Greetings, I have many dozens of PTE shows on my Facebook site. I happened to browse through them yesterday and I noted that many dozens of them have the "Your video is partially muted because it may contain music that belongs to someone else" notice. I have been careful to use non-copyrighted music. However, I noticed many dozens of shows had this notice but the music source is non-copyrighted music. I was able to 'Restore Audio' and remove the notice for all of them. I am wondering if anyone else has noticed this out-of-the-blue muting of videos in Facebook. They originally were posted without this notice and suddenly I found, going back many years, the videos received this muting of the videos when they did not originally receive it. Gary

Greetings, It would be helpful to add 'Length' to the File List titles for videos Gary

Thanks, Nelson. I finally found your question in the YouTube Notifications... Gary

Greetings, Thanks to PTE that let me combine images and video clips from 5 different camera, some with different aspect ratios, adjust audio and apply text and animations. The next 7 videos are from our road-trip through Portugal. We took a 3 hour train ride and 980 miles of driving for our 18 day trip. Here is Lisbon is where we started. 1-LISBON to TAVIRA - PORTUGAL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvrWJgxSgP0&t=5s This video is driving from Travira, through the Algarve, to Sagres. 2- TAVIRA, CARVOEIRO and SAGRES - PORTUGAL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYxOEZCfkjg This video is of our boat trip at Carvoeiro to view the cliffs. 3-CARVOEIRO CLIFFS - PORTUGAL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApGZVetEE8Q Driving north from Sagres to Tomar - Portugal. 4-PORTO COVO, CASCAIS, OBIDOS, NAZARE and TOMAR - PORTUGAL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMxNCtW44UM 5-MONSANTO - PORTUGAL (Filmed: House of the Dragon, Season 1, Episode 10 16:27) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJlxwoNfhCE 6-COIMBRA, AVEIRO and GUIMARAES - PORTUGAL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXUcMmQJSE4 7-PORTO - PORTUGAL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjMyMFFmi_c Gary

Greetings Igor, That is really unfortunate. Having the ability to do Rotate within Framing would open up a lot for animating within Framing. I had hoped by now something would have made it possible to do this. I just don't like to use Mask for this purpose, especially when it has to be applied to many images/videos for minor horizontal corrections. But I keep my hopes up that one day, it can be done within Framing. Thanks...Gary

Greeting Tonton, I don't really understand what your examples are to represent. All I am asking for is the ability to apply Rotation in Framing (Zooming in a bit to remove any 'triangles'). The use of Masks has been suggested but I find them too difficult, cumbersome, especially when you are dealing with a multitude of images from different cameras and different aspect ratios. Being able to Rotate an image/video in Framing as easily as it is to do Zooms and Xs and Ys in Framing, would be the most helpful addition. Thanks...Gary

Greetings, You have missed the point. I like to set the image's Zoom to 98% and then set a .5 Border around the image, for example. You can't use C to just rotate the image within the Border. It rotates the image with the Border. I want to be able to rotate the image in Framing which will rotate the image within the Border. Gary

Greetings Igor, I now understand when you mentioned 'triangles' that you'd get when you rotate an image. For me, that is not a problem. All I have to do is to Zoom in a bit in PTE after Rotation (similar to getting the same results having to crop after you rotate in PS). But to so all this in PTE, makes easier work steps...Rotate/Zoom. And it is not a destructive process. Gary

Greetings Igor, All I'd like to have is the ability to Rotate an image/video when it is in Framing. I have a bad habit of not having my images level with the horizon so I have to bring each one into PS to correct it. But I have to try various %s just to get them close. Not a very precise method and time consuming. If Framing has the ability to Rotate, along with S, X & Y, it would save a lot of time and would be more precise, an allow more animation (within Framing). Farming is a great tool but just missing the Rotate function. Not sure about the "applying auto-sizing to the image to avoid black bars/triangles appearing around the edges of the object". I have not suggested that or understand what that would do. I usually just set my Aspect Ratio to 16:9 and go from there. Gary

Greetings Igor, Way back in 2019, I asked if you can add 'Rotate' in Framing. You said it was not possible in PTE10. I am asking again if it can be done with PTE12. It would be a very useful addition. Suggestions to do it with Masks or Styles have been made but I think having a Rotate in Framing would be very useful for images and video clips. Sure, I can bring the images into PS and rotate them there. I'd like to eliminate that step. Can't do that easily with video clips. Hope this is closer to a possibility... Gary

Greetings Dave, Seems you are wondering why I Zoom in (98%) on my images/videos and place a border around it. Yes, it is personal preference. When I look at a picture hanging on a wall, it usually has a frame around it. So for me, a white border with a black edge outside of it, is more natural to look at. Helps to constrain the eye into the 'box'. Having an outside border is not too important for me. I usually want to do some cropping using Framing once I've Zoomed in with my 98% (sometimes 95%) or so. This gives me the ability to not worry about cropping as I take the picture. I can always crop in ( and with x and y) with PTE. I added the Pan for the map just to have it a bit more centered at the end of the Zoom. Gary

Greetings Dave, Not sure what you mean by 'odd'. I get my 'map' from doing a screen-grab from Google Maps. It never is exactly the right aspect ratio. So I set the Aspect Ratio to 16:9 in PTE. I also like to Zoom in at about 98%, just to give a black frame around an added .5 Border. In order to Pan/Zoom into the map, I have to use Framing. I looked at your Style and don't really see the difference in the final result, except you have a blurred background image with Shadow. You used Framing, too, so not sure what the difference really is. Yes, mine is not too fancy, but I'm learning... Just about finished with a 7 part project of trip to Portugal, so just glad it's almost done. Gary

Greetings Jill, Ok...think I got it. I added 'Animation Speed Smooth' to the Map's Framing (this is what I didn't notice need to be done...in Framing). I added 'Animation Speed Smooth' to the Text's Pan. But the Text did not follow correctly. 'Lisbon' moved to the right a bit, then back to the left. So I also added it to the Text's Zoom, too. That fixed it. Before, whatever I did, I could not see any difference. Now I see it working. Thanks. GaryLisbon-MapTest_Jun11-2024_11-00-23.zip

Greetings, Yes, putting in Keyframe 1 is just a habit. I 'fixed' it and removed all of the modifiers, because I don't see any difference with or without them. I remember that we have been told, when you add a modifier, you should add it to each of the keyframe's animations (zoom, pan and rotate) whether you are using them or not. So, as I've said, I don't really understand how to use them. What I am trying to do is to have Keyframes 1 (map and text) not start to move so abruptly. Can you tell me which modifier to use and where to place them? Thanks... Gary Lisbon-MapTest_Jun11-2024_8-29-45.zip

Greetings Jill, I am surprised that I had not run across this issue before. But, I just keyframed the 'Lisbon' text to track with the pan/zoom. It worked. I'll look into the modifier thing. Never really understood them. Thanks... Gary Lisbon-MapTest_Jun10-2024_20-58-45.zip
