You need to select a suitable font for how you want it to appear. Jill

Looking at your image they appear to have snapped top and bottom. Try adjusting the grid size and the images just so you can see what happens. Jill

Which version of PTE? PC or MAC? I have just tried & it works, but your image has to be smaller than the full frame. (PC V11) Jill

You need to tick Sync Music with Slides Jill

just drag the left triangle to the right to adjust the start time. What I do when working with a long video is to open another copy of PTE & add the original video. I can easily drag the play head to roughly where I want to edit, then Trim the start. I then adjust that mostly in Timeline, but with fine adjustments in O&A. I then copy that Slide into my Project & the video is the correct length for what I want. If you are worried about them all having the same name, then just change the Slide Name in Slide Options. If you keep it all with the same filename then PTE is only having to load it once, rather than having to load lots of separate files. Hopefully there will be easier ways to edit video in V12 Jill

If you use the Timeline view rather than going into O&A to trim the video, then just play the video up to the point you want it to start. Then right click & Trim Beginning of video. For the end point I just drop the next slide in at the point I want it to end. If you don't get it exactly right then you can always fine tune it in O&A afterwards. I find this method quick & easy Jill

you go from 0 to 720 - so it gives a complete rotation twice. By going back to 0 it will rotate twice in the opposite direction, ie going back to the starting point. K3 needs to be 1440 for it to keep rotating twice more in the same direction Jill

The Slide Time in Project Options is the default time when adding new Slides. You Adjust the Time for existing Slides in Timeline View. Move the Slides/Videos along the Timeline to fit your Music. If you have 'Sync Slides to Music' unticked then when you play Full screen the music will always start at the beginning. If 'Sync' is ticked then the music plays from the point you are at in the Timeline. When playing in the Timeline view in the Mini Preview window, the music always plays from the point you are at regardless of the setting of 'Sync' It was exactly the same in V10, no changes in V11 Jill

I have not had any of these problems that you describe. There is no difference between V10 & V11 that would cause this. Even if you wish to adjust the music manually you still need to keep the 'Sync Music to Slides' ticked, so that it will play correctly with the Slides. I do not understand how the timings can change when you save the show & reopen it. Make sure you are using the latest version 11 & also untick 'Full Duration' as this can cause problems if you move Slides to different position or even adjust the timings. Jill

You can't copy keyframes unfortunately. You could use a modifier to make the opacity change. Try the oscillation. Jill

To run a show manually you need to set 'Wait for Keypress to show next Slide' You can do this for the whole show (in Project Options/Control) or on a Slide basis using Slide Options (Main Tab) If you do it on a Slide basis then you can easily mix manual & automatic together. You can then advance through the Slides by pressing the Right Arrow key on the Keyboard. (you can also use a dumb mouse if you are not at the keyboard) When you advance to the automatic part, that section will run until it reaches the next Slide with 'Wait for Keypress' PTE is extremely powerful & flexible to create any show of your choice. A Slide can contain any number of Objects - Still Image, Video, Text, Animations etc Jill

You get all versions of that Release for free. So v9, V9.01, V9.02 etc. V10, V11 etc are new releases. The cost of an upgrade is very small & well worth it. But if you leave it several releases, then you will need to buy again. The developers need to make some money to keep on improving the product. Put your hand in your pocket & upgrade, you will be amazed at all the new features. Jill

Welcome Jo. Once you get used to PTE you will find it very easy to use, but also very powerful. Enjoy the process & experiment with different options. Everything is virtual so you cannot destroy your original pictures no matter what you do. Just remember to save your Projects frequently, ideally with a different name each time, so you can go back if you need to. But there is also unlimited Undo feature, so you can easily step backwards. If you want just 1 picture to fade out, then add a Blank Slide (Black) after it - Right Click & Add Blank Slide. You then set the Transition on the Blank Slide so that the previous Slide (your Picture) will Fade as you wish. Hope this helps Jill

I use Templates all the time for finished projects. It is then very easy to transfer between computers & everything is accessible from with PTE. No need to go searching for the right folders. Jill

Maybe because it is over 2gb. Try making a smaller file by removing some images. Save the project as a new name first so you have a backup. Or save the project as a template rather than backup zip. Jill
