Pierre, I agree and I have asked for this in the past. I'd also like to know which files have been used in the show, whether Main or not. I'd like to delete some of the unused files but not necessarily all unused files. Having to create a Template or do a Backup In Zip does not really address the problem. If every image/file had some indication that it has been used in the show, it would be most helpful. Gary

True. My point was that someone might activate this feature and then just go about their day. Then, a program that used to function does not work, as with the Adobe Premiere. But there was no error message or warning as to why it did not continue to open. It opened to the Welcome screen and just stopped. I only happened to put 2 and 2 together and figured it was this new feature. So I added it to the trusted apps list and now it works. But, I'm not having any problems with PTE 9.0.22 not being on the 'trusted app' list. Gary Added later: If a program works without it being add to the activated 'trusted apps' feature, and then added to the 'trusted apps' list, is it then 'protected'?

Igor, I took a look at the 'Controlled Folder Access' feature you mentioned. Out of curiosity, I enabled it to see what would happen. I tried to open my 'Adobe Premiere Elements 15' and it would not open beyond the Welcome screen. I then disabled it, and then the Adobe opened. So this 'feature' can cause problems beyond PTE. Gary

Igor, Ok. I did a test. I converted a 60fps video clip (1:30) using Quality 25 and compared it to converting it at the default Quality 50. If I convert the 60 fps, 336 Mbs, 30.4 mbps clip at Quality 50, it converts to 60fps, 344 Mbs, 31 mbps. If I convert the 60 fps, 336 Mbs, 30.4 mbps clip at Quality 25, it converts to 60fps, 234 Mbs, 21 mbps. I could not detect any difference between the two conversions in quality or performance, even with the reduced bit rate. I do notice a quality difference in shooting a clip at 30fps vs 60fps. So it looks like I will be shooting at 60fps and just convert with Quality set at '25' and get a good playback and a bit smaller file size. Thanks... Gary

Igor, Yes, I understand that. My point was that the PTE convert process does not reduce the file size for a 60fps clip and it does for a 30fps clip. Gary

Igor, Both, the 60 and 30 fps clips were exactly the same (Format: AVC). The only differences between the two clips before converting were the fps (and the bit rates were only slightly different). If seems that the the PTE convert process is handling the process differently? I just expected the 60fps clip to also be reduced in size, not increased. (The 60fps clip was only changed to 30fps using Videoproc software. Nothing else changed. I only wanted to see how PTE handled the two different fps clips). My testing is due to that fact I am planning a trip where I will be taking a lot of video clips and want to be careful of file size and quality. Gary

Greetings, I haven't used my GoPro much but now trying to learn more how to use it for inputting clips into PTE. I've notice the following: If I convert a clip that is 30 fps, 295 Mbs, 27.3 mbps, it converts to 30 fps,168Mbs, 15 mbps. If I convert the same clip but is 60 fps, 328 Mbs, 30.4 mbps, it converts to 60fps, 336 Mbs, 31 mbps. So my question is, why would the conversion of a 60 fps clip increase in size and in mbps, when the 30 fps clip decreases? I see that the 60 fps clips from the GoPro are better quality than the 30 fps but I want to also keep the file size down. So I want to be shooting at 60 fps but just curious why the conversion process of a 60 fps cip does not follow a similar decrease in size and bit rate as conversion as a 30 fps clip. Gary

Lin, Yes, but that has not stopped Facebook/YouTube from taking down postings that have copyrighted music. I thought that if it did not pass the AudibleMagic test, the posting would be/or asked to be removed. I even used a song from the YouTube Audio Library that was supposed to be useable but it rejected by AudibleMagic as copyrighted. So are you saying that we should be able to use any music in a show that is posted on YouTube as 'fair use'? I know this is a touchy subject but it seems to me kinda muddy. I didn't see any attribution for the music at the end of your show, which I thought was one of the requirements? Gary

Greetings Lin, Finding appropriate background music is always a challenge. I notice that, in your 'Lin’s Wedding Style Sample', you use a popular music selection. I was curious if this would pass the scrutiny of the AudibleMagic for content registration. When I tested your background music for this show, it did not pass, 'Matches existing content from: WMG'. So I am wondering how Youtube has not dinged your posting. Is this background music actually registered to you or you're just lucky? Just curious if there is a way to not get YouTube upset with my background music choices. I usually run my music selections through the AudibleMagic site as a test just to avoid complications with YouTube or Facebook. Just wondering... Gary

