In the same slide: Copy the Image - Ctrl + C. Then BEFORE you Paste. Change the original Image. THEN Paste the image on the clipboard. Then do the manipulation. DG

https://docs.picturestoexe.com/en-us/9.0/objectsandanimation_1/managing_key_frames You can copy an Image from one slide t another and THEN change the image in Properties and apply the Shift KF feature as described above. DG

+1 When I did that test recently I discounted FB on both quality and reliability grounds. DG

In that case to go Slide Options/Main / Advanced and try the "Run External Application" option instead. https://docs.picturestoexe.com/en-us/9.0/project_settings_1/slide_settings DG

https://docs.picturestoexe.com/en-us/9.0/how_to_v9/button It does not have to be a button - it could be any object. Only works with exe files. DG

Try publishing as a high quality 60fps mp4 and transfer that to the laptop. Play from desktop in your media player. Windows media player works best for me. I suspect that you need a laptop with a better graphics card. DG

Create TWO exe files but add an interactive button on the last slide of exe number one which will seamlessly call up the exe number 2. Create exe number 2 first and save to a new folder. Add the interactive button to last slide of project one and point it toward exe 2. Save exe number one in the same new folder. If at any time you want to move anything move the whole folder. DG P.S. Please update to the latest version at the earliest opportunity.

Thanks, it was a response to a discussion on another forum. DG

If you play your video at YouTube all that you need to do is copy the url from the top line and paste it here. DG P.S. That is better

This Style will position nine images or Videos in a Slide. All default Aspect Ratios other than 5:4. Any resolution/aspect ratio images. All images will be cropped to the AR of the project. 9 Images or Videos.ptestyle DG

To to the wnsoft.com link at the top of this page. DG

Gogs, It is possible to put both an EXE and it's mp4 equivalent on Slideshow club for a comparison. Simply upload the mp4 to YouTube and add the embedding link in the description. That would give you a chance to compare and also for others to comment. It is possible that you NVidia setting is 16-240 and that o-255 would be better? DG

Your first image was dragged into the slide list and was automatically assigned Main Image Index 1. The rest were added in O&A and need to be Manually assigned Indexes 2-6. Any image not indexed is included in a style and causes the size of the Style to "Bloat". DG

1. What are your quality settings in PTE? 2. What video player are you using? Are there any settings there that need looking at? 3. If you have the nVidea Control Panel there are separate controls there for video. I think that each PC reacts differently to different players - as much as I try to like other players I find that, on my desktop pc, Windows Media Player works best for the MP4 files on my PC.

The O&A / Properties / Aspect Crop Control:

Glad that it helped all three of you DG

The problem seems to be that the Scaling (or not) of the Time Range takes place correctly but the figures in the Time Range boxes are not updated. ....and now I cannot reproduce it!! DG

I believe that the scaling is intended to work in the same way as key-frames so unticking the scaling box in Slide Options would give absolute figures to the Time Range on a change of slide duration. However, I "think" that there is a bug in there somewhere and I am taking it up with Igor. At this time I would advise NOT changing slide duration when you are constructing an animation. It "might" cause you a problem. Choose a duration greater than you will need and "trim" it afterwards. DG

Jill is correct and that is the way that I do it. But, you might remember I asked what it was that Mike wanted to do, exactly? If Mike had wanted image name for instance, then the correct setup in Comment would allow it to be done automatically. I have a vague recollection that Igor intends to correct this in a future version. DG

P.S. Comment should be in the top right toolbar. If it is not there to go Settings/Preferences/Toolbars and turn EVERYTHING on. DG

Project Options / Defaults / Customise Font and then use COMMENT. DG

Mike, Are you putting text on every slide and if so what is the nature of the text? Is it descriptive, or do you want to add the image name or what? There are ways around this but it depends on what you are trying to achieve. DG
