Why so? It is an evolving technology but it requires that you keep up with it. You have bought a BR player and are able to play mp4. BR Players capable of doing this are not expensive. Mine was a bargain discontinued Sony model which I bought at my local supermarket for around £40 - it even has dual usb ports (back and front). When it comes to TVs it depends on what size you "must" have and whether you require 4k, 3d and all of the bells and whistles. If you can live with 32" HD you can get everything that you want including USB recording / playback for around £400. DG

The latest TVs can not only play MP4 from usb but can record to usb. I will possibly be investing in this technology ealy in 2018. We discussed this a while ago and I found that there are two ways to play MP4 from a BR Player connected to an older TV via HDMI. The easiest way is to plug a usb stick into the BR Player and start the video from there. I was surprised to find (at that time) that a BR Player will also play an MP4 which is written as data to a DVD. I seem to remember that it was also possible with the latest generation of Standard DVD Players. Perhaps someone else remembers. I have not burned a DVD from PTE in a long time! DG

I think that this Transition is something near to what you want? DG

In O&A Animation (or the CT Editor) use "Centre" and "Pan" to shift the point of rotation to an edge or somewhere other than the centre. In O&A Properties (or the CT Editor) use "Image Crop" to prepare the two "Barn Doors" with their centre moved to the appropriate edge. The Left door would have zero removed from the left and 50% from the Right (and vice versa). DG

A further example. Apply the Style to a Blank Slide. These are just Ideas - feel free to change any element. Individual Styles can be saved from the result of this style. Slide one uses Photoshop Text and Slide two uses PTE Text. See the PDF in Post one for creating Photoshop Text for this purpose. See Through Text Demo.ptestyle DG P.S. Perhaps, in a future version of PTE, these "workarounds" will not be necessary.

Eight Styles suitable for each of the five default Aspect Ratios (40 variations). The Aspect Ratio of the Project is selected automatically. A "Stroke Line" is Photoshop Speak for a Line/Border/Frame positioned within the confines of an Image/Selection. The Aspect Ratio of the Image to which the Stroke Line is applied (including the Stroke Line) does not change. If an Image created by using one of these Styles is Zoomed to more than 100% then the Stroke Line disappears. Hence the need for the "Overlay" Style in some cases. The thickness (and colour) of the Stroke Line is easily changed in the Properties Tab of Objects and Animation. Change all of the 3's or 6's to something else. In the case of the 80%, 90% and 100% of Full Screen Styles the Images can be Zoomed within the Stroke Line using the "Framing" Controls in the Animation Tab of Objects and Animation. The 80% and 90% Versions (with Background Image) are compatible with "Advanced" Custom Transitons. Stroke Line.ptestyle Feel free to Edit or Adjust any of the parameters and save the Style using a new name and be sure to use your own name as Author. For example I have not added Shadow to any of these Styles. DG

Advanced Hour Hand CT: Advanced Hour Hand.pteeff Advanced Hour Hand CT Demo: Hour Hand Demo.ptestyle Add two 16x9 Images to a 16x9 Project and Apply the Style. N.B. "Advanced" refers to the property of the CT to work with the Splitter for Background Objects. See the Demo. DG

Can you upload one of the problem shows to somewhere that we can download from? It might then be possible to identify the problem. DG

Wendy, Can you give some details of the pc on which you are getting the problems? Then some detail of the file sizes of the shows. Are you using high res images SOOC or sizing the images to suit the pc monitor? DG

Can I quote you in the Online Help? DG

Using the same procedure as for the Curling Page, here's a Pipe. It's in the early stages. It needs a powerful graphics card - I think. Pipe Dream Project.zip DG

Hi Ray, Sorry, these Version 9 Styles are not backwards compatible. Why have you not upgraded to Version 9? There is much that you could benefit from. DG

Mur, You can see the construction by taking the Custom Transition into EDIT mode. Look at the Online Help. DG

Even better! DG

Thanks Lin, It took a while to get to here. The main objective here is the Curling Page coupled with the Splitter which allows for a multitude of transparency effects, not just Text Effects. Orizaba (Jose) requested this a while ago. DG

OK, that might have been an issue - I will check. I think that a number of things that I have done this afternoon might have cured the problem. I have done a complete uninstal / re-instal on both PCs and Deleted all instances of the CT. The corrupted one could have been among the deleted ones. Please try this with a Blank Slide: Curling Page.ptestyle DG

....or right click on the file in the file list and choose "convert". It is the same thing.

....another problem. On my W7 PC I have the 16x9 Curling Page Transition. I REMOVE it and save the project. I open a new project and the CT re-appears. How do I completely remove a CT from my system?? DG

Igor, Are you saying that the original exported CT (which I have now deleted) works on your PC? The step by step is this: I completed the CT and it works as shown in the exe and the BIZ. But when I Export it and import on another PC this is the result: 16x9 Advanced Curling.pteeff DG. P.S. Lin describes the problem perfectly above - "The last letter just disappears and then all the text disappears"

Generally speaking - Yes. DG
