Also make sure you are NOT using 'Full Duration' as this can cause the Transition timings to change when inserting/deleting/moving Slides Jill

What aspect ratio are your images? It looks as though they are not 16x9 if you are getting black either side. I have just played your video & it fills my 16x9 screen without any borders. Make sure your Project is set to 16x9 & that your images are the same ratio. Jill

Happy New Year Igor, also wishing Peace to all those who are suffering around the world. Jill

Used images that are added to the slide list are highlighted in blue in the file list. Always have been, so you can easily tell which ones you have used. Jill

Hi George, no need to uninstall a previous version, the new version will overwrite the previous. I don't think the Check For Updates has been added yet as we are still on Version 1. There is a beta for V1.0.1 & it is not in that. Just keep checking the Forum for now to see when a new version is released. Jill

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to Igor & your team. Thank you for the work you do to keep improving this great software. Wishing you all the best for 2025, health, happiness & success Jill

You don't need the intermediate releases, just go straight to the latest. Also you don't need the auto update. Download from the Forum in future, then you can save each one with a unique name. Jill

you can't get back the older versions of the same major release. But why do you want to? If you have made a project in an earlier release it will open in the latest. I always save each release with a new name just in case I do need to get back, but that would only be for testing purposes & not for any projects. You can still get the final release of any previous major versions from 4.4 to 10.5 here https://www.wnsoft.com/en/pte-av-studio/old-versions/ Jill

Click Convert & it will then process the clips & store to a location of your choice Jill

Only by playing it & doing a screen grab. Jill

Don't even look at the numbers, just grab the Text & position & size to fit the image. But as Dave says to get it consistent across images then copy & paste. Jill

you are not alone Tony, I have done a similar thing when Reversing an image with Rotate Y 180 & then couldn't work out why things weren't working as normal. Jill

I always forget about this. Thanks for the reminder Jill

Welcome to the Forum & glad that you are enjoying PTE I don't use Styles, as I prefer to do everything myself in Objects & Animation (O&A). To really get the best from PTE you need to get to know O&A It may be easiest to add your Background image in the Slide List - as many times as you need it & then in O&A simply Add the extra smaller sized images on top. Make sure that you click off the Background image first so that the new image will go above it in the Object stack. The Objects work as Layers & you can move them around in the order by Clicking & dragging. For what you can do see the Online Help for O&A https://docs.pteavstudio.com/en-us/11.0/objectsandanimation_1/main Jill

VU meters are what we really need, ideally for each track & also for the whole project. Also to be able to show left & right channels seperately rather the current mixed view. Jill

This why I have long transitions & extremely short screen times so the whole show keeps flowing without anything actually moving. Unless actually needed for the script most of my images are only static on screen for 1/100th sec or less. By using wipes etc rather than disolves all the time, you direct the viewers eye to where you want them to look. Image pairing is very important so that it does flow & also correct choice of music with the transitions matching the pace of the music. Jill

This is the big problem with Styles & why I never use them, plus I never want to do the same thing twice. Every 2 image combination is unique & requires it's own timing & transition. So I find it much easier to do everything myself rather than use a Style. In PTE 11 you can create a Quick Style, which can be useful if you need to do the same thing to several images such as colour correction or resize. If you really want to use Styles, such as the Ken Burns (which personally I find really distracting & nauseating if applied to all images) then do it before setting any of your individual timings or other adjustments. Or simply do it yourself in O&A to one Slide, then create a Quick Style & apply it to all the others as needed. This way they will keep their original timings. Jill

Would it be possible to open a new Window for Trimming, one that is resizable as we currently have in PTE Studio in O&A? Jill

Same thing happens with Windows. Jill

if your ipad will play MP4 then yes Jill

Hi Mike, The .pte file inside the Template should open on both Mac & Windows. Have they sent you the full Template .pt Folder? If so then you will need to copy this .pt folder into your own Templates Folder & then open it from within PTE. Look under File/Templates & it should show in the list. If they have only sent the files then it will not work as a Template, but you should still be able to open the .pte file by double clicking. Jill

no idea as I don't use Bridge, but it would be much easier to simply flip them in PTE in O&A use a Rotate Y of 180. If you are using PTE11 then you only need do it to the first image, create a Quick Slide Style & then Apply that to all the other images in one go. Jill

I never use Backup Zip & always use Templates. I transfer the .PT folder directly to a backup drive & then to another computer into it's Overall Templates Folder. As long as the Overall Templates Folder has the same name (path doesn't matter) & it is referenced within PTE then it will be picked up. E.G. All of my Templates are stored in /PTE-Files/PTE-Templates on all computers & backup drives. I can then open them easily within PTE. Jill

Templates do work, I use them all the time. Just click on Main Menu/File/Templates & you will see the show listed. Click on it & the project will open with all the resources there. To copy to another drive or Computer then copy the .pt folder As long as you have the same name for the Templates Folder on both computers/backup drive you can then easily open the show from PTE on the other computer or drive. Jill

The easiest method to do what you want is to Create a Template. This 'collects' all of the images/videos/sounds along with the .pte file & creates a new .pt Folder. The advantage of using a Template over a Backup.zip file is that all of your Templates are accessible within PTE without having to unzip. It is best to do this once your show is complete. See Main Menu/Templates/Manage Templates & Create Template for this show I leave all of my images etc in their original Folders but create a new folder for each show so I can keep the .pte files as I am working & building up the show. Keep saving with a new name so you can always go back if needed. E.G. MyShow1, MyShow2 etc. Once I am happy with the show I then create a Template. You can then easily transfer this Template Folder to another computer or Backup Drive for safe keeping. Jill
