Is the audio track feature a mono track or is it a stereo track? The waveform is not split (L & R). I have looked through the manual and can't find the answer. I edit my audio in Abobe Audition which shows both left and right tracks, adding sound effects which are often mono it is relatively easy to position them i.e. left right or centre, I may use 6 or more tracks. If the answer is in the manual and I have missed it please tell me where it is and accept my apologies for asking the question Do you think there is any chance that a future version of PTE will accept flac format audio? John

Hi Maureen Beautiful and evocative what more can I say, absolutely loved it. John

Another masterpiece that brings back many memories. Thank you John

Hi All What about Google Picasa? http://picasa.google.com/ Its easy to use, has got some good tools, outputs in jpg which is fine for PTE, it catalogues your images and best of all its free! While it is good, its nowhere near as good as Photoshop CS5, but as Ken say's Photoshop comes at a high price and learning curve. Regards John .

Andrew An amazing sequence that I really enjoyed watching, well done and I do like the soundtrack. One questiionn it to be called La Sagrada Familia, is Sangrada an alternative spelling? Kindest regards John

Hopefully this may be of interest to some of the forum like me who have a lot of 35mm slides which used to be the basis of their AV shows. As you are aware Nikon have ceased producing the LS9000 scanner and it is getting rather dificult to find a good scanner at an affordable price! Reflecta Gmbh have introduced a new scanner the DigitDia 5000 which takes a whole magazine of slides and scans the whole lot automatically (up to 80 if you use an LKM magazine) they also have a new medium format scanner as well. The good news is that the 35mm scanner is only Eur 1249, but the medium format scanner price has yet to announced. check the link below for full details. (https://reflecta.de/en) PS the downside of the Digitdia 5000 is that it does not accept Kodak carousel magazines Regards John Perth WA

Definitely much better to watch than "imagine" this is far more interesting and good sound. John

Superb presentation, I've thought for a long time that "Brothers in Arms" would make a great show and now you have done it justice. Well done. John Perth WA PS I don't know if its my imagination but the water doesn't seem level in the second image

Maureen Thank you for being so understanding about my suggestion of Rondo Veneziano. The only reason I made it was the music you had used didn't sound italian to me. Here is another totally tongue in cheek offering if you have any italian sequences planned. Rhapsody of Fire - Lo specchio d'argento from "The magic of the wizards dream" Rhapsody are usually regarded as melodic heavy metal but sometimes there are little gems like Lo specchio! Have fun! John PS have watched most of your sequences and enjoyed them all.04-rhapsody_-_lo_specchio_dargento-qtxmp3.mp3

Super little sequence loved it. Not familiar with the music at all. I'm wondering what the sequence would be like if you were to use some music from Rondo Veneziano and if it would give a different interpretation? Just wish I was able to visit all the great places you have been to. Kindest regards John Perth Western Australia

Hi John I just tried to replicate your problem with no success! I'm running Win7 64bit, Nvidia 9800gtx Which version of Windows are you using? Have you done all the Microsoft updates? Are your video card drivers fully up to date? Just desperately trying to think of an answer for you Regards John (Perth WA)

Hi Brian I'm well aware that it is a Windows folder function, but it doesn't explain why in parts of PTE a single click works and in others a double click is needed. Regards John

Paul First attempt you've got to be kidding! Superb changes from B/W to colour loved them and a great choice of music. I agree with Davy about the text alignment and may I suggest a fast dissolve on the text so that there isn't a double image, which could also go some way to address Ken's comment. From a purely personal view I would have liked to see the shot of the whole boat first and then go into the detail shots at the end of the sequence, maybe that way you could keep all the verticals together. Anyway whatever the comments its a stunning first AV Regards John

Hi Yachtsman I had to think about that and check it before I replied! What happens in explorer is that an item is highlighted when the mouse pointer is on it, then the single click opens it. I have to help a friend with his computer he uses double-click and it drives me crazy when nothing happens with a single click! Regards John

Hello Igor Thanks for the reply, here are the settings to change: 1. Open windows explorer 2. Click on Tools menu and select Folder Options 3. In the General tab (click items as follows pane) and select Single click. Kindest regards John

John Just ran PTE 7 beta 9 on my Acer netbook (atom processor 1.33 & ,2gb of ram) which is the only machine I have with Windows 7 32 bit and it runs perfectly, I can't replicate your problem! Just glad that Igor managed to reproduce it and find a solution. Regards , John Perth WA

Hi all This may be a very stupid question but I'm asking anyway. On all my systems everything is set to open with a single mouse click. In Pte 7 I can select a drive and Pictures folder in the file tree with a single click and then the file list is displayed as thumbnails or details in the next window. When opening one of these I have to double-click the folder thumbnail to open it and see the actual contents of the folder. However to select an image in the opened folder it only needs a single-click. Is there any way to make everything work with just a single click? Regards John Perth WA

Hi all Just checked on my monitors 1920 x 1200 & 2500 x 1600 (2 separate computers) and I get the same as Lin no offset at all. Regards John Perth WA

Having read the previous posts I would like to add some comments: Anyone who can and does make tutorials for Pte (and any other AV software for that matter) should be applauded for their efforts whether the turorials are free or not. I do appreciate Barry's effort on "What is AV". Sibilance in recordings, I'm assuming the use of a decent audio microphone here and NOT a computer microphone, you can reduce sibilance to a degree by some or all of the following: A ribbon microphone which unfortunately can be rather expensive! A pop filter, can be quite inexpensive or even homemade just do a Google search to see what one is like. A good windshield for the microphone. Placing the microphone to one side and speaking across it when recording instead of speaking into it. A de-essing program do a Google search, Adobe Audition does have this feature. Regards John

Hi Barry A little behind the times here in WA so have only just seen the topic, desktop monitors are 2500x1600 & 1920x1200 but sequences downsize just fine for the club projector. Regards John

Lin Thank you for your generosity John

Potwnc Thanks for your reply I was pretty certain that it would not run as a native 64bit, but was unwilling to contradict Barry until I had tried it out. Barry Using a 64bit version which has the ability to access more more than 3gb of ram would make a diference in speed when creating the show and you want to use special effects etc. Of course if you have a relatively low spec 32bit computer system the above is rather irrelevant. Regards John

Barry The only apparent option when installing on windows7 was x86, since reading your reply Ihave copied the files to the 64bit directory where they seem to work. What I wanted to know was will PTE make full use of 64 bit and access more than 3gb of memory? Regards john

Is there a possibility for a windows 64 bit version in the future? Regards John
