Just found a Bug in Styles - hence the Style has changed a couple of times since I first uploaded it - should be OK now. Border Mask.ptestyle DG

Thanks Lin. Here's an alternative which allows you to adjust the Size and Colour of the Borders within PTE in O&A. Read the Text in the Style. DG

Thanks both. I said in the video that this was possible in version 8 (and Version 9) using masking, where rotate has always been available, but Gary has been adamant all along that he does not want to use masking - it is too complicated for him. Masking deserves a separate thread. DG

Framing, Border and the Splitter for Background Objects.

Igor, The Style that I posted above needs no images. Please try it on a BLANK SLIDE and se if you also get Error Mesages. DG

All done within PTE - No Photoshop necessary. Adjust your border to suit yourself. Goddi Border.ptestyle Apply Style to a Blank 1920x1080 Slide - Demo. DG

I just saved a short show twice - as Part one.exe and Part two.exe Save Part two.exe first. In Part one set it up as shown in diag. Save as Part one.exe. It now does not include the path. Worked as I expected - no errors - no hassle

It might work if the person downloading the two shows saves them both to the same folder. Also, when you are creating the link exclude the path and just enter the "FILE.EXE" name. You could prove it by creating a folder and trying all possibilities out before uploading. DG

A group of eight Transitions Specifically for 1920x1080 that, for want of a better name, I have called REVOLVER. Revolver.pteeff Demo: Just add a single Blank Slide in a 1920x1080 Project and apply this Style: Revolver Demo.ptestyle DG

Agreed. But he has already said that he plans to update the Video Codecs in a future version - " We plan to use new video coders in future version. It should solve all issues with playback/trimming of video clips". Apart from the playing of MP4 which has no Audio (which I rarely do) I have no problems. MP4 is my prefered option. DG

All i have to do is click on the AB Button. Does not happen every time, but fairly regularly.

Stu, I did not use the OP's file - I started from scratch with my own. I got the same message when I tried the MP4 and NO AUDIO - "Audio not supported" - as soon as added an Audio File to the MP4 it played with no message. With AVI it looks like it depends on the manufacturer - with MP4, no problem - and the file sizes are smaller. DG

AVI output from PTE is not supported by either Sony BDP or Sony TV. MP4 output from PTE is supported by both Sony BDP and Sony TV. DG

Your file is an AVI. As I said previously I use MP4 - Publish / HD Video / 1920x1080 Preset - that works. I have never tried an AVI. I will look at it tomorrow. DG

I do not think that it is the Sony Player. I have a BDP-S1500 and a much older Sony BDP model and both play with no problem when using the standard PTE preset MP4 options. Post a link to a short one slide MP4 so that someone can try it. DG P.S. do you have usb on your tv?

Choose one of the options and then select Custom. The settings for your chosen Low, Medium or High will appear in the Custom Window. DG

You just did Ron. DG P.S. The Audio Bit Rate available on a FREE Account is 128kbps which should be adequate for most AV Purposes.

Jeff, I copy your observation. In Version 8 you are asked if you want to convert if you add a video in O&A so I guess that it might be an oversight. I am not sure if this has been raised before - someone will tell us DG

Well done Barry - superb representation of the new features. DG
