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. Tunnel_4.ptestyle Tunnel_6.ptestyle Tunnel_8.ptestyle

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).

These are styles, and not transitions!

Don't you like disposable e-mail addresses?

A more difficult task: Do the page curl as in your example but without the second small image (white beach) in the background.

The point is that an empty PTE does not exist at all ! ! ! - Whenever you start PTE, you always have already opened a project, either the last saved project or the standard project "Project1" (see Title Bar). Which one you will get depends on your settings. Project1 has an empty slide list, it has not yet been saved, but it already exists. You will obtain exactly the same situation, when you use "New ..." in order to close any open project (which you then can save or just forget) and to start again with a new instance of "Project1" having an empty slide list. What should an additional command "Close" really do? Define it! Be precise! It cannot give you an empty PTE, as this does not exist; should it be an unsaved project with an empty slide list? But this is precisely what "New .." does (I've said this already above). You cannot compare the situation with Photoshop, as Photoshop can be started without opening any media, while PTE is different. Should WnSoft change its concept? I don't see any need for that. The standard project "Project1" with its empty slide list should be empty enough.

Do you use a video created with PTE?

As we do not talk about religion (e.g. John 20:29) but about software features: Please describe the situation in which you want to apply "Close", and (even more important) what should be the precise result of this application (how should PTE look like after having applied "Close").
