PTE 4.48 to PTE Deluxe 5

[denis]

Can anyone please assist I have a sequence made with PTE4.48 which has an image customized to 'slide right to left'. This produces a panoramic effect on screen and works fine in the older version of PTE. I now find that playing it in Deluxe 5 there is a very fine black dividing line down the screen between the two images. Any tips to overcome this would be very much appreciated DAB

Hi Dab,

Go to Objects and Animations screen then to Properties tag and check the "low quality of resize" on a couple of the slides where you are having this problem and try it before saving. This may be the solution. Igor had some comments about this earlier, but I can't be certain that it dealt with this particular issue. The resize is normally "precise" in 5.0 and this would possibly create a slight division. But by checking "low quality of resize" (I hate the term but it is descriptive) it simply doesn't have sub-pixel accuracy and may be the solution. Worth trying.

Hi Lin,

Many thanks for your reply, but unfortunately changing the images to 'low quality of resize' in the Properties tag has not overcome the problem of the fine pulsating line down between the two images. DAB

Hi DAB,

Try verying the thickness of the smoothing line and see if that has an effect.

DAB,

Welcome to the Forum!

I suspect this problem is inherent in the design of the new v.5 engine. It disappears if I disable "hardware acceleration", but then the show becomes very jerky. Maybe Igor will have a look at this and find a solution.

Just a thought, because I haven't got it in any of my shows where I use that effect. Is it possible it is on the picture itself? but somehow V4 trimmed it where as V5 does not?. Is it just in that picture or any picture?

No, v.4 didn't trim it - it was seamless. However, v.5 has had some similar problems with white borders at the edges of images, etc.

This doesn't really answer the question but how about joining the images together in photoshop (or similar) then using the Pan function within v5?

So instead of pushing for example two 1024x768 pixel images, you could pan a single 2048x768 pixel image using O&A keypoints. I have done this quite successfully with 4 images joined to make a single 4096x768 image that pans very smoothly - without any black lines or edges showing.
