I guess the answer to that is what is the greatest leap? How often do you make Av's? If you are coming from Windows 10 to Windows 11 the changes are not that dramatic from memory and most are security-based improvements. It will also depend on the age of your PC as some older PC's will not benefit from the upgrade. As you use your PC more regularly, have a reasonably new PC maybe Windows Upgrade first as it will be relatively painless (except moving the Toolbar alignment to the left which is easily fixed). On the other hand, it sounds like you are using the PC to make AV's and if you have already purchased it, install and grow into it. Just use the feature above first and get to know the other improvements if applicable over time. Whatever you decide enjoy. Cheers Mark

The equivalent of formatting a card in error and getting it back with recovery software - LOL.

Hello In Windows 11, I dragged the vertical or horizontal border and it expands onto the next screen. I have 4 screens so I can extend it over 2 adjacent or 4 screens if necessary. Once closed, it re-opens with the same settings. Mark

Hello Igor - no problem, thank you for your reply, it is appreciated.

A series of top-down drone images and videos from a place near Yamba just south of where I live in northern NSW Australia. The series was compiled in a short AV presentation using PTE AV Studio V11.

Yes Igor - a mobile phone version for Android and iPhone. I assumed that was what Barry was referring to? I am guessing it would be hard to do and the cost vs benefit would be unsure. Just looking for applications for my mobile as they become better quality and are getting more use and mobiles have completely destroyed the compact camera business. Still use my cameras and drone with the PC PC but use the mobile a lot more now that I have the S23 Ultra and a 512GB capacity. Cheers Mark

Hello Igor I noticed Barry Beeckham mentioned this in late December 2019 and the reply was it could be looked at? Although there were 23 pages of Search Results which I did not look at all, is there an update on this request? With mobile phone cameras improving image quality and other features dramatically in recent times, it is hard finding a good post-capture AV application. On saying all that it would also be hard working on a smaller screen not to mention the cost outweighing the benefit and size of the potential market. Cheers Mark

I used PTe AV Studio to make the opening for this video. It took a bit of time and is still not perfect but it is a template that I can re-use. The actual video was made in an AI application from several individual drone videos.

Great. The effect is truly stunning. Thank you but I just copied the style shared by davegee.

Heureux que vous l'ayez apprécié.

Very effective, thanks for the time to create and share this style.

Great transitions and some wonderful photography in the images. Thank you for sharing.

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
