Always wanted to go there - STILL want to go there!! Nice images. DG

The best "cure" is prevention. ALL Images, Music, Video and the .pte file in the same project folder. DG

Just a guess: The drive letters on your old and new PC do not match? DG

Wideangle, I found this problem a week or so ago and pointed it out to Igor. The V8.0.13 which will be released tomorrow (?) will cure it. I have tried a beta version and it solves it completely. BTW, try clicking on the first clip and Shift/Ctrl Clicking on the last and drag them all into the slidelist in one action. You will find that you only get one offer of Conversion but all are converted and will replace the originals automatically. DG

Hi TC. You mentioned Version 7 (3 times ). There was no Standard/Deluxe in Version 7. Can you confirm that you are talking about Version 7? DG

I think that the original question was "Can PTE export 4K Exe"? This might help: http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?/topic/18190-creating-uhd-4k-videos/#entry121320 and this: http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?/topic/17872-creating-4k-videos-using-h265hevc/?hl=h265 DG

How have you added the music?? Have you tried adding additional slides?? DG

Added Lin's "Gatekeeper" information to the "PicturesToExe and Mac" article. DG

David, In the Publish Menu (PUBLISH SHOW) you can choose to make an "Executable File for PC" or an "Executable File for MAC". Which one are you trying to play on the MAC? If you are trying to play the PC variant then the MAC will need to be able to run Windows (Parallels etc). The other possiblilty for cross-platform use is to create an MP4 or AVI (from the same menu). File sizes can be quite high but are ideal for sending on a CD or DVD or on a USB Memory Key (in the post). MAC users usually have Quick Time which will play these files. There is quite a lot written here about using (up to) 1920x1080 MP4 files which will then play on a suitably equipped TV with USB input and Media Player. However if it MUST be for use on a MAC then "Executable File for MAC" is probably the best option. It then runs in the same way as other similar files on that platform. DG

Take a look at the Hotkeys section of the Online Help for the Timeline/Slide List. You can change the width of the view. DG

Use "Suggestions for next version" section. DG

Tom, My guess is that, because all elements of a Custom Transition (CT) have to be proportionally changed (time-wise), the audio is not used in the saved CT. We have already seen that when the duration of a video added to a slide is increased or decreased the audio is "lost". You probably need a higher degree of sophistication of video/audio editing than PTE is capable of to be able to compress or expand the audio of a video in real time in an exe. Just a guess. DG

Whatever you decide on, or are persuaded to do, I seriously suggest that you rehearse it thoroughly before your big night. DG

Updated the Objects and Animation / Properties Tab section. DG

Correct Denis, The setting of Native Size in th Properties Tab of O&A makes the procedures outlined in that article unecessary. I have amended the article. I will now make some additions to the O&A / Properties Tab article. Many thanks, DG

With Video playing: Options / Picture / Screen / Display: DG

Correct Denis, The setting of Native Size in th Properties Tab of O&A makes the procedures outlined in that article unecessary. I have amended the article. Many thanks, DG

The exact same procedure does not produce this problem in Windows 7. More Windows 8 testing required? DG

Did you see my post above? The Media Player MUST be in use (running) to be able to access the display parameters for the usb input. Your show must be playing. DG

Hi Denis, Sorry for my confusion. For USB: this is the third Sony Flat Screen TV (KDL-32W65xA) that I have had with USB and all have had the ability to set full screen for video via the Media Player. I have been using USB and mp4 for a few years now. For DVD: The method I described is just ONE method and I stated this in the article. Other methods to suit different circumstances exist. The Online Help is open to anyone to describe their methodology to overcome these problems. But I don't recommend using the DVD method to cure USB problems. That is a TV problem (IMHO). Give Sony a telephone call or e-mail. I am sure that there is an answer to your USB problem. DG P.S. From the Manual for your TV (Page 83 - English): Display AreaAdjusts the picture display area.• Auto: Automatically switches to the mostappropriate display area.• Full Pixel: Displays pictures in their originalsize when parts of the picture are cut off.• +1: Displays pictures in their original size.• Normal: Displays pictures in theirrecommended size.• -1/-2: Enlarges the picture so that the edgesare outside the visible display area.

Tom, I have taken the liberty of editing your CT in line with my suggestions above. ViewMaster2.ptef When you apply it you can set the Transition Time to 0.5 to 1 second as required. Try it with images which are less than 100% of screen size (with shadow) and use a neutral or graduated BG. It also works where there is Animation ("overlapping" zoom etc) during the Transition. DG

I have never experienced that so I can't comment, but since it defaults to "do not use" that is probably what I would do. DG

W7 here. DG

No workarounds. My Sony: Play an mp4. The media player must be active to access the controls. Press OPTIONS / PICTURE OPTIONS / SCREEN / DISPLAY AREA.... Choose +1. DG
