Great, it turned out really well, everything fits perfectly, the music and the style.

Adysa, Thank you for your kind words. I hope you can find a good use for this project. Best Alex55

Hello Alex! Today I watched your autobiographical film again, and Gradsky's song here is just amazing, very touching, I couldn't help but relate it to my own life. Although I was far from your profession as a cinematographer, I had working specialties, but the atmosphere of that life and that country in which we lived, those relationships with each other and, most importantly, the people, now, by and large, of course, are no longer there... Thank you for your family story, which takes you back to your own memories. May God grant your family good health. Take care of yourself, because life passes so quickly...

Greetings Fellow Creative Souls, This week's new free music track is: "CHILLIN’ WITH MY FRIENDS" (LoFi) With all the crazy stuff going on in the world, I find myself longing for calmer, simpler days...and I think this track expresses it pretty well. You can listen to it here: https://soundimage.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Chillin-with-My-Friends_LoFi.mp3 Here's the original full-fidelity version: https://soundimage.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Chillin-with-My-Friends.mp3 Both can be freely downloaded from my Rock page: https://soundimage.org/rock/ PREVIEW OF MY OGG GAME MUSIC MEGA PACK Here's a cool preview containing a sampling from my Ogg Game Music Mega Pack...it's actually kind of fun to listen to while working on other stuff. Give it a try...and please share! https://youtu.be/W7yQVscjqUM?si=1xkM9oZ76FH89lsH Enjoy and please stay safe. 🙂

Thank you Alex for sharing your wonderful projects with us. You always do a great job with the music and plot. I wish you creative success and thank you from the bottom of my heart!

While I'm not a fan of infrared photography, I like what you did!

Yes, I'd like to get a copy of the transitions folder to check what is broken there.

Yes, I understand this issue.

A friend did a workshop with Anne Zahalka a few years ago. Anne current has an exhibition at a local regional gallery. She is a highly successful Australian photographer and this month will have one of her images released as a postage stamp. If you are interested Google search her name. He asked if she wanted to come on one of our regular photographic wanders, and here is a short AV about the day last Wednesday.

A farm owned by the wife of a former deputy Prime Minister of Australia that I had the pleasure of photographing in infrared. AI used for the voice over. Cut and edited in PTE along with the images.

You know to me all the understanding coming with practice, in general. The more you practice, the more you understand how it is. Dive into that and you'll be surprised! I know this from my expirience. Good luck!

Hi Igor, I just restored them to fix the problem, and they're back to normal now. The problem started when I switched from beta 4 to beta 6; I hadn't installed beta 5. They couldn't find the videos they had, and restoring the Transitions folder (which I have a backup of) solved the problem. However, I noticed that some transition videos had disappeared. If you'd like me to send you some transitions anyway, just let me know. Thanks and best regards, Javier

Hi, I just checked - created a new custom transition with a video mask in V11 and then opened it in V12 Beta 6 - the transition worked fine. Please let me know, did you test this particular transition in the previous Beta 5? If the transition was created earlier (in V11), check its work in V11. Also you can send us the all storage of custom transitions for checking. Send me a personal message with a download link. Usually custom transitations are located in a folder: Documents > PicturesToExe > Styles and Transitions > Transitions

Thanks Igor! And just FYI, I am awaiting delivery of my new Samsung Galaxy S26 phone. It can record in 8K video! I'm guessing that might be a real problem without a proxy video. Not that I plan to record extensively in 8K, but I'm sure others might.

When switching to beta 6, all transitions that had video give an error, either missing files or they cannot be found.

Hi Alex--even with "plain vanilla" image software like On1 or Photoshop I have never completely dived into masks but have a basic understanding of what they are. Even more mysterious (to me) are the masking techniques in PTEAV in terms of the mask, then the mask stencil, then the mask contents. I sort of understand what these things are but knowing how and when to use them is the missing link for me. An analogy with regular photo enhancing programs like Photoshop is that some people can look at the starting image and know precisely what needs to be done to achieve a certain result. That escapes me.

chanfi22, petitsaxo, Appreciate your comments! Good luck. Alex

Most likely, playing 4K 60p video at double speed in the preview was already pushing the limits of the PTE and your computer. In V12, we completely rewrote the video playback code (the algorithm for loading and displaying frames) to improve smoothness and to support smoother playback of variable refresh rate videos (these video files are becoming more common now - from new iPhones). I think the right solution would be use of proxy video for real time previews. We're already considering it.

Hi, Yes, we plan to add this filter for the Quick search function in V12.

Top !! comme d'habitude Merci pour le partage "Great!! As usual. Thanks for sharing." (Google Translate)

Hi Alex, another very complex and highly successful style. Thank you for sharing it with us. All the resources will be invaluable to me for creating variations. Well done!

SeismicGuy, Thanks for the comments! Well, if you look closely there's nothing but sets of Masks.(I call them Compositions) Inside them we have Animation, either by Keyframing or using Video. I'm not the expert by any meaning, but these 2 are the major power of this app, to my mind. Hope some day we'll have tool like Pen. That moves Mask power much further. Anyway, thanks again. Best Alex

Thanks Igor! I think maybe some video editing programs refer to them as "proxy" files. That might work well. At this moment, the vast majority of videos that I use are from my Galaxy phone at 4K resolution (3840 x 2160), 60 fps (sometimes 30 fps). The project I previously sent you is typical except that I would use many additional clips. HOWEVER, what I don't understand is that this exact same video/project works and displays just fine in version 11! The speed up is not displayed in the Trim dialog, but it definitely shows the speed up in the O&A window, in the main program preview window and in the preview accessed by pressing the "Preview" button (none of which show the speed up in version 12). I even added a second similar video clip and speeded it up 2X and the same is true with both clips in the project. Try opening my project in version 11 and see if that is the case for you also. I understand that the "Trim and Adjust" window is probably all brand new code in version 12, but I assume the code for the other windows hasn't changed that much. Let me know if you need me to try something else.
