC Symphony Orchestras live radio broadcasts at Media City in Salford Quays. The securrity is very strict, deinitely no photography or sound recording, it's a "hanging" offence almost. Made a show of our visit when they were playing Aaron Copland's music, only managed to get pictures outside the studio & the car park, blagged the rest. Well done.

Hi Tom, saw that & thought HMMMMMMMMMM! sounds good? Then I thought, do I want 50TB on one drive? I have 3 separate drives, one bought back in 2007 which is full, one bought in 2012 which is as full as I'd want it to be, & one bought 2018 which is about 10% full. The thought of losing 50TB with one failure. I think this is a case of 3 birds in the hand is better than one in the bush. Cheers Rosy.

Hi Tom Looks interesting. Couldn't find it on Amazon UK? I already have a remote mouse & keyboard that I use on my Smart TV, but the mouse is a conventional shape, two buttons & a wheel. However, it only works on certain transmissions, OK on YouTube but not on BBC I Player. Still struggling with the RSI, to much going on at the moment to do anything about it. I bought another scooter called the I Tango by Doohan, been looking at them for a while, but there are no dealers in the UK & importing from China I have to buy 5. Importing from the EU is very expensive now we are out of the Union. (I voted to remain). I found this one on EBay 3 years old but never used. That arrived Friday & looked great. However, when I examined the paperwork with it, It had been fraudulently registered, so we've been tooing & frooing between the seller, the DVLA & the Police. I've now raised an Ebay dispute as I can't register it for use on UK roads, watch this space, no wonder I've got RSI, the mouse & keyboard have been red hot. Also the folding mobility scooter arrived this morning from China, it came by road via Russia. Only partly unpacked & assembled it, will get back to it tomorrow. Couple of pictures attached. Plenty of food for another Rosy Cheeks AV. Night Night Rosy.

Have you tried what I suggested in my previous post click the 3 dots to give more options, which brings up 4 alternatives "Report" "Share" "Edit" & "Hide". with edit you should be able to delete everything from your repeat post. If not a moderator can do it for you. Rosy.

Hi AleAle 5025 If you click the more options icon (3 dots on the right of the heading on your post, you can edit the post. See my attached screen shot of a previous post of mine. Rosy

Hi Tom & Macian I had thought about a graphics tablet, but wasn't sure what you can do with them. I do a lot of typing on my PC using 2 fingers & manage to use my midddle finger on my right hand, reasonably successfully, but it's using the left hand mouse button & scroll wheel that is the biggest problem. I'll take a look at BB's tutorial & see if that would suit, but as the saying goes, "you can't teach an old dog (or Bitch) to do new tricks." I have looked at various so called RSI mice such as tracker balls & the like, but they look like expensive gimmicks. Thanks both for answering Rosy.

It's been coming on for some time & I blame the increased time spent using my PC during the pandemic, not to say old age also. There isn't much the medical services can do apart from rest pain killers & injections, & I've looked at different mice or mouses, which ever is the plural of mouse. Has anyone overcome the problem by changing their mouse & can let me know the model mouse they now use. At times it's very painful, to the extent of breaking my sleep. Any advice welcomed. Rosy.

Maybe something like this? Rosy.

Hi Frank You need to up-grade see Version comparison. Rosy.

Great visually, but the music Rosy.

Thanks Tom, I just set the camera on a tripod, switched it on for 15 minutes, then edited the best bits, relaxing way to shoot movies Did all the panning & zooming with PTE. Cheers Rosy.

Thanks Ceadm glad you liked it. Rosy

Hi LLL the AA track was from 1938 & Dinah Shore 1947, I fall between the two. Thanks for watching. Cheers Rosy.

Been a bit depressed since getting some disturbing medicle news, but, today dawned bright & sunny, so I shook off my blues, did some chores, then got down to some Photography. Since we moved here, the bush nearest our lounge window has been a bit of an eyesore & I almost chopped it down over the winter. Then a few weeks ago, our eldest daughter said it was lavender. I took more notice & was amazed at the number of bees & other wildlife it attracted. So today I set the camera on a tripod, positioned it in front of the bush, fed the remote through the window & off I went. As usual, I've tried to inject some humour into the piece. It's on Vimeo & the link should be My Bee Movie Apologies for the sound, some tracks are very old.

I'm a great believer in the phrase, "a picture is often worth a thousand words" Rosy.

Just dug out a menu I made about 10 years ago, have to scratch my head a bit to remember how I did it. Maybe the screen shot will help. this was done originally about 10 versions ago, so I'm not sure if the construction is different? Rosy.

Glad I was able to help Rosy.

You need to familiarise your self with the key frames feature. Your screen shot only shows 1 key frame marker for the added clip. You can have as many key frame markers as you need to control the start & stop times & opacity. Rosy.

Hi Again Xenfex2 I think I've sussed out what is going on here, to qote some old PTE terms it's a daughter & child situation. First of all add the main video clip to the list of slides along the bottom row of the screen, with that highlighted click on the "Objects & Animation" tab. With the main clip highlighted, click on the tab below the chroma key box & chose Master Video Track. Now, this is the important bit, with the master clip highlighted, go up to the cine camera box to add your second clip. the master /parent clips should be seen off set, yours are directly above one another. See my screen shots, for a better explanation, I hope. Rosy.

Hi Xenofex2 I had the same trouble a couple of shows ago. I had done this numerous times in the past with earlier version of PTE. I assume you have the Pro version of PTE? This link will take you to the question I asked, from that you should be able to figure it out. I would also read the on-line help about adding a video clip. Cheers Rosy. Addinng a video clip to a video clip.