Greetings, Talking about alternative uses of PTE, one of the more amazing uses of PTE, in my opinion, is what Jan Frojdman does. My favorite example is his 'Do It In a Basket'. What Lin and others do with PTE is way beyond where my imagination goes in using PTE. It was discussed here in the PTE Forum: https://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/topic/12937-experience-with-timelapse-with-pte/ His Vimeo page is: https://vimeo.com/janfrojdman Gary

Ruth, I have a program that should be able to extract your jpgs from the exe file. I have had a hard time figuring out how to use it but I finally have been successful with a couple of my shows. If you want, send me the exe file and I can try to extract them. The file size is the same as the original size so you should not lose any resolution, as you might doing screen capture. Let me know and I can give it a try. Maybe just upload it to the SSC and I can download it or do a Dropbox. Gary

Ha... Ok.... Interesting. So it depends on how the Firefox user has set that 'Trackers' function. At least that seems to clear up why some Firefox users can see it, and some don't. Thanks... Gary

Greetings denisb, I took a look at my settings in Firefox. I am not sure if you are saying if I should or should not have 'Traqueurs' checked. Mine in not checked. Are you saying that if someone has 'Traqueurs' checked, as you do, they will not be able to view a Facebook link? Gary

Thanks all for checking this out. It is good to see we have other ways of posting our PTE shows other than in exe format, especially for larger sized shows. Just strange that the Facebook link does not work for some browsers. If the Facebook link did not work in your browser, I'd like to know which one you were using. I use Firefox. Gary

I went back to Viemo and copied the same link but it gave me a shorter one. I have no idea what is going on but maybe this like will work (?): https://vimeo.com/313037708 I changed the Vimeo link I had in the SSC, too. Hard to figure out what works and doesn't work when it works for me...but not you or others. Gary

Igor... Ok, I uploaded it to Vimeo and put the link in SSC. Hope this works too. Interesting that there seems to be a problem with Facebook links for some browsers. Do you know which specific browsers are having problems with Facebook links? The nice feature of Facebook is that you can easily get a count of the number of views. I don't think we'd get them using the free Vimeo version? Thanks... Gary https://vimeo.com/user93064829/review/313037708/15131f6dc4

Hmmmm..... Can anyone explain what is going on??? Gary

Greetings Wideangle... The show has been posted as an MP4 that should be playable right on the SCC page. No downloading needed. The link was pasted on the SCC page so it should just show up and you press the Play icon. So I don't understand what is going on. I had someone that I know who does not have a Facebook account and it played correctly. As far as quality and reliability, I have had no problems and the quality of the MP4s are no different than if I played the MP4 with Windows Media Player...so I don't see any quality difference. I have posted about 60 PTE shows on my Facebook page with no problems. So maybe someone who has Facebook and can post similar PTE MP4 shows can clear this up. I thought this would be an easy solution for posting shows that exceed the upload limitation. Maybe not... Gary PS This is what I see when I go to the SCC. Don't 'Download this file', just hit the Play icon.

Hmmm.... What exactly is going on? I tested the link with someone who does not even have a Facebook account and it worked. Please let me know what error message or whatever your got that is causing a problem. It should just play right on the SSC page. Nothing to download. I use Facebook because I seem to have more control over my postings. Gary

Thanks, Igor. It's been so long since I have posted a show, I forgot to add the link in the above notice. Gary

Greetings, I posted a show on the SSC, which is an MP4 linked to my Facebook page. It is playable on the SSC page, no need to download anything. Gary

Greetings, Or...you can do this. Highlight the image in the Slides and then right-click on the image and select 'Change Image File'. Gary

Which browser are you using on your PC? If it is Firefox, just go to Tools, Options, Privacy & Security, Logins and Passwords, Saved Logins, Show Passwords... Gary

Thanks. It kinda sounds like it has been brought up before. So it is not just me. Seems like we should have a choice for the 'change' to reset to the new clip's length, longer or shorter, of the replacement clip. Ok...thanks...Gary

Greetings, I had put a video clip into the slides. But then I trimmed it down and just wanted to use 'Change Video File' to swap it. The trimmed video clip did swap but the playing length did not. The original length was about 1:48 and the new length is about :29. However the playing length stayed at 1:48 and did not reset to the new length of :29. I think I have done this before with not problems but now I can not see why the length is not automatically adjusting. The clip still plays for 1:48 with the portion after the :29 being just the last frame. Any ideas....? Yes, I understand I can just delete the longer clip and drag down the new shorter clip, but I'd like to know why the clip length does not reset to the new trimmed length. Should it? Gary
