I have no ideas. if you have 4:3 or any other aspect ratio and you drag those images to fill the 16:9 shape you have in O&A. Then you will not get black bars anywhere. unless you drag the wrong one and then view a different one I’m also wondering why you would have multi-line keyframe display as you describe it and then talk about adjusting aspect ratio that should have already been done.

What is the size and shape of your show? 16:9 HD? You must be doing something wrong, because this generally isn’t an issue at all, but because of that I can’t think what to suggest. The O&A screen reflects the size you set, or the default at the start

Well, I admire your tenacity, whenever I’ve tried to take that path I usually end up head butting the wall.

Gary I think you secretly like these issues, where you can don your Sherlock Holmes disguise and find a solution. I admire that determination - I won’t let this beat me.

I have a pro account at AUS$70+ which is about US$50 What is the problem? Isn’t that a pretty good deal for what we get. Upload full size images for extra safety, nicely displayed with all technical details. I think it’s fine.

Margann like you, my focus is more on the images in an AV, but the music is also pretty important too, and so is the synchronisation. I’m not knowledgeable on what your trying to do or what your experiences are. I have been involved with AV since around 1980 which slide tape, so I do have some experience. Synchronising images to music is easy, far easier than some perceive. From one enthusiast to another, don’t hand the synchronisation of your images to music to a machine. You can add images on the fly easily. Take a look here

Jill Every time I see a request like this, I have to restrain myself from saying what’s actually in my head, but perhaps there are times when right ot wrong, best to say what’s on your mind. Anyone who wants to automate AV should immediately pack it all in and find something less demanding. Simply because, if you can’t put in the time necessary to create the AV, why do you expect me to spend the time to view it. Harsh perhaps, but true

I suppose the response to that is. How much effort and programming time would it take to develop a feature that maybe 2 people may use, some of the time, perhaps in a leap year

Gary What is it about the subscription model that you hate. The price, the ongoing nature of the subscription, downloads and updates? I can understand that if your not using very much of PS, then it may appear a bit wasteful to upgrade, so in that scenario, perhaps JT49 has a point. I don’t see the issues you’re describing getting any better from here, do you? What parts of PS CS5 are you using?

I read this when you posted it and I’ve just read it again 18 hours later and there hasn’t been any response to your request. Why would you want to hand over the synchronisation, the most important part of AV, to a computer program? How would the software know if one slide needed the sound at the start of the transition or the end for visual effect. To produce something of worth, there has to be some effort put in and I’ve been around AV for over 40 years and not once have I ever had a desire to hand over the creative process to a computer. Perhaps I’m old school and out of touch and maybe I’m missing something here.

Gary. CS5 is now 12 years old and I wonder if the OS has evolved to a point where maybe you’ll see more issues like this, even if you do find a workaround for this current one.

Make the first keyframe with the centre moved to -100. Size the text and place it where you want it. Then clone further keyframes and they will retain the -100 centre, position and size. Then you only need to change 2 keyframes to zero opacity. Placing the text with the justified setting left, didn’t seem to make a difference, but it’s not going to do any harm either. I included the text fading in and out on my other 5 minute video, so kept this one focused. https://youtu.be/b4Kl8f2kvXQ

I’ve never had the need to do this sort of text. Having the text in the centre always met my needs, so I’ve never really given it much thought, but when you said you had a video of how it’s done. That alerted me to the fact that there was a solution. I don’t know a word of French, I’m embarrassed to say, but your video helped me join the dots. Although it’s not a technique that a newer user would easily stumble upon

Modern_Min Tonton has the answer and it is something that may make a 5 minute video for English speakers.

John Both audios need to be in the same track to overlap and crossfade. Could it be that your dragging the audio clips into two seperate tracks?

I can’t quite get my head around why you want to adjust the rotation centre, but does this video help,in any way?
