Getting Started Using PTE

[zepperwing]

At this point I can make a basic presentation but I continue to have some problems. First, when I add music, I am finding that it changes my transition times. Some of the photos that I set for 1-3 seconds (I customized them for time and transitions) get "stuck" and the transitions change. This is only happening when I add the music.

Next, after I create a presentation and then go back to revise it, I am unable to just press the "create" button to do this. Though it appears to go through the proper machinations, it does not open into a show but instead creates another working PTE file.

Finally, as I live in the Middle East, there are no workshops here in which to truly learn how to use this product. Are there any good tutorials that you folks could lead me to so that I might learn how to use this better.

Thanks all-Jamie

Thanks Ken-I have been spending the day working through a tutorial and slowly (turly the operative word) I am starting to understand the functions. Tell me, what are most people reducing their photos to first before bringing them over to PTE? My files were very large, I am not experimenting with smaller ones. Thanks-Jamie

myself lately i have been taking pictures direct from my daughter's and friends digital camera's and used them "as is" --the picts can be as big 2+- mb each

rather than resize them i use them as they are but you have to hve the computing power to achieve this

i have a 2.8 mhz with 1 gb ram and it can do it but my 1.33 mhz can not
