Hi Fstop, Welcome to the forum. It's available for free as an add on to the main PTE AV Studio editor. It's older 32 bit code and may not be supported if you have a problem. The resolution will be lower than what you can create with an MP4 video, but if you want to burn DVDs it should work. Tom

Hi Kevin, Igor has commented on hardware specs in the past. I have a Ryzen 7 2700x processor with Nvidia 1660 Super graphics card. It works great with PTE 10. The video encoding hardware encoding (GPU) will usually be faster than CPU encoding. Resizing the images will usually make the slideshow smaller if you save as an EXE file, but will not make the video smaller. It may speed up video encoding. I don't know the resolution of your images but I think it's safe to resize the images to 4K (3840 x 2160) unless you zoom to very small areas of the image.

Hi Lin, Dave did all the hard work (and should take full credit). There are probably many other styles that could be converted into transitions. I will try to convert more of them. Just trying to make the ProShow users happy. Thanks, Tom

It's slightly different than the existing monotone Toning (Grayscale, Sepia, Cyan) or Coloration (Red, Green, Blue). You select 2 (duo) colors (Shadows, Highlights) with maybe a gamma adjustment. I think it would add an interesting effect to slideshows, if it can be adjusted on keyframes. I know it can be done with Photoshop and websites such as the one below, but I think having it integrated would be cool. Test your own image here. https://shapefactory.co/ Thanks, Tom Photos from PIxabay.

A laptop usually does not have the GPU performance of a desktop PC. PTE 10 uses the GPU during slideshow viewing and also when rendering MP4 videos (not AVI). So if you buy a new computer make sure it has a powerful graphics card. Currently Nvidia is the preferred graphics card but AMD is also an option. Tom

I have converted Dave's excellent random jigsaw style into a transition. Thanks, Tom Jigsaw 16x9 Random (DaveGee).pteeff

Hi Brian, Amazing composition and detail in those images. You must have a really nice camera and a keen eye. Thanks, Tom

Hi Aleina, You are a very talented animator. Thanks for sharing, Tom

Gary, Have you checked with mediainfo to see if the video is recorded with variable frame rate? That might explain audio sync issue. I noticed some of my Tablo recordings show up as VFR in mediainfo. Tom

It would be nice if there were more options on gradient variations. I have been testing a SVG editor and it's super easy to change gradient numbers, direction, size, color, etc. Just drag a dot and click on dot to open color wheel. https://youtu.be/Y6dSQX6P3xM?t=207 Thanks, Tom

Hi Gary, I trimmed short sections of a few TV shows recorded on my Tablo using your settings. The trim duration seems to be working properly for me. Tom 10.0.7 Build 2

Very nice. Custom transitions are my favorite feature of PTE. Almost infinite possibilities. Thanks, Tom

I had forgotten the selection option. I have used it for other purposes but never time range. Out of habit I always assume when the parent object is selected (blue) all the children objects are selected (blue). Maybe it could be more user friendly since when you select an object it works for copy/paste of children objects but not for properties of children objects. Thanks, Tom

Currently in version 10.0.7 objects can not inherit a time range and the time range must be set for each child object. It would be convenient to be able to group objects in a frame and set the time range so that all objects inherit the time range. Thanks, Tom

Thanks everyone. Just practicing during colder weather. Another transition of helicopters. Just having fun. https://ptearchive.com/pte/Tom95521/?name=Helicopter.pteeff Tom

Hi Dave, I'm just having fun playing with transitions. I don't know if there is an easier method to create a weave without using many layers (maybe a checkerboard mask?). I agree about the ending. I will try to fix. I have noticed the user interface is really slow when using many layers/objects in a custom transition. It makes editing a real time consuming operation. I try to enter new keyframe value and it might take a few seconds for the change to happen. Have you noticed any performance issues editing large custom transitions? Thanks, Tom

Does not use masks, but it does have many layers and object time range to simulate a weave. It was a learning experience. 16:9 aspect ratio https://ptearchive.com/pte/Tom95521/?name=Weave.pteeff Tom

Weird. Maybe the first one had too high of a dpi.Here is the original and new one at lower dpi (realizing it shouldn't make a difference). I don't see the ghost but I believe you. I see you fixed the problem by removing background and adjusting white. I can't blame that on Serif Affinity Designer. Good to know. Thanks. Tom star_mask.zip

A star mask should work. It's easy if you have a vector drawing program. Tom

Hi Pascal, Still playing around with parameters but it works great. Thanks, Tom

I forgot I had a free online Excel live.com that launched Excel on my PC. I think I have it (almost) working. The calculation lasted about 12 seconds. I just need to change the image property to the correct path. Thanks! Tom

Hi Pascal, This looks amazing. As much as I would like to use Trapcode Particular it is not within my budget. Have you tried using your spreadsheet/macro with Google Sheets (spreadsheet)? Thanks, Tom

Hi Barry, If I close my eyes and hear your voice I think of Paul Hogan, not Paul Hollywood. I'm glad people think my post is amusing. People should laugh more often to stay healthy. Fyi, awesome and cool are proper Californian dialect. Thanks, Tom

Sadly the mediadigitronics website is not very modern. I was unable to view the demo videos because of the older youtube URLs pointing to .swf video files. I have found the equivalent modern versions of the youtube URLs. It is interesting how the node paths are generated and populated with objects and maybe some day such a feature could be added to PTE at the same time bezier curves are programmed into PTE.
