Beta 11 is available See the download links above. Improved the Trim and Adjust Speed window (for a video object): Added Undo function (Ctrl+Z). Hint for a selected keyframe shows the source time and the playback time. Minor improvements.

Hi Malcolm, I assume you have PTE AV Studio 10.5? I just checked and created 2 projects in V10.5 - a menu and second show. There are 2 buttons in the menu for launching the second show: "Run Application or Open Document" and "Run Slideshow with Return". It works perfectly on my PC with Windows 11 (25H2). I've attached a ZIP archive with these projects. Try it on your computer. Create 2 EXE files and place them in the same folder. Important note: for best results, I recommend using the "Run Slideshow with Return" command. It ensures you return to the menu after the second show finishes. The only requirement is that both EXE files should be created in the same version of PTE AV Studio. If my simple menu works correctly on your computer, carefully check again your project: 1. Commands for buttons. 2. If you use the "Run Application..." command, make sure the "Pause show when slideshow window becomes inactive" option is selected in the Project Options > Advanced tab for the menu project. 3. Also make sure the slide in the menu has a sufficient display duration or even uses the Pause mode after reaching the end of the slide. RunAppTest.zip

JRR thanks a lot

Thanks to Alex55 for the Viewfinder Template. I used it to put together a few pix from a show photo shoot. A higher resolution version is on my photo site. Majestic Tango, Barclay Theater, University of California Irvine Majestic Tango Behind the Camera-template anestudio55-720_2.mp4

canaro99, henry64200, Thank you for your kind words! Best Alex

I really like it; I might use it to make a trailer for my video montage for the 60th anniversary of a tiny football club... I’ll give it a go... Thanks for sharing... Thanks a lot, Alex jmc

un coucou pour te remercier de tout ses magnifiques cadeaux de Template un régal !!! un Grand Merci Henry

Very clever, well done. Nice use of the software

I've been doing this for years, creating a Menu PTE executable file to run a programme of AVs using either buttons, text, or thumbnails to trigger the AV using the "Run Application or Open File" command, and at the end of the AV it returns to the Menu ready to start the next AV. This works fine in Windows 10. It does not work in Windows 11. I have tried it on two machines and at the end of the AV it does not return to the Menu, it just quits. It is as if the "Run Application or Open File" command has been programmed to "Run Application and Exit". If I make the Menu in Windows 10 it will play correctly on a Windows 11 machine, suggesting there is a conflict between PTE AV Studio and Windows 11.

This is a simple example of working with text. The program's features allow you to make similar animations. It was possible to complicate the appearance of text layers with masks, but it would be difficult for an inexperienced user to understand. Of the three options I tested, the last one turned out to be the easiest, where a pair of frames rotated 90 degrees relative to each other along the Y axis and placed in the third frame, allowing you to move the entire composition vertically. I will consider any comments as an aid in studying the program.

Very creative, thanks for sharing this.

Great advice.

Very nice work!

Thank you for your help and for sharing your amazing work with us. I couldn't have done it without it. I'm studying it carefully now.

I've added a link to the first post, thanks for commenting, Renato.

I tried to recreate it following your example, unfortunately with disappointing results. If you would like to make your project public, we would all be very grateful.

Hi bad dancer another one nice idea and the result is great. thanks for sharing

Hi everybody, Love this song. Tried to find suitable Styles to fit. Here's the result. Note, this is 16x9 Aspect ratio, so choose pictures accordingly or crop the aspect to 16x9. Best Alex55

AI is wrong (how surprizing !). The very first (very basic) version of PTE has been released on July 2nd, 1999. Version 1.60 was published on February 24, 2000; version 2.0 was releleased on March 21, 2000. And so on, and so on. There's a very well informed story (based on Igor's own statements) written in 2008 by Marcel Boi, French AV author, which I attach in PDF; of course, it's in French, which is good for you. "PTE - what a story" is the translated title, it counts 14 A4 pages with many screenshots of the new features of the different versions of PTE. pte_quelle-histoire.pdf
