Jane & Igor, I have installed 11.0.9 & tried out some of the Transitions such as Slide, Dissolve with Blur, 3D Cube etc on a new project. Windows 10 with the latest updates. All seem to work OK, I have saved & reopened the Project several times. Also moved slides around & changed Transitions back to Dissolve then back to those below the Displacement Map ones. No problems at all. Jane did you have your Project open when Windows updated? Not that I can see how it would have caused this problem. Jill

Yes it will do. Another way is to rename the Take7a to something like Take7aOld or move it to different folder so that PTE not find it & will say there is a missing file. You then point it to the replacement File Take8a & it will replace all the files in one go. Jill

Hi Mike, I said to save it as the same name. Your existing file is Take7a so save the re-equalised file as Take7a. Jill

Hi Mike, PTE does not physically edit the File, all changes are virtual. Simply equalise your existing File in Audacity and save it as the same name. (make a copy first just in case) Next Time you open PTE it will pick up the new equalised version & all of the edits done in PTE will still apply. Jill

I had the Windows 10 update yesterday, but I am still using 11.0.3. As far as I know I haven't had any problems, but then I rarely use transitions other than Dissolve, Shapes & Page. Will try to do some tests tomorrow & will install 11.0.9 as a separate version. Jill

In O&A Properties tab, select Offset (just under Adjust Time Range) & enter the time you want to pause it for. So if you want the pause to be 2 secs then enter 0:02.000 As you have found making the Slide time longer than the duration of the video gives you the pause at the end, just remember to add in the extra time for the start. Jill

Rosy, you will notice that it is linked to the Slide, so will move with the Slide & keep lip sync. If in Settings/Preferences/Timeline you switch the Waveform to 'mixed channels' you may find it easier to see the waveform for adjustments. Jill

Easy in PTE - In Timeline, right click the video & select 'separate audio from video' You will then see the Audio track underneath & you can adjust the volume Jill

I thought that NOTTA would do this. - you need the Vocal Remover, not the Speech to Text It splits the file into the component parts, so you will end up with a music track & a voice track. See https://www.notta.ai/en/tools/online-vocal-remover Jill

If you click on an image (Slide) in the Slide List & then click Objects & Animation you can adjust the size & position of the image. You will see in the preview window that the image has grab handles around it. Just drag these with your mouse to get the appearance you want. If you are enlarging the image it is best to make sure it has enough pixels to do this, but PTE does a brilliant job of displaying them whatever size. It is an excellent piece of software, very simple to use but also extremely powerful once you get to grips with it. Enjoy Jill

Are you using Multiple Tracks? If so then then the Delete Track 'x' will just delete that Track. If you have multiple Clips on one Track, then just select the Clip (click it) and then press the Deelete Key on your keyboard. That will just delete that Clip Jill

the number is determined on the Slide position within the Slide List. So if you export Slide 20 it will be called Slide20 You can change the prefix to something else but the number is fixed Jill

Agree with this, it would be very helpful if the Slide could stay in the same position when switching Full Slide Duration - Turn OFF in Settings/Preferences/Project If you already have some slides with Full Duration on then you can turn them off in Slide Options/Main I always Move/Add/Delete Slides in Slide View & use Timeline View for adjusting Transitions & Slide Duration by looking at the waveform and matching to that. As you have found clicking on the dividing line between 2 slides just adjust the duration of that & the previous Slide. Clicking on the centre of a Slide adjusts that Slide & all those to the Right of it I never use Slide Styles for this very reason, also every combination of 2 Slides is Unique so I would never want the same thing twice. Settings/Preferences/Toolbars - select & position exactly what you want to show & where Hopefully video editing will be a lot easier in PTE 12 Place your Playhead where you want it & look at the Time under the mini preview window - make a note of it Then drag the next Slide left & look at the Time displayed at the far left next to Time Points - set it to the same value Agree this would be useful to have a list of the changes made Jill

If you are working on a show & want to update an image, click on the image & press CTRL+W - first make sure that you have set Photoshop as your graphical editor in settings/preferences/system Make the changes in PS & save it. Then when back in PTE click onto another image & then click back on the one just edited & the changes should show. If you have closed PTE and then edited the image, the changes should show when you next open PTE All the above assumes that you have saved the changes in PS to the same filename. It is good practice to never work on original files, but always do a Save As first with a new name. PTE does not make any alterations to the images whatever you do in it, but obviously changes in PS will alter the image. Jill

If you add an Oscillation Modifier of 100 to the Opacity it will switch off & on the transparency. You will have to work out how many repeats depending on the overall duration of the Slide to get 1ms However at that speed it will be very disturbing to watch. Jill

Click the keyframe so it turns darker Blue, then Right Click & choose Clone. You can then drag it to the position you want. Jill

In settings/Preferences/Project you can tick the 'save a copy of the project in a .bak file (in PTE11) This does at least give you the option to go back to the previous change. I never use the Autosave option for the reasons you state & prefer to do a Save As with a new name (increment) every so often. With your suggestion you could end up with an awful lot of copies & not know which changes had been applied to each Jill

I didn't know this worked. But there are arrow keys at the top right in O&A it quickly advance or go back through the images. If you show Thumbnails in the Filelist, do you see the images? Or do they all show black? Jill

I've not had any problems opening older shows as far as I can remember, but it's not something I do that often. Also most of mine are set up as Templates, so I just open them from the Template list within PTE. Maybe Igor will pick this up tomorrow & come up with an answer. To be honest I never look at 'Main Object' or to see which images are highlighted in the FileList, so I wouldn't notice if there was a problem. Jill

you can download all the earlier PTE versions from the website https://www.wnsoft.com/en/pte-av-studio/old-versions/ They will all run side by side. Jill

Gary, if this is a very old show, it was most likely made with an early version of PTE before we had 'Main Image' numbers From what I remember Igor said to open old shows in PTE8 first, save it, then open in a later version. This may explain the problems you are finding. Jill

is there a right-click option to 'view in explorer' This would make it easier to find the image & then drag & drop into PTE. Most of us tend to have a dedicated folder for each PTE project & keep all of the associated files within that. But I understand this is not the way you work. I also tend to keep my original images in dedicated Folders & sub-folders, but I don't have that many so it is easy to find them. Anything that is specific to the project I keep within a folder for that project. Jill

just save as with a new name & then delete the original if you no longer need it Jill

If it will be possible to add Stroke to PTE, then could we have Bevel as well please. Personally I don't feel that the work involved & the extra weight it would add to the program, that a Spell Check is worthwhile. It is so easy to just copy the Text & paste it into say Word to perform checks. This is what I do if I have a lot of Text on screen (which is not often) Jill

sounds like it. I think Mark has a Blue Yeti so maybe ask him, but he is Mac so it may work differently. Jill
