Some people (former Proshow users) keep on and on asking for particular copy functions, but it does not make these requirements more essential. Working with suitable parent/child constructions (a feature that Proshow did not offer) will help to avoid much copying. PTE does not make things difficult. Proshow users may change their method of working.

It is an impressive collection of effects. It may be of interest which functionality of PTE make these effects possible that PSP does not offer to its users.

How would you find out the specific time to which you want to jump?

I am pretty sure that you are right, but it would be fine if you could name a few examples. I can't do that as I have never used PSP. A main reason why I use PTE is hierarchical modelling (some call it parent/child animation), a feature that I've greatly missed in other AV tools. Regarding "Copy and paste for keyframes": It seems that most of it can be done quite well in PTE, perhaps not in the same way as in PSP. But we should keep in mind that it is only a very small minority of PTE users who would have a benefit from a whole lot new functions. For most users they would be rather confusing than helpful.

No trimming at all, no offsets, just do what I've said. From the Online Help: Single Video / Master Video Button Single Video Clip plays only for the duration of the current slide Master Video track - If the same video is added to multiple slides the first instance of the video can be set to Master Video Track. All further instances on subsequent slides can be set to “Link to <the Master Video Track>”. The result is a Video clip running continuously over multiple slides

If you are working with a master video followed linked instances, you don't have to enter offsets. Just enter the video several times (with different slide names), set the first instance to be a master (instead of being a single clip), and link the others to this master (change "single clip" to "Link to: ..."). Then shift the transition points to position in the video where you want to jump to. The video will run seamlessly across the transition points without the use of offsets.

I don't know what you might expect. If you are working with the O&A editor, you are working within a single slide, which is to be considered as a kind of container for objects (images, videos, ...).

I don't think that it would be very useful. Example: You start with a blank slide, and if decide to change its duration, the times for your jumps have to be changed, as well. For videos: What about distributing you video across several slides (first instance as master, the other ones linked to it)?

A simple example: PageCurl_Test-02.pteeff

You may ask davegee for the curling page as custom transition

You may have a look at custom transitions. There you can specify that the transition's animations work without the backgrounds, while the backgrounds just perform a dissolve. Using constructions with splitters, you have additional possibilities.

The zip-file misses an image "00 TRANSP.png". I do not need the exe-file (I do not want to open it )

You should be a bit more precise, or give us a short project showing you problem.

PTE does not have its own fonts. If you install PTE on a new computer you have to install there all fonts that you would like to use in you new PTE projects. Go to C:\Windows\Fonts on your old PC, and copy these fonts to some external memory. On you new computer: Right click "Install". Close PTE and start it again.

Typically, PTE uses the fonts that are installed in Windows.

Davegee's suggestion (second post above) is the way to go. First: Put question and answer on one slide. Create a copy of this slide. In the first copy, delete the answer again, and choose an appropriate transition from the first copy to the second one, e.g. a simple dissolve. Going from copy 1 to copy 2 will show the effect that you want to see.

You don't convince me either

This is not quite correct The subsequent clips are only implicitly linked (not really linked). You will see that if you highlight the corresponding slide in the slide list, copy it, and paste it somewhere else. Only really linked clips will follow it. So, we see an inconsistency with PTE. When moving a slide in the slide list with the mouse, things seem to work well. But if you move it with copy, paste, and delete (original slide), the result can be a different one

PTE does not like it if you try to link audio clips to the same slide in case when the clips are on the same track. If you try to this in the Timelime, it does not work (as you have noticed). But you can do it, but only in the Audi tab in the Project Options. There was a discussion on this subject here: I often face the situation to have several short clips on the same track that belong to the same slide, and I like it to have them all linked to this slide. So I do it anyway, even if PTE marks them red in the Project Options, but it works.

We had the fixed size feature up to version 9. Version 10 hasn't got it any longer. What about asking your members to deliver their images at 2560x2024 (or 2000x1600)? And in PTE's Project Options choose 5:4.

In O&A, I see the decimal comma , but in Slide Options (regarding seconds), I see a decimal dot . Is it a problem ???

Sorry, but (as indicated in my (German) video) the 3 images were taken from Wikipedia. My contribution is the construction of style which can be applied on all panorama images of that kind. It automatically cuts the panorama image into 40 pieces, places them on a kind of carousel, and turns them around PTE's eye point.

In the above style the position of the eye point is not quite correct, which (hopefully) is correctly located 346.41% in front of the screen. Here is a modification of this style. The effect does not look much different: Cylindrical_Panorama_360--V2.ptestyle

The input should be a rather precise cylindrical panorama covering 360 degrees with an aspect ratio of 3.2 : 1 or greater. This is typically the case when using a single row panorama. In my video I also show a panorama that covers only about 190 degrees. But before applying the style I extended the image's width appropriately with dummy pixels.

The following style can be used to present cylindrical 360-degree panoramas (with an aspect ratio of 3.2 : 1 or greater). Insert the panorama image into PTE and apply the style, following the given description. Cylindrical_Panorama_360.ptestyle The video below gives an outline of the construction (in German) and shows some examples: https://youtu.be/64iVq58uql8 This style shows a deficiency of PTE, that some French experts (including JPD) already mentioned a couple of years ago. In PTE, all 3D-objects are rendered using a fixed eye point (observation point), about 342% in front of the screen. It would be fine if PTE would offer slide options for changing the position of the slide's eye point.
