Thank you, appreciate your comment.

Is it fixed now as I just downloaded and installed the extension? Is that what you are after? Googled "HEIC Viewer Microsoft Strore" - found, opened, downloaded and installed. https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/heic-image-viewer/9MXHSBJRS7SH?hl=en-us&gl=us

Made this short AV last night and used masks for the first time. While it could do with some fine-tuning, about to head off on a holiday so hope to remember the process when I get back. Cheers Mark

Jerusalem Creek is at the northern end of this National Park and it stretches down to Iluka in the south. This AV features mono-infrared images with the inclusion of some colour mobile and drone images using a top-down video of Jerusalem Creek flowing in the background. Cheers Mark

This is where I was on Wednesday afternoon. Would have been about 12 fishermen in different places around the headland at sunset. Sunset is a good feeding time but I did not see any getting caught although I was more focused on the drone operation. Most of the coastline is like this except for parts inside the Barrier Reef where there is no surf/waves but still plenty of fish.

Hi Dave Perhaps the issue is that the link did not work? Did you go directly to the Microsoft Store? I just checked, opened, and searched HEIC Batch Converter, found numerous options and could download and install. Cannot send you the link but here is a screenshot. This detailed information from Adobe https://www.adobe.com/au/creativecloud/file-types/image/raster/heic-file.html. Hope this helps? Mark

Great work Alex, Very effective, and appreciate the time and effort in creating this, well done. Cheers Mark

Thanks Alex, it can be but this part is quite isolated, and no fishermen in sight as it was blowing a gale and the beach had been eroded. The place I went to on Wednesday had many more hopeful fishermen. Just working on an AV now but not sure the fisherman will make the cut. Cheers Mark

Some drone videos have been made into an AV from a nearby National Park. Cheers Mark

Made this short AV for social media from a few infrared images of an old ute rusting gracefully in a garden at a local coffee shop.

Thank you.

Nice work.

lacogada asked a question in another forum about a technique that was described as Perspective Panning. davegee provided a link and here is an AV I made using some still images of local beaches from the drone and camera. An interesting process that has application for me but unfortunately not for my work but great for my play. Cheers Mark

I also found this tutorial by Barry Beckham Details about how to make it can be found here I also made a short AV using the link provided by davegee above in the Slideshows Topic. Ciao Mark Mark

Thanks for the link Tom. I had a look and it is a little more complex than that. Sort of a blend between the link and the one underneath on his website. Thanks again for the link - appreciate it. Mark

Thanks Rosy, as I said the main objective was to make it under 1 minute for other social media platforms. I can slow it down as you said in PTE or my other video editing application but this would take me over 1 minute. Had a few days of rain so caught up on all my backlog of editing recent images. Earlier today I did a re-edit, added another clip and extended the text time. Cheers Mark

You are right but it was more of an exercise to show what could be done with zooms and movement in comparison to the original as asked in the question.

The question started me thinking and doing some experimenting. Firstly the original image/video/timelapse is very impressive. The video features multiple night scenes short videos from around the world. My video capture of a local lift bridge is no way near as impressive but hopefully you will get the idea based on my limited knowledge of PTE. The first half of the video shows the original drone circle of the bridge as shot on the day. The second half uses some PTE editing with zoom and tilts to give you an idea of the potential of PTE AV Studio with some relatively quick PTE editing created in a few hours. With a good quality video to start with initially, it may be possible to create a similar effect with more time and patience. Cheers Mark

I will relook at it but the text was a balance between not covering the video and providing enough relevant information to the viewer. I had thought about leaving out the last paragraph as it is a global audience but in the end, left it in. May make another one for Youtube as I have several videos that could be included to expand this project.

No Amazon has. Amazon is making huge staffing cuts and the site no longer fits its model or profit margins. Large corporations are brutal when it comes to a return on investment.

Thanks Rosy certainly a valid point. I reduced the text content considerably. The video is about 1 minute and while I could have slowed it down, the optimal viewing time for other media is 1 minute. My solution after some consideration was that once it was a video, the viewer could stop the video playing at any time. Thanks for the feedback. Mark

Found this little fella swimming in a pool at low tide on a beach walk near home. On looking around I found about 20 or so more in the same area. Video captured on the mobile held just above the water line. Made this tutorial using a "Text" tutorial from Barry Beckham which provided the answer to adding multiple Animated Texts and fading them before the next one appeared. Always room for improvement but happy with the result achieved. Cheers Mark

I think Joe you are missing the number of "set" transitions in ProShow which I think was over 300. This combined with familiarity with the old application and patience in learning a new application does make for some frustration and a steep learning curve (sorry about the math reference). I too was a Proshow user before coming back to PTE. In saying that I feel PTE is a much better application now and you can "tailor" make your pan, zoom, and slide options and save them as a Theme/Style. This combined with the use of video in Objects and Animations as a background or slide gives a lot more flexibility. Once you get the hang of it you may try something new. Over time it does get easier and Barry Beckham's tutorials are a great asset. Cheers Mark

Some drone images mixed with a timelapse video of wind blowing clouds across the sky. Ciao Mark

Thanks to AI for putting this idea in my head - just need a backer. Cheers Mark
