"Projects"

[L. B. Lombard]

Does PTE AV Studio Pro allow one to create "projects", as did ProShow Producer, where several slide shows can be linked together by a Menu page, and then shown serially or one a time?

[macian]

Yes!

[AlexRoma]

really macian? this is very interesting. how you do it?

Not knowing anything about Pro Show it is difficult to know where to start.

Export your individual shows as mp4 or Executables. If you want to create a self running sequence of shows then I think that you will need Exe files.

Construct a Menu slide with Buttons or Text etc. Each object can be linked to a specific show via "Action on mouse click" in the properties tab of Objects and Animation. The last slide of any show can be configured to play another show.

Normally you would be returned to the Menu to choose your "next show".

Please experiment. If you have any specific questions, please ask.

See this page in the OH for info on "Action on Mouse Click":

Alex, I wish I could remember!!

I'd follow Dave's advice above.

Here I show my one and only menu slide with its 6 shows.

One shows the Animation tab.The other shows the Properties tab and the first show's title and the link to the "Close up" show.

It involves more software, but I always use Nero Video for making my DVDs.  It has some creative templates that allow for impressive displays of the videos included much like one finds on commercial DVDs.  I export the slide shows as mp4s and then use Nero Video to organize and burn the actual DVD.  It is part of the Nero Platinum package. https://www.nero.com/

Just dug out a menu I made about 10 years ago, have to scratch my head a bit to remember how I did it. Maybe the screen shot will help. this was done originally about 10 versions ago, so I'm not sure if the construction is different?

Menus are very easy to make.

Make a show, that has 'Wait for Keypress to show next Slide'

This will keep the Menu on screen while individual shows are running.

As mentioned previously, add Text or images for each show you wish to run.

For each add an 'Action on Mouse Click' to 'Run Application or Open File'

Make sure that all your shows are in the same folder as the Menu.

The Menu has to be an exe file, but individual shows can be Exe or MP4 or another Program.
