Thanks, I’m glad you like them and that they can be put to use.

Hello SoCu, A very nice set of geometric transitions. It’s varied and very well executed. Thanks for sharing!

Wouldn't it be nice if the 'File Name' window gets populated automatically once you do a 'File Open' of a .pte file from File Manager? It is a pain to have to hunt through the folders to locate the folder with the associated images once the .pte has been selected and populated in the Slides. Gary

Hi! In case you like geometric shape transitions, here is a link if you want to try them out. https://www.mediafire.com/file/owcke2r14qhaw8z/Geometric_shape_transitions.rar/file

Thanks Igor. It's good to know that I can use my old Apple Magic Mouse as a Plan "B".

Hi Gord, We'll try find this Logitech mouse (or one similar one) for testing. If we notice a difference in scrolling behavior between PTE AV Studio and other programs on Mac, we'll rework the code that handles mouse input. I'll get back to you later.

Hi, Thanks. I’ve added the missing Spanish version of this page, so the link should now open correctly.

The same thing happens to me, too. Changing the address manually—that works. https://www.wnsoft.com/en/blog/royalty-free-music/

Pere, what is your language set to? DG

After thinking about you suggesting different programs and set-ups, I thought I would try using my Apple Magic Mouse on my backup Mac; seeing as the Magic Mouse has horizontal scrolling. In Lightroom, Lightroom Classic and iMovie it works exactly the same as my Logitech mouse; the expected operation. Of note is that it ALSO works the same way, as expected, in PTE AV Studio! When the cursor is positioned in the file list, scrolling vertically works, scrolling horizontally is disabled. When the cursor is positioned in the slide list, scrolling horizontally works, and scrolling vertically is disabled. Obviously the issue is the mouse set-up. I'm not sure if it's something within PTE AV Studio or the Logitech software that is causing the unexpected behaviour. Thanks, Gord

Hi Igor, Thank you for the follow-up. It makes sense that you concentrate on the 'typical' setup. I had not thought to check and compare how my mouse works in iMovie. In Lightroom Classic, when the cursor is in the image display area in grid view, the vertical scroll wheel scrolls through the images and the horizontal wheel is inactive. Positioning the cursor to the filmstrip area, the horizontal scroll wheel scrolls. Interestingly, the vertical scroll wheel also scrolls when the cursor is posotioned in the filmstrip area. In iMovie, when the cursor is positioned in the browser area, the vertical wheel scrolls, the horizontal wheel is inactive. Positioning the cursor in the timeline window, the horizonal wheel scrolls and the vertical wheel is inactive. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you would like me to do any further testing on other programs or set-ups. Thanks, Gord

Hi, Could you check how the mouse works with other programs on your Mac or Windows computers and compare with PTE AV Studio, specifically in programs that have list (panels) with both - horizontal and vertical scrolling? For example, the free iMovie app on Mac might be a good candidate for such a checking. It’s difficult for me to verify this myself, as we don’t currently have Logitech MX Master 4. Our assumption was that the typical, primary setup on Windows and Mac - a mouse with a single scroll wheel or Magic trackpad on a Mac.

Hi, Could you clarify where this link ("Get free music") is located? In PTE AV Studio (Project Options), forum, or WnSoft website? 2. And what link do you see in your browser when the 404 error appears? Please copy the exact URL from the browser. I'll check the link.

RAW images are not supported. We recommend using JPEG or PNG images. Other supported formats: HEIC, PSD, BMP, TIFF, GIF, WEBP, and AVIF.

Something about "getting our hands greasy" and tinkering under the hood.

Greetings, Ok...I cleared the Recent Recent Projects and started over. When I open a .pte from File Manager, the Slides get populate with the show's images. Ok. But then I have to go to the directory list and find the associated folder for the images to appear in the 'File Name' window. Wouldn't it be nice if the File Name window gets populated automatically once you Open a .pte file from File Manager? It is a pain to have to hunt through the folders to locate the associated images once the .pte has been selected and populated in the Slides. Gary

Check the type of file for one of the "missing" files - is it RAW perhaps? DG

Greetings Igor, I had already updated to version 12, and I updated to import setting from the previous version. Haven't had any problems. However, when I just updated to of 12.0.5 (just the free update), the problem started. When I do a File/Open and choose a .pte show, PTE will show the images of the show in the Slides. But, the 'File name' window in PTE retains the files from a previous show or jumps to some other unrelated list of Directories. It does not populate with the files from the show I just opened. Didn't do that before or am I just losing my mind???? There is something not right and it only started when I did the free update to the current 12.0.5 version. The fact that the 'Open Recent Project' did not show any of the recent projects, and only showed very old projects, there is something not working correctly since I did the update. Gary

When populating a new show with photos, the folder display is missing many files. Not sure if this is because of the trial copy and number of files is limited? When using Adobe Bridge, which shows all files, dropping files is not permitted. Please advise.

I uploaded a poem to chatGPT and asked it to create a slideshow. Each line in the poem stanza added one second to the slide duration. It was interesting. I still prefer manual creation over the AI version. Tom

Hi Garry, We didn’t change this behavior in V12. When you installed V12 for the first time, the program prompted you to import settings from the previous version (V11) on first run. You need to confirm this action. Right now, you can uninstall V12 and reinstall it, importing your settings from V11. Sorry, I'm not sure that understood rightly. When PTE is opened, you can open projects from the main menu > File > Open... or by clicking the Open icon in the top toolbar. The File panel displays only images, videos and audio files. Not project files.
