BobFlangan Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 When I upload mp4 videos from my phone, Google Photos shows the first frame of the video to identify it. When I upload mp4 generated by PTE, the first frame is Black. Is there a solution? I suspect the only one is to edit the PTE video and trim the first part of the video. Any suggestions on an editor to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronniebootwest Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 I assume that you have started your slide show with a blank black slide, in which case the simplest solution seems to be the removal of that black slide.

BobFlangan Posted January 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Ron, I wish it were that easy. I started with a jpg of my grandsons. The example videos at wnsoft and mine all open the same way: with about 2 seconds of black screen. This looks to be the default background. I can change the default background to a picture with text, but this text will show up at times if it is not small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Bob, Does changing the transition on slide 1 to a Quick Transition solve it? A title slide with no transition should do what you want. DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobFlangan Posted January 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 I just created a test and changed the first slide to a quick transition. Initially, google only showed the black screen as before. But after i waited about 10 minutes, google displayed the 1st frame in the video instead of the black screen. I noticed it takes awhile for the 1st frame to appear on all mp4 uploads. On the previous ones that showed a black screen, they still show a black screen, after two days :). I'll rebuild them. This appears to solve. thanks for the help! Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
