standingstones Posted September 28, 2015 Report Posted September 28, 2015 I've got sync slides to music selected but it's not doing it! Help! I have a song that's 3:48 secs and the program is only giving me 1:55 of it, no matter how slow I choose the transition. Same if I choose a song that's 2:55, or any. Help! I have a presentation in just a couple hours! I just upgraded my computer and was forced to upgrade to a new version of pte. Never had a problem with this before! I LOVED the older versions! Quote

Click on that icon and you will see 'Spread All Slides to Soundtrack'.See if that works... Gary Quote
goddi Posted September 28, 2015 Report Posted September 28, 2015 The Project Options|Music 'Sync Music With Slides' will keep, whatever slide is displayed, the music synchronized with the correct time point along the timeline. So when you stop and start the show, the music stays at the same point in time.You have to 'Spread All Slides to Soundtrack' to do what I think you are asking.Gary Quote
standingstones Posted September 28, 2015 Author Report Posted September 28, 2015 I don't see what you're seeing. How do I get to where you are seeing that (in the link)?I did, however, just find the "Fit all slides to soundtrack" in the Slide tab. Quote
standingstones Posted September 28, 2015 Author Report Posted September 28, 2015 Also, do you know how I can adjust the color in this program? It shows dulled colors. Quote
Lin Evans Posted September 28, 2015 Report Posted September 28, 2015 Hi,Do you have the deluxe or essential version of PTE? Just to be certain we are on the same page here....If the colors don't look right, it's more likely that you have not saved them in sRGB colorspace. That's the first thing to look at. You said you have a new computer and it's possible that it's set up so you are seeing other than sRGB color. If you could let us know the brand and operating system and type of video card it would help a great deal. The icon which Gary showed is found by clicking on Timeline at the bottom right of your screen when you are in the slide view screen. The timeline button by default in on the bottom right of the display. You can also get there by clicking on "Settings" at the top of your opening screen then choose "Timeline" from the menu or press the keyboard F6 key at any time.Could you possibly do a screen capture and show where you found the "fit all slides to soundtrack"? Best regards,Lin Quote
standingstones Posted September 28, 2015 Author Report Posted September 28, 2015 The newest deluxe 8.0. Ohhh, ok. I see it now. Thank you! It's a custom built pc. All previous settings were cloned. I've never had a problem with colors in pte before. Quote
standingstones Posted September 28, 2015 Author Report Posted September 28, 2015 And I just verified, they are sRGB. Quote
standingstones Posted September 28, 2015 Author Report Posted September 28, 2015 Print Screen doesn't work, for some reason, and whenever I go to the snip tool to get it manually, the drop down menu disappears. It's in the Slide tab at the top of the page. Quote
Lin Evans Posted September 28, 2015 Report Posted September 28, 2015 PTE and the vast majority of displays and systems use sRGB colorspace. When you adjust photos in some editing software such as Photoshop, you have a choice of saving to different colorspaces which have a different gamut. The way to find out is to take one of your images into Photoshop if you have it and save it but look carefully and see if it's being saved to an ICC Profile followed by sRGB. If it's being saved to other such as CMYK or to Adobe RGB, etc., it won't look right in PTE.The chances are that the problem may be in the default setup of your display. Since it's a custom system, it might be best to contact the person who built it and ask about the colorspace. Which version of Windows are you using? Are you using the same display as on your old system? That could be where the problem is.If you could save a quick small show with a couple slides and link it so I can have a look I'll see if the colors look correct on my displays.If you go to your "control panel" in Windows then to Display, Settings, Advanced, you will see a tab which says "Color Management" - that's where you would check to see if the display and video card are set to something other than sRGB..Unless you are using your new system for your presentation, my guess is that your show will look just fine on a different system. It's just going to be a matter of correcting the colorspace issue and you should be fine...Best regards,Lin Quote
standingstones Posted September 28, 2015 Author Report Posted September 28, 2015 As I said, I checked and they are saved in sRGB colorspace. Quote
Lin Evans Posted September 28, 2015 Report Posted September 28, 2015 Yes, but is your display and video card set to the default or using a different colorspace? Which version of Windows do you have on your new system? If you follow the procedure I just marked in bold on my earlier post above on your new system you can see if there is any specific colorspace being used by your video card and display.Above is what my control panel looks like but until I know which version of Windows you are using I can't be certain that your will be identical - but you should be able to figure it out from the general procedure...Best regards,Lin Quote
standingstones Posted September 28, 2015 Author Report Posted September 28, 2015 Windows 7, right now. And the instructions above don't apply. There's no "settings" at that point in the instructions. Quote
Lin Evans Posted September 28, 2015 Report Posted September 28, 2015 Here is the procedure for Windows 7:From This Link: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=how%20to%20set%20color%20management%20with%20windows%207 Quote
