Eric Athroll Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 HiWhen I click on the Timeline button from Slide View I only get a small strip of the timeline at the bottom of the window.The old versions of PTE opened the Timeline in a new window and one could insert the waveform also.How can one do this in PTE 5.2 - or is it not possible?HELP!

nobeefstu Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Eric,Ive noticed this also in v5.52. Right click zoom options or zoom button is necessary. Right now one has to keep going to View tab and select Timelne Options then slect Zoom multiple times to get a respectale zoom in view.Please note :V5.52 has a waveform symbol at the bottom right to insert waveform. Older versions has waveform text button Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Athroll Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Thanks but I found that - all that does is to enlarge the timeline scale.What I am referring to is the ability to open a new Timeline window with the buttons to load the waveform and do other things within the Timeline option that we used to have.

fh1805 Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Eric,Version 5.52 implements the Timeline function as an alternative view within the main window of PTE, replacing the Slide List area of the main window; thus bringing everything except, at present, O&A into the one window.You can do everything in this new Timeline area that you used to do in the old Timeline window.You can move slides along the timelineYou can zoom in/zoom out using Ctrl+F11/Ctrl+F12You can drag transition duration barsYou can drag additional images from the File Panel down into the Timeline and place them where you want - without displacing the existing slides from their time positionsYou can display the waveform (as either a single track or as left/right channel stereo tracks)Using the mini-player and the Timeline together you can get a pretty good feel for the accuracy of the timings of your animations (Pan/Zoom/Rotate)You just use the Slides/Timeline button as a toggle between the two.regards,Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Athroll Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 HiI have just found out how to do it. I didn't realise that I had to click on the small waveform icon at the lower left to add it and then I was able to resize the Timeline section.Thanks for your help.
