I never use Slide Styles, but if you look in File/Templates/Manage Templates it show where they are stored. If you copy this Folder to your new computer to the same place then I think they should then all show. Jill

Add a Blank Mask, then add the Heart Symbol as the Mask Stencil. This gives you a Transparent Heart. Add your Image as Mask Content. You can then adjust the size of the Heart as required Jill

No question is silly when you are learning. Jill

The program already does this and always has. Used Main images have their file name highlighted in Blue. Much easier to see with the light interface. Jill

Hi Phil, Try clicking the C: in the top Menu. This should open a dropdown with all drives available. I don't use Dropbox any more so can't check. Jill

PTE is very easy to use, the best thing is that everything you do is virtual, so you can't destroy your pictures or sound files. The best way to learn is just to try things & see what they do. Don't get hung up on the numbers, just move things with the mouse & see the effect. Also try a Right Click if you are looking for something, it usually brings up options to do what you want. There is unlimited Undo so it is easy to step back if something doesn't work as expected. Have fun & play until you get used to it, then you will discover just how powerful PTE is. Jill

Both very easy to do. 1. In the Timeline drag the grey bar above the Slide to the duration you want, so just drag it back until it shows Zero. Or in Slide View click the box above the Slide & enter 0.0 2. Hold Down Shift & your mouse pointer will change to a Finger when you are over the Centre point. Keep holding Shift while you drag it to where you want. Or you can change the position by adjusting the Numbers in the Animation Tab for Centre I see that Digartal was replying at the same time as I was. Jill

Hi Phil, If you are ripping music from a cd then use CDEX, it is free. You can rip to WAV or MP3 If you have an MP4 then use PTE to extract the audio from it. Jill

Much easier just to reinstall Otherwise depends which version of Windows you are on as they all have a slightly different procedure. I am on Windows 10 & it is - Settings - Apps - Default Apps - Choose default applications by file type Then scroll down to find .pte on the left & select PTE AV Studio on the right (if it doesn't show then click on Choose a Default) Hope this helps Jill

Hi Dick, When you installed did you tick the 'Associate pte file' box? If not, then just reinstall making sure you tick this. Or go into Windows Programs & associate it there. Jill

Try turning Hardware Acceleration OFF. Also make sure your laptop is plugged in, rather than running on battery. With the spec of your laptop it should all be smooth Jill

The Slidename in Blue (under the Thumbnail) in the Filelist are the ones that are used in the Project you have open. As Dave said earlier it is only those that are a Main Image that are highlighted. So anything added directly in O&A that is not a main Image will not be highlighted in Blue. In your screenshot DSC04431Copy and DSC06171Copy are NOT used, the others are. If you have a lot of images in that Folder then it may be easier to go into Full Screen view to see them all. Click the little triangle above the Filelist or press F3. Jill

The Slidename is blue whichever view you are in. It is much easier to see if you use the Light interface Jill

Hi Mike, There are a few ways to do this. You can 'create' the 3rd image in Photoshop & then add it between your 2 images leaving it on screen for the desired time. You could create the 3rd image in PTE by putting one on top of the other & adjusting Opacity. Then Export this image from PTE & as above insert it between your 2 images. Or the way I would do it, is by using KeyFrames and adjusting the Opacity of each image during the Transition. Will be much easier to show you than trying to describe it. Jill

Hi Tony, I have just tried this with a new project & a single image & it works perfectly on Windows 10. I am using PTE 11.0.16 build 1 Can't see anything you are doing wrong so not sure why it isn't working. Sorry can't be of more help, hope you get it working for Friday. Jill
