Thank you, the best time is the rising tide in the morning. The birds are busy preening and feeding and a slow, gradual sleep allows me to get closer. If you move slowly, the larger birds are more accepting but the smaller birds are always more flighty. Cheers Mark

Thanks John, glad you liked it. I probably have a few others from other cities in Europe from the trip. Amsterdam was early. Time and more recent imaging are preventing it from happening. Cheers Mark

They will, if you use a frame and DO NOT ALTER THE PAN X VALUE dg

Thanks, Dave, I will look at frames as these are not something I have ever used before!

Thanks, Jill. It appears that I have to manually get it right the first time, and that PTE will not align the text boxes to each other!

Try adding a frame and adding your text boxes to the frame. When you have the first one set up you can pan the FRAME to the left with everything maintaining its position. Save as a Style or Quick Style. DG

Get it right for the first slide, then copy and paste onto all the other slides. You can do this in one go by using a quick slide style. Then you just have to change the text for each slide. Jill

Nicely put together. Also nice the birds co-operated and stayed still long enough to get the images

Very nicely done Mark. Nice infrared effect in the vegetation.

Dave, thanks for the reply and information. Perhaps I am mistaken, but my understanding is that this will only align the text within each individual box/object. I may not have explained my issue properly, but I am looking to have each text box aligned vertically above each other on the slide. I have tried selecting three text boxes, and while I can get each box to have the text aligned within its own box, the boxes are not aligned on the page. Hope this makes some sense! Have added a screenshot to try and explain what I wish to achieve.

In O&A / Properties /Alignment, choose Centre. Yes, the alignment can be incorporated into a Style or Quick Style and once applied the Text can be edited. DG

I am looking to produce a show (1920x1080 px) with a slide for each of the 160 presidents of a local club! This has involved photographing some very old prints (some from the 1870s). Each image will have its own slide along with individual text boxes stating the year and name of the individual. Other text boxes may be included depending on available information about the individual. Is there a way to align the centre of these text boxes so they appear neatly on screen? The size of the "name" text box will obviously vary per individual. Can this alignment be incorporated into a style once achieved? I am looking to make a "style" to incorporate the name of the club and the foundation date on every slide. Thanks for any help.

In any program, whether it’s Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, after adding a sound effect, the main background audio needs to be reduced to 75 percent. If the sound effect is barely audible, you can boost the audio file in Audition or find a similar file online with higher volume. Otherwise, the sound effects will not be heard. In version 11, I reduced the background sound. Yes, some sounds are very quiet.

Hi, I agree the volume of the effects are low. Denis

When creating a transition, the sound is set and running. You cannot replace an audio file from a folder or from a transition in documents. The audio file. 2 seconds. The pre-installed audio files work perfectly.

I added a single clip. Changed the speed to 200%. It changed the stated video duration but it did not speed up the clip. Also, I could not publish the show to an .mp4. The publish window just sat there and never did anything. It did create a 1KB file with the name but that's all. I went back in and tried to change the speed from 200% back to 100%. Moved the slider then manually typed in the number. Closed the window and PTEAV just locked up and I had to "End Process". I started over with another clip. I changed the speed to 50%. That worked ok but then I tried to trim the end of the video and the window never showed me the end. I could go in and trim the video first and then set the speed to 50% and that worked fine. Just for the record, I experiment with ticking the "Interpolation" box for this video, but the video then became quite blurry. Apparently the interpolation is only intended for extremely slow videos. I tried again with the second clip and trimmed in first then set to 200% speed. Duration changed, but not speed. Went back and again attempted to reset speed to 100% and the little display window went black and then when I closed the Trim and Adjust Speed window, PTEAV once again locked up and I had to shut it down. I tried one more time and trimmed first and adjusted speed to 200%. Duration changed, actual video speed did not. This one did publish. Setting video speed definitely has some issues. Let me know if you need further information. I did go into V11 and set the speed on both videos I had tried to 200% speed and they did indeed speed up and I was able to save them. FYI, I am on a PC running Win 24H2 with 64 GB memory.

Appreciate it! I"ll give that a shot next time.

Regarding the volume of the new special effects, I do have the impression that the volume is rather low, even at a setting of 200. Compared to the standard music volume (100), I think a sound effect should be audible above this volume. So, to be audible, the volume should be adjusted (setting higher than 200). Or the volume of the special sound effect should be at least as loud as the standard music volume (100), with the option of increasing it to 200, as is currently possible with the music. Greetings, Cor

When I need to do this, I create it once, then copy and paste to the following slides/images. This saves setting all the parameters each time, and you just have to edit the text. Hope that helps?

Just reading through the posts and you can add your own sounds see -

Igor, would it be possible to add sounds from my collection to this library? I'd like to add bird sounds, (female/male) laughter, alarm clocks, ticking clocks, kissing sounds, typewriter sounds (would be great for text animation), drops of water, streams, gunshots, sea waves, and more. And of course, I'd like to see a sound waveform so I can see the beginning and end of the sound, its peak and trough. Thanks for such an interesting new feature in the new version.

When adding a sound to a slide, the sound object cannot be replaced.

I hope this dedicated timeline will appear in v12, as it is really necessary if we want to use this feature.

Greetings Igor, Is this to have an effect on the entire video clip, or can just a portion of the video clip be affected by the 'Interpolate frames'? I'll wait for a tutorial...too many questions.🤔 Gary

Ok...But what is the 'Start Time' used for? If the 'Offset' is the time where the 'Sound Object' starts, I'm not sure what the 'Start Time' is used for. Gary
