I was unaware of that. I’ll let my friend know.

Can anyone suggest why a Yetti microphone attached to a Mac is greyed out in project options. I’m assured that the Mac recognises the Yetti, but voice recordings cannot be made from the audio tab of Project options I’ve never used a Mac so cannot advise. Any suggestions gratefully received.

I have done this before back in 2017 and there is a page and videos on my web site that show what I did. It’s the same technique used here in 2025 Check that page here There are a couple of issues. One being the limitations in size of a 27in monitor and a larger TV would possibly be better. There is a lot of spotting to do, even though I put all the glassware through the dishwasher first. There are more faults scratches and distractions in our everyday glassware than we usually notice, untill be focus close and fill the frame.

There’s no compositing here, the images have been through standard ACR editing only.

Targa I have videos already made on every topic I can think of. So at the moment any future videos are on hold awaiting inspiration :-) For all my projects and when it’s complete, I save a Backup to Zip from within PTE. This places everything you used in the presentation into one zipped folder and allows you to come back to it at anytime just as you left it. I usually include with that BIZ an Exe version of the show for my PC and also an MP4 video for posting and sharing. I store the backup in zip, the exe and the video off my computer and I have all bases covered.

I’m here, just a bit older, wiser and much much slower :-)

When someone sent me an audio file that would not play in PTE, I imported it into Audacity, then exported it out as an MP3 and it fixed the issue.

The images were shot within a 3 night stay just beside the Story Bridge in Brisbane. I made the effort to be up at dawn to make the most of the light, but also at dusk too. I confess I was not shooting with this AV in mind, but ended up with enough images for it to be considered. The images were shot and created in June 2024 and an AV was started at the time, but I couldn’t find music that inspired me or an approach that encouraged me. So, I sat on the project for around 4 months and when I came back to it, I found something to get me started. I have quite a few images that I discarded because they just didn’t fit in as well with the rest. It was all helped by the great PTE AV Studio software of course and when I first joined a camera club in 1975, an AV was the first thing I saw. Twin projectors and film back then, but I recognised the perfect way to be able to display more of the images we shoot. It’s a shame more camera club members don’t display their images in presentations via PTE. The problem of course is the effort necessary to make an AV with impact. It takes a fair bit of time and patience that many are not prepared to commit. Before you saw this, I probably saw it 50 times, or more. Thanks for the positive response. I’m getting to the age where I need all the encouragement I can get.

It’s because it’s a wnsoft exe file, there is nothing wrong with it. it was made with PTE 8

This is an oldie but still relative, but because it uses exe files those interested need to download the zipped file below. The zip contains a short Mp4 video tutorial and a Windows version demo. Just double click the exe file called start and test the buttons https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/td6aefnl3iqc0tg/Menu_system_demo.zip/file I'm sure the Mac version will be similar
