I have not been able to repeat it but I am still working on the same CT. DG

Immediately after editing a CT. Followed immediately by: Ctrl + Alt + Del required to Exit. DG

Long overdue recognition of Maureen's talents. DG

Thanks Igor. DG

Igor, The Right Click option to "Convert Video File" is missing in O&A Objects Panel. It was there in V8. Is this deliberate? DG

Jeff, You might be right about the Omission. I will pose the question in Troubleshooting. DG

Loved the "Ken Burns" bits. DG

Right click on the video in the File List. Why convert when it is already in the Slide List or in O&A? When you drag into the Slide List you are offered the option to Convert or use the Original. The best option is to Convert before adding/dragging into the Slide List (IMHO). DG

Hi Jeff, Check again - In V9 on my Laptop (W10) it shows in the Right Click Menu. It is between EDIT and SELECT ALL. DG P.S. The figures need updating to V9 so I will do it anyway.

Igor, Documents now shows in the File Tree on my W10 Laptop. DG

Thanks Jeff, I will update that asap. DG

Jeff, The How To''s are split between V8 and V9 and are being updated. The procedure is the same albeit that the layout is different. DG

Seems I am a little out of date re Elements. Was it that it does not support 16 bit layers?? Must get up to date!! DG

Elements does not have layers. DG

Fade through Black Multi Custom Transition using Modifiers: FADE.pteeff DG

The Style illustrates some suggestions as to how Modifiers can be used with Changes in Opacity. Add a blank Slide to a 16:9 Project and apply the Style. Three examples are given but the possibilities are greater. Opacity _ Modifiers.ptestyle DG

Updating to 9.0.5 does not solve the "Documents Problem" in W10. However, in 9.0.5 all useable files are visible i.e. JPEG, PNG, MP3, MOV, AVI, MP4 etc.

Some figures - make of them what you will. I added ten 3840x2160 images to a 16:9 Project and made a test UHD MP4 at default settings. It took 5m 07s and the file size is 120Mb. I then made a HD MP4 from the same project at default settings. It took 1m 49s and the file size is 33Mb. Both play equally well on my laptop. I expected them to both "look" the same on the 1920x1080 Laptop Screen but the 4K version seemed to look (marginally) better than the the 1920x1080 version - could that be??

Works great, but it is only experimental. DG

Add four images to the Slide List. (Show FSD and KFSD turned on in Preferences). Go to Timeline View. Click on each of the four slides in turn. On BOTH my PCs as you step through each Slide In Turn the FSD indication in the Status Bar Appears and then Disappears at random. If it not some sort of Issue, could you explain the reason why it does this? DG

While we are waiting for Igor to reply, It is the STATUS BAR which is missing in O&A and not just individual entries in the Status Bar. (On my PC). I cannot make the FSD entry in the Status Bar disappear in SLIDE VIEW, But in TIMELINE VIEW it comes and goes, apparently to a pattern that I do not really understand. Possible bug in Status Bar in Timeline View? O&A Could it be, that because the information is available elsewhere in O&A that the Status Bar was deemed to be unnecessary in order to make more room for all of the added "tracks"? EDIT - You do not need a KF at FSD to show its value. Positioning the Cursor at FSD will show its value. One anomaly - if you have "Show Global Times" ticked in Preferences / Editor then you see the time from the start of the show. I do not use "Show Global Times".

Uses Framing and a Circle Transition with Negative Mask as suggested by Igor. The Transition only affects the Framed Image and not the BG or the shadow on the Frame. Circle 2.ptestyle DG

Craig, The letters in that example were PNG letters created in Photoshop. Alphabet.zip In O&A click on the Frame containing the "E" object and Copy. Paste to the Master Frame 2 Click on the Pasted Frame and change the Rotate Y Value to 75. Click on the (new) "E" object and, in Properties Tab (Picture), change it to the "F" object. I used PNG but if you start from scratch you could just as easily use PTE Text Objects. Rotate Text 2.ptestyle DG
