It works perfectly here - please try the exe. CT3.exe DG P.S. Slide one is a true blank and Slide two has a default rectangle. The mask was made in PS.

Apologies I did not spot the Rectangle. Please try CT3. Slide one is a true blank slide. CT3.pte

J-C, In the CT2.pte above the CT (Essai copy) has both boxes ticked as per default. Any CT that I have made will operate between a blank slide and any other slide without problem with the default settings. DG

Please try this? CT2.pte DG

The way I read this, Vince is trying to make a 3x2 (or4x3) show look the same in O&A as it would on a 16x9 (?) monitor. This approach would achieve that if a little compromise is acceptable. Apply this style to one or more slides in a 16x9 Project and the play in Preview. The resulting EXE would be at 16x9 aspect ratio. If you take it into O&A you an see the construction. 95%.ptestyle DG

Have you searched the Online Help / Project Options sections? https://docs.picturestoexe.com/en-us/9.0/project_settings_1/project#main_tab DG

Post your Exported Style here and I will look at it. Go to https://docs.picturestoexe.com/en-us/9.0/main# for help on most topics. Go to https://docs.picturestoexe.com/en-us/9.0/slide-styles/create for help specifically on Styles. DG

You need to post a link to a "Backup in ZIP" of your project so that someone can look at it and give you some suggestions. DG

.........regardless of the number of lines of text. Add a Frame (Project Resolution) Add a Text Box to the Frame (Parent/Child) Using the CENTRE and PAN Controls in the Animation Tab, "Glue" the top of the Text Box to the top of the Frame (Apply the attached Style and analyse the settings) When multiple lines of text are added the top of the Text Box "sticks" to the top of the Frame. To adjust the Position of the Text on screen, use the Pan Controls for the Frame. Lines of Text.ptestyle DG P.S. The Frame is not essential but gives more options for animation.

The "problem" with this approach is that the Caption Style will overwrite any animation which you may have. The answer is to incorporate any animation that you want together with the Caption Style and make a new Style from that. DG P.S. Demo: Demo Caption Style.ptestyle

Apply a Caption Style, change the font attributes and create a new style based on your changes. DG

Look in Styles/Experimental/Cube. Info on Styles: https://docs.picturestoexe.com/en-us/9.0/slide-styles/main DG

Igor, Many people have asked for this, myself included, over a LONG period of time. DG

Updated version of the Demo of Advanced Custom Transitions . Optimised for 16:9, 3:2 and 4:3 Project Sizes. Any Image Size or AR. Please advise of any Error Messages or problems. Advanced CT Demo.ptestyle DG

I often see requests from tme to time for links to older versions of the PTE Installer. To Save having to look for a previous version this is what I do: The download will look like this - picturestoexe-setup.exe I rename the file to picturestoexe-setup-9-0-15.exe (e.g. for the current version) and Save to a Unique Folder named PTE DOWNLOADS. I can then access this file at any time in the future and go back to this version quite easily if required. I am sure that many of you also do this, but you are not the ones who ask for links to previous versions. DG

Seen on UK TV this morning. The Slide Show was almost identical to the one in the post above. The reduced % Images over a Static Blurred BG. Animation/Video within the bounds of the white stroke line - PTE? :

If you make a "Safe Executable" for PC (preferable) there are two files there also. DG

Any Audio Files or Video which could be problematic? If you can reproduce the problem with just one or two slides post a Backup in ZIP (max file size around 3Mb) so that someone can check it out. DG

Hi Denis, Thanks, I know HOW to do it and if you look back at previous CTs of mine you will find that they are optimised for multi aspect ratio. You might remember that I posed a question about the 5:4 AR? My reasoning at that time was there was little point in preparing my Styles and CTs in that AR if nobody used it. Some of the CTs presented here have been previously published in this thread and are optimised for multi AR. It is, basically, a demonstration of the effect of the Splitter and not a presentation of individual CTs although they can be accessed easily in 16:9 AR from the applied Style. But I now do these things just for my own amusement in MY prefered AR. It is not difficult for the average user to do the optimisation for alternative AR and the time spent doing it will reap rewards. DG

Demo of Advanced Custom Transitions This Style creates a 7 minute 7 second Demonstration of some "Advanced" ** Custom Transitions that I have played with recently. Just add 3 images to the Slide List and APPLY the Style. The FIRST Image should be chosen as a suitable background for a Title Slide. I have only tried it in 16:9 Projects - the CTs were designed for that AR. You could add 7M 7s of music if you wish. Please report any Error Messages. I have tried it on two PCs (W10 and W7) both running V9.0.15 without Errors but any errors relating to Styles or CTs would help Igor. Advanced CT Demo.ptestyle (updated) DG ** "Advanced" is my designation for CTs which are compatible with the Splitter and reduced size Images.

Thanks Lin, There is a workaround for adding a Stroke around Text which is entered in PTE but it renders a soft edged Stroke which does not look as good (to me) as the method I described. Also, using the method I described the thickness and colour of the Stroke can be varied dynamically. I think that it is more versatile - until we are able to do it in PTE without workarounds. DG

Hi Lin, Perhaps you should explain the necessity for the .png text created in Photoshop in the original? DG

Kath, That is a Version 8 feature which has been carried over in the Online Help erroneously. I will sort that out. A suggestion: Create a Temporary Style which puts a Text Box on a Slide with the attributes that you require. Alternatively, you could use one of Igor's "Caption" Styles and Modify and resave it with your attributes. DG
