Not sure if VLC Player has a version for Mac ? If it does, then you can press spacebar to pause. Use the left & right arrow keys to move 10 secs at a time. Hold Shift & arrow keys to move 3 secs at a time. Jill

It has been removed in V10. Suggest you make an MP4 instead. When the Mac version comes out soon you will be able to make an exe for a Windows computer. Jill

You can have DB, mine is set to that. But only on the actual Timeline, not in project Options Audio Tab See Settings/Preferences/TimelineSound Volume and change to Decibels instead of Percentage What would be more useful is a VU meter so we can easily see if a sound is clipping Jill

Have a good vacation and come back refreshed. Jill

What is really needed is a VU meter so we can easily see the overall level of the soundtrack. Jill

I think this would be difficult to achieve automatically as every clip will be different depending on the level of sounds in the video, background sounds and what the author actually wants. It is quick and easy to do it manually and will be more accurate. Jill

If you are inserting it back into PTE then make an avi file instead of an MP4. This should give better results. Jill

Which program are you using to play the MP4? Anything produced from PTE should be very smooth. Jill

Thanks. Creating MP4 is probably better both ways. Easy to run MP4 in competition. Jill

Good that this will be possible. Will you put back the create for Mac into the windows version? Jill

I started with V3 in about 2004 but was only playing around with it then. Didn't really produce anything properly until 2006. Jill

No problem I don't do that much animation & if I do, then I try to break it down into smaller slides so I can see the keyframes. Also as I work with 2 monitors i can always drag the window across both to get a wider view if I need it. But a way to expand the Timeline will be a great help, especially now we can see the waveform it is helpful to expand that to get exact timing with the sound. Jill

Thanks for the suggestions. If key frames are very close together then having larger keyframs can make it more difficult. It is the width of the Timeline that is the problem when you have a long slide. If it is only a few sevonds it is not a problem. With some text even at 150% I struggle to read it, especially when my eyes are tired. Jill

Can you connect some different speakers, just to try it? If the sound is fine on your laptop, then it must be something to do with the desktop speakers.

Great News, this will be a really useful feature. I do work with a maximised window on a 1920 monitor. But as my eyesight is poor I have the text size set to 150% otherwise I cannot see it. This means the Timeline in O&A is not as wide so very difficult to see when keyframes are close together. Jill

I am using Windows7 & driver is 13/12/2011 Ver 6.0.1.6526 So very old! I don't have centre or sub woofer, I have my computer connected to my Hi-Fi system only 2 speakers. John is using Windows8.1 & he has the same tabs as I do, but his driver is 2018. Maybe something to do with the sound card or version of Windows? Jill

Hi Lin, Ale was asking about enlarging the Timeline in O&A. This is something many people have asked for, but at the moment it is not possible. Hopefully in future version! Jill

Hi Raymond, I have tried your test file & the music level is consistent throughout. It does not change when the voice comment comes in. Not sure what settings could cause this problem on your desktop, but make sure all other input sounds are muted, such as Microphone, Line in etc. Hopefully you will have the following on your desktop. Right click on Speaker icon at the right of the task bar. Select Playback devices Select your Speakers Click Properties Select the Levels Tab Jill

I use PTE for all my sound mixing and I have never noticed any unintentional change in volume. Jill

When opening any show in a different version I would always do a save as and give it a new name. Purely so I have a backup copy of the original just in case. If going from pte9 to pte10 and all you want is a new exe then just make it, no need to save the PTE file. Jill

Thanks for making the change so quickly. These are now fixed. Jill

Ok this makes sense. The problem is that on many laptops the Esc key is very near to the power switch & in the dark when you are looking at the main projection screen it can be possible to hit the wrong key & switch the laptop off!! It is not a problem when working at home, only when giving demonstrations or using PTE for single image competitions. Jill

Glad that you have found the problem. I have just tried on my desktop which still has RC5 (I haven't yet downloaded the final version) It works as V9 and changes to the Toolbar happen immediately. On my laptop you have to click OK first. Both Win 7 Jill Just downloaded the final release version & that works on my desktop. Strange that it doesn't work on my laptop.

Have you checked in your Spam folder? Jill

By name I meant 'X' 'Y' etc not 'Pan' or 'Zoom' Was writing from memory - I knew what I meant!! Jill
