Happy New Year, fellow creatives! To kick off 2026, I've created a couple of brand new music tracks to share with you. As always, they're 100% free to use in your projects with attribution, just like my thousands of other tracks: On my Funny 8 page: "A WILD PARTY IN DOCTOR STRANGEVOLT’S CASTLE" – (Looping) https://soundimage.org/funny-8/ On my Chiptunes 5 page: "PIXELTOWN HEROES" – (Looping) https://soundimage.org/chiptunes-5/ OTHER USEFUL LINKS: My Ogg Game Music Mega Pack (Over 1400 Tracks and Growing) https://soundimage.org/ogg-game-music-mega-pack/ My Ogg Genre Music Packs https://soundimage.org/ogg-music-packs-2/ Custom Music https://soundimage.org/custom-work/ Attribution Information https://soundimage.org/attribution-info/ Enjoy, please stay safe and keep being creative. 🙂

Jill, thank you for your quick and accurate response!

The MP4 just contains the trimmed part. If you make an exe then it will contain the whole video but only show the trimmed part. Jill

The new transitions in version 12 work quite well, in my opinion. But I have the impression that the transitions already present in previous versions don't respond well when clicking on the buttons. The buttons are difficult to click, and the transition doesn't follow the desired direction on the screen.

Please tell me, when we trim a large video in PTE, does the resulting MP4 file include the entire video file or just the trimmed portion?

Nice Demo, it should be very useful for Panoramas and Animation. DG

Hi, Smooth Move modifier was introduced in V11, but probably not everyone may know how useful it can be. This demo shows how the Smooth Move modifier improves animated panoramas when you change a direction of motion at a middle keyframe. Without the Smooth Move modifier, you'll see a sharp, unnatural break in the movement direction. With the Smooth Move modifier, the image smoothly changes trajectory with natural momentum, gently rounding the sharp corner. If you have 3 keyframes and a direction of motion changes at the 2nd keyframe (in the middle), you need to add the Smooth Move modifier to that 2nd keyframe. The "Smoothing (%)" parameter controls how much the motion is smoothed. I recommend to keep the default value 100%. Note that Smooth Move also creates smooth starts and stops, giving the motion a natural, momentum-based feel. If you're using simple motion between just 2 keyframes, use the Smooth speed modifier on the 1st keyframe instead. In this case, don't use Smooth Move.

Thanks Igor, I have downloaded and installed it.

Hello Igor, PTE developers, and forum members. Best wishes for a happy and wonderful 2026. Do what you like and if you cannot do that like what you do. Cheers Mark

Google doesn't allow the use of any screen filters on some system pages, for example: a blank page, web store for Chrome extensions, preferences of Chrome, etc.

Not all pages show the effect of this extension. For example, this page doesn't:Not all pages show the effect of this extension. For example, this page doesn't: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/screengrain/amgkkiknaaofelhmokbhiidcganljcjh Maybe I don't see it or am I doing something wrong?

Happy new year for you Igor, your family and your team, and to all of us ! A good health of course, this is the most important ! And a well-deserved succes for PTE 12.

Thanks, Igor! I found this effect surprisingly interesting. It's truly pleasing to the eye, even though my monitor isn't glossy. It's like reading a newspaper.

Thanks, Igor! I really liked it and found it useful. There are some parameter adjustments!

Thank you Cor and jienense, and good point for clarifying that the image comes from a PNG file. Pascal.

Hi, I wrote a small free extension for Chrome browser. If your eyes get tired reading text on glossy monitors, or you find it hard to focus on smooth high-resolution screens (especially 4K displays) - this might help. The extension adds a barely visible pixel grain texture that gives your eyes something to focus on. Works great on Retina and high-DPI displays. It's completely free. I spent just one day making it during the weekend. Not related to PTE AV Studio, just sharing in case someone finds it useful. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/screengrain/amgkkiknaaofelhmokbhiidcganljcjh

Hi Pascal, I see this problem with different results after applying the same color filter(s) in V11 and V12. Thanks! We'll fix it in Beta 3.

I tried with a JPG file. Your image of the plane is a PNG file, and indeed, only the lightness setting works there in v12. Greetings, Cor

I think it might be the file type; you can try this one. In version 12, the tone and saturation adjustments don't work for me with this file.

Hallo Pascal, I see color in v11 and v12 with the same image and settings in Hue/Saturation. My impression is only a small difference in brightness (which actually shouldn't be the case of course). Greetings, Cor

Hello everyone, I’ve noticed a difference in behavior between versions v11 and v12 when using the Color Correction filter. With the same image and identical Hue, Saturation, and Lightness settings, the final rendering differs depending on the version. This is an issue for me because I use this filter in some of my styles and transitions to colorize elements within the animation. In v12, these elements now appear in grayscale, whereas they were colored in v11. Below is the same image with identical settings applied in v11 (first) and v12 (second):

Hello Igor, I also wish you and your team a very happy new year, first and foremost good health, and of course, continued success in providing us with high-quality software that we use to create beautiful things. PTE allows us to unleash our creativity and have a great time. Happiness and peace to all.

Thank you, I tested and is good now! Happy new Year!

Happy New Year to everyone. I hope 2026 brings us world peace and lots of photos to use in PTE 12. Rosemary

Happy New Year to all. Peace and health!
