I know I ask before I think, however, I can switch off & on the shutter sound on my smart phone camera, my Panasonic bridge cameras & I can download an app from the internet if my smart phone doesn't have a shutter sound. I'm sure Igor could produce a quick adjustable shutter sound transition with a speed & volume level. I would use it in certain instances. I don't use styles other than those that are standard in PTE? 1/50 & 1/100 would be enough. Rosy.

Maybe a transition would work better? Rosy.

Maybe Igor could introduce a standard transition with sound of a shutter click say .5 of a second. It would make an interesting addition to some types of show. Rosy

Thanks Digartal. Your sculptures show, I did one on the same theme of sculptures about 5 years ago. Based on the British Iron Works Shropshire. I'll see if I can find it & post it on here. It's longer than a minute though. Rosy.

Thanks Tom, It's still shown over here. I believe Micheal Flatley the principle dancer wqs diagnosed with cancer back in January. Not sure how he is now. Keep fighting Michael. Re the poetry, there used to be a site called "Sounds Like", If you wanted your voice over to rhyme, you could look up a specific word & it would give you 10 or so similar word that rhymed, we got quite adept at writing rhyming voice overs.

I delved a little further back in our archives & found this show. However when I tried to run it from the PTE Show Icon, there was no sound track? Now we always put everything in one folder, music pictures voice overs & sound effects. What we got this time was a PTE pop up saying the show had missing files, AKA the soundtrack. I clicked the find button but it didn't find the track. So after a lot of head scratching & re-reading the message, we twigged what we were doing wrong, we thought it referred to a particular folder on the PC when in fact it was a folder on the separate HD Any way, Fog on the Tyne is an amalgamation of 2 visits to Newcastle Upon Tyne, one a day trip with the camera club & the other a short winter break, which is why some subjects were taken in summer & some in winter.

Thanks guys, nice to know the older PTE techniques still please. Rosy.

This is another show from our archives. Not on YouTube until now. It was first made in 2008 in 4-3 format, then converted to widescreen 16-9 a couple of years later. It gives a potted history of the Stockton & Darlington railway with many of the shots taken a the Darlington Railway museum. Rosy "A Whiff of Steam"

Hi Mike 2003 A couple of screen shots of the original waveform in PTE, one of what has happened & one of what you see in Audacity may help to fathom out what has happened. Rosy.

I was digging through some old hard drives & found some shows I hadn't uploaded to YouTube. This one is called "Monochrome Hawes". Hawes is a village in the middle of Wensleydale in North Yorkshire. The Wensleydale Cheese factory being it's biggest attraction along with the James Herriot Hotel. We went there on a cold winters night with our cameras & tripods & the result was "Monochrome Hawes", this was aound 2008/9 & was shot in 4-3 format then later converted to 16-9. Its main claim to fame was it's voice over, which many of todays shows don't seem to use. Rosy "Monochrome Hawes"

Hi Gary Actually, YT were wrong, the flag is for a previous show of mine "Blue Moon". Looks like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Rosy.

Hi Jill Ah didn't notice that, at 83 I'm never to old to learn. Rosy.

Every year we try to watch the Proms. For those who don't know what the Proms are, they are a series of concerts held at The Royal Albert Hall from July to the end of summer. This year, for various reasons we hadn;t seen any. So Saturday night I was determined to watch the Last Night of the Proms on TV from my sofa. Unfortunately I left the flash on on my Smart phone, so most of the stills has a flash flare. If that's putting you off, you can always listen to the music. Message for Gary, all this is copyright material, YT flagged it but their message is below. The Proms from my Sofa

Thanks Jill I always said you should be on the payroll However you have to be careful as it's easy to move the sound track & mess up the lip sync. Thanks again Rosy.

I have a show in progress composed of stills & a couple of video clips. Being an Audacity person I have multiple sound tracks set out in Audacity. The sound track of the main video clip is a person singing, so has to be lip sync-ed. I have left a space in Audacity so the original sound on the clip can be used, however the volume is too low. I'm sure I should be able to see the wave form of the clip but can't for the life of me remember how it's done Bewildered Rosy.

Another pipe dream from Rosy, if the Premiunm bonds come up, we may "splash out".Blue Moon. Rosy.

Hi Tome I use Apache Open Office Org to create PDF's but used to use Adobe to edit them. Then they wanted me to pay for the privilige. Currently, I haven't any PDF's I want to edit, so I'm looking around to see what's best. I'll take a look at Google as I don't have Office. Thanks Rosy.

Just a quick thought, could you not copy from your location & paste into a dedicated folder for the PTE show you are creating? Rosy

Me too. Rosy.

I opened an Adobe PDF doc this morning & it appears they have made the free version pay to play. Does anyone know of a free editable PDF creator without all the snags that usually come with freebies. Rosy.

Hi SoCu Turn that off also, but be it on your own head. I set mine at 15 minutes in case I make an accidental boob & miss what I've done. If you turn it off completely, you could end up in a mess. Rosy.

There was a limit to the size of an Exe file, not sure if it still applies. No siize limit on an MP4. Rosy.

Hi Again There's Eric Matayus music, he posts on here regularly. Seem to rmember I used a couple of his, there's also Kevin Macleod, I've used loads of his music. Kevin Macleod. Rosy.

Hi Igor I tried to open a free account which was listed on their opening page but they wouldn't let me have one & pointed me to the paid accounts? I used their Q&A FREE ACCOUNT & got this reply.

Hi Gary Just remembered a solution I used 5 or 6 years ago, I bought a synthesizer & made my own music.It was a Yamaha & wasn't cheap, but eventually I got fed up with it & sold it on. Gadfly.mp3 This is one of my efforts, not the best but the only one I could find to fit the 7mb limit. Rosy
