It would be very useful when adjusting slides duration to match music tempo if you have both pictures and videos in the time line. Jean

Tks Lin, I like your work which promotes PTE to both ancient and new users . Jean

Well done Lin I love but did not know the transition (or style) used to introduce the old car slide (kind of weaping). Could you remind us its name? Jean

Don't burn DVD anymore only create exe and mp4 files

Hello Igor No more delay problem on 7.5.9 installation as I had with previous versions up to 7.5.8 System is W7 64bits RGDS Jean

Hello Igor, I just downloaded and installed PTE 7.5.8 The installation was still delayed for roughly 30 seconds. Jean

I downloaded and started installation via your latest link It works perfectly well, and without any delay. Jean

Igor, I also experienced this problem from 7.5 I guess To avoid the delay, I now install PTE in admin mode (Right clic, execute as admin ) My PC is W7 64 bits and I use MSE RGDS

Is this a new behavior from version 7.07? See attached images which highlight the point: C_DSC00178 was replaced by Blank in version 7.07 Jean

Yes Xaver and different also from version 7.06 I would like to keep the same behaviour as in version 7.06 If you do not change the image (slide) name, it should keep its name (i.e. the file name in my example) In O&A screen, the image name is always correct and is ticked as main object of slide. It appears that in version 7.07, the slide is automatically renamed as blank (in the slide list) when leaving O&A screen As all my images are placed as a child of a frame, this bug is very critical for me. Jean

OK, I understand that but it is not the point. I downloaded and installed once more PTE 7.07 with no change. The simplest way to get the problem: 1-add a new slide from file list 2-select it from slide list and open O&A application 3-add one frame 4-place the slide as a child of that frame. To do that, I delete and copy the slide with CTRL-X and then paste it to the frame with CTRL-V 5-return to main screen: the slide name is lost! Jean

Sorry for this previous doubled post. Futhermore, If I change a slide name in O&A screen, the new name never appear in slide list... Jean

Peter, I checked that main objet of slide box was correctly ticked. Problem occurs with one french project created with 7.06 and when leaving O&A screen for main screen. Note that in O&A screen, the slide name is always correct, even if I change the name. I just re-installed 7.07 and created a new (english test) project. It is a little bit different: After leaving O&A screen, the slide is labelled: 23.Blank Now, if I change language from english to french, I get 23.-- Jean

Hello I just installed 7.07 to upgrade 7.06. Problem is as follow: When I add a slide by grabbing it from the file list, the slide name (file name) is correctly displayed after the slide number. exemple: 23.DSC00211 for slide 23 Now, moving to O&A, I place a frame before the slide and set the slide as a child of the frame.(CTRL-X CTRL-V) Consequently, in the slide list, the slide name disapeared and I got in the exemple 23.-- I downgraded PTE to 7.06 and corrected PTE text file to show 7.06 and slides names are now correctly displayed. Jean

The problem Peter highlighted occurs with 24fps video clips, where PTE converter produces fade-in glitches. I am using a D90 Nikon camera which produces 24fps MOV clips (no other choice) and will get the problem when inserting in PTE slideShow as PTE will automatically convert it. Jean

You're right Peter Converted 24fps mp4 files do have problem Converted 30fps mp4 files do'nt have this jerky problem Thoses files were created with Nikon D90 camera (mov files), then arranged with adobe premiere and finaly reencoded with freemake video converter. Jean

Hello Peter, I was just wondering myself the same question. After reading your post, I replaced the converted.avi video file with the original mp4 file and fad-in transition is far much better. Jean

Thanks Igor, beta18 corrected the bug in my slideshow

Hello, The following is experienced with PTE7 beta 17 I have one slideshow with a master video track spread on 2 slides. This works perfectly. Then, if I add a new video clip as follow: - as object onto a previous slide - as one single video - inside one mask container, Result: The master video track becomes mute. the new single video is correct. If I extract the single video from the mask and copy it elsewhere on the same slide (CTRL-X CTRL-V) , the master video track retrieve its audio! Jean

Igor, After reading your latest post about full slide duration, I set video duration to 16.837, (exact slide duration) and now it works OK both with exe and mp4 files. Jean

Hello Igor, About video duration, I noticed a small difference between exe and mp4 files. I have in one slide, one video clip of 16.950 I need to stop it on the image located at 16.837 in order to continue the show on the next slide with that image. I just adjusted the slide time to 16.837 and the Fade in/out transition to next slide is perfect... with preview or exe file. But with mp4 file, video seems to continue during fade in/out time... so that I had to set the slide transition to cut. Jean

Hello, I am presently running beta10 In O&A mode, when replacing a slide via properties tab, the slide name is correctly replaced with the new one. But for a video clip, the video file is correctly replaced but you have to correct the object name (filename) via common tab. Is that correct? Jean

Many thanks Igor Problem is fully solved on my PC with 4 core processor, both when dragging pictures from file list to time line and within the time line .

Be careful Pierre: With this version 2010-11-07_1, when dragging a picture from the File list to the Slide list, the picture insertion is OK, but after that, you'll have to wait 10 secondes before clicking for another action or PTE will hang. Jean

Exactly the same thing for me. Jean
