If I got it correctly, video has been supported since version 7

Did you try to link audio clips to slides? It may be helpful !?

Please tell us more precisely what should happen when you copy a keyframe from one object to another one.

What about using a mask container with an appropriate mask template?

You may study the example shown here !

In the above style, the position of the magnified view is not quite correct (IMO). When moving the glass, the magnified version of the image has to be moved, as well! The original image and its magnified copy must always show the same point at the position of the center of the glass. Lupe_PTE10.zip

As Tom said: The workaround is not that great

vbl2007, maybe that you are not aware of the fact that your proposal sounds a bit like over-organisation, KISS!

In the slide options, you can only choose one transition. But this is different in the project options. Please read my post a little bit more careful (if you like it).

What you may try to do: In the slide options (for all slides) choose "Default transition". In the (global) Project options: Tick all transitions that are to be chosen randomly. By the why: I have never chosen random transitions, as I want have control how my show shall run (chacun à son goût).

There is a forum for Aquasoft users (at about the same size as this forum here), and they are quite helpful. It is a German product, and the form is German, as well. On the other hand, I do not like Aquasoft's products either, and PTE is (IMO) the better choice

I would regard it as a nice workaround, perhaps not as a user-friendly solution for dynamic shadows.

Its OK now !!

There is a bug in the Comment Box for styles. The editor does not like new lines. Comment Box when creating a style: Comment when applying the style

PTE styles have a category, a name for the style, and a name for the author. I did not propose to change the author's name, but the category's name, and the name of the style. I've just made a test. In order to solve Gary's problem (while using my proposal) you may keep the original name and restrict the change to the category. BTW: Name changes are not a priori unethical.

Not a solution, but a workaround: Import the style; apply it to an appropriate set of images (do not care about its category); highlight the result; create a "new" Style (which is identical to the original), give it a name and a category of your choice.

Ich habe die obigen Vorlagen (inzwischen gelöscht) noch ein wenig überarbeitet und ergänzt. Tunnel_4 zeigt den Effekt mit 4 Kreissektoren, Tunnel_6 mit 6 Sektoren (wie oben im Video gezeigt), und Tunnel_8 liefert 8 Kreissektoren. Die nachfolgenden Vorlagen passen sich automatisch an die gängigen Seitenverhältnisse an (16:9, 16:10, 3:2 und 4:3). Tunnel_4 erwartet als Eingabe ein Bild mit dem Seitenverhältnis 3:2, Tunnel_6 ein quadratisches Bild und Tunnel_8 ein hochformatiges Bild mit dem Seitenverhältnis 3:4.

Benutzer von Wings verwenden gelegentlich den sog. Tunnel-Effekt. Hier eine Nachbildung als Vorlagen (Styles) für PTE AV Studio: Die hier gezeigten Vorlagen wurden gelöscht und durch verbesserte Versionen ersetzt. Siehe nachfolgendes Posting!

I don't think that providing the functionality would be the problem, but it would not that easy for the users to create appropriate displacement maps. Perhaps PTE could offer this feature as an effect with some nice presets such as water effects.

There are two slide show products (in Germany and Austria) which support displacement effects.

... and it would be fine if PTE would support animated displacement maps ...

Some recommendations (without obligation ): 1. Choose an appropriate music with respect to the images (is a matter of taste). 2. Choose vocal music only if the lyrics correspond to the images. 3. Its OK to use cuts (quick transitions) if the music has a strong rhythm, but place the cuts on beat 1.

Sorry, but I do not see this behaviour

It is up to each user how to present his posts. For people who are not native speakers the work with long texts is somewhat tedious

PTE only highlights an image in the file list when you make it a "Main Image" (whatever the reason may be).
