Rob, Please start a new thread for this (in General Discussion) and state which Version you are using e.g. Version 9.0.11 (Deluxe or Essentials). DG

You can open a project, copy whatever you want to the clipboard, then open the other project and paste. DG

Rob, this is a VERY old thread! This procedure is no longer necessary - PTE will now copy and paste between projects using the Windows Clipboard. I think that you need both incidences to be the same version. Does that help? DG

I'm out. Don't know why I bothered. DG

In addition to my last post, here is an illustrated example of the Duration / Speed relationship. Follow the instructions in the Author's Notes. At the Author's Designated Duration = 10 seconds the animation Speed = 100% or 192 Pixels per Second. If the Durarion = 5 seconds then the Animation Speed = 200% or Twice as fast or 384 Pixels per Second. Goddi Speed vs Duration.ptestyle DG

No, let's deal with it now. Speed and Duration are "Interactive" - one has an effect on the other - you MUST have noticed that !! If the STYLE contains no animation then you can just deal with the Duration and ignore the SPEED aspect but if your STYLE contains animation then adjusting either Duration or speed will have an effect on the apparent speed of the animation. Please read my original reply again only this time do it carefully - I said " Speed is related to any animation in the Style. " How long have you had this Confusion thing - have you seen a doctor ? When you change the duration of a STYLE you change both the FSD and the Transition Time by the percentage indicated in the "SPEED" box e.g if you change a Style which has 15 sec FSD and 1.5 sec Transition Time to 10 sec FSD (150%) when applying the Style it affects both the Duration and the Transition Time AND ALSO speeds up any animation IN THE STYLE by the said amount. You have found a slight calculation error in applying Styles which has also been noticed elsewhere AND REPORTED but I will report it again to emphasise the need for greater accuracy. I have attached some variations on your Style - these were created by the method I outlined above. I applied a Style, altered my parameters and re-created the Style with a different name. Goddi.ptestyle READ THE AUTHOR's NOTES Styles are due for a make-over, possibly in Version 10?. Until then, why not work with what you have?? DG

Apply it once, change all of the durations to what you want and re-create using a different name. Speed is related to any animation in the Style. If you shorten the duration the animation will be faster. DG

Rob, Try opening a NEW PROJECT and adding a SINGLE Audio File. Then try something like that shown in the attached JPEG. If that works for you then you can go back and try to find out where you have gone wrong. Add your Audio Files one at a time and test each one individually. I can see at least 4 Audio files in your attachment, two of which might be the same one - one with envelope adjustments and one without. DG

A word of warning. An AVI produced by PTE is not recognised by all TVs. Check the spec of the TV (or projector) to ensure compatibility with AVI. DG

In your short example I deleted your Slide 6 and rebuilt it and it now works perfectly. I cannot say what the problem was but rebuilding it by dragging the Ristolas.jpeg into the Slide list cured the problem. I also had to renew the Link in Slide 2. DG Test Goto2_Jul17-2017_17-12-08.zip

Igor is updating anti-spam software today. DG

Please try this Style which adds a Menu (HOME) Slide and Nine Slides Linked from the Menu. Clicking on a Link takes you to the "Slide with name" and Clicking on HOME takes you back to the Menu (HOME) Slide. Apply to a single BLANK slide. Analyse. DG Link to Slide with Name.ptestyle

Can you upload a SHORT project in a zip archive which demonstrates the problem? Limit is around 3mb. DG

Having multiple "blank" slides or slides with the same name can cause problems. DG

Post screen shot showing which button and what happens afterwards? I have same system etc and cannot duplicate your problem. DG

Operating system? Version? Have you tried this on a new project? Have you tried a complete uninstall/reinstall? DG

Cor, Please explain that the Landscape image must always then be Slide 1 and the portrait images Slides 2 and 3 in the Slide List. DG

Are you Setting Main Image Index - 1, 2 and 3 for the landscape and two portrait images? DG Drag the Landscape image into the Slide List - Main Image 1 will be Automatic. Add the two portrait images in O&A and set Main Image Index 2 and 3 for those. Make the style and then add three images to Slide List - Apply your Style.

Lin, Not sure that I agree with this. I just created an EXE on my Laptop which uses the Yananeska Personal Use Font. It is definitely NOT resident on my desktop machine but nevertheless when the EXE was transfered the identical Font shows up - it is not a substitute - it is the real thing. Or have I misunderstood what you said? It might be a good idea if Gary posted the font or sent it to Igor for appraisal? DG

TC, The difference is subtle. It refers to the movement of the slide itself and not the animation within the slide. When on you can see the slide move (animate) when dragged from its old position to its new position. When off it just appears in the new position wherever it is dropped.

Have you checked your Junk Mail folder? It sometimes goes there. Someone will contact you soon. DG

P.S. Most action cameras that I have been in contact with (KeyMission; GoPro etc) will output in just one format - MP4. So if you are being offered a "vast array" of options they are probably coming from the Software that is being used to process the original files. I would therefore ask for either the original files or maybe an AVI which "should" be capable of being inserted into PTE without conversion. Please let us know what happens with as much detail as possible? DG

John, What are the options that are available to you? MOV and MP4 are normal. AVI? DG

Igor, Thanks for the explanation. Jeff, Perhaps it should be added to the OH when you have time? DG
