Thanks Dave, Will try adding a muted sound track and see what happens.

Might be wrong but I think it is because there is NO soundtrack? A muted sound track might be the answer in this case. DG

I have a 1000+ image show (mp4) that has each image on screen for a couple of seconds before they fade into the next one which works well. There is no sound / music included as it is designed to play silently as background at a music gig. Last time I played it on a Samsung TV, when the show opened, there was a message displayed by the TV that "the sound track was not supported" or similar wording. What do I need to do to avoid this message? Thanks for any help.

Thanks for this demonstation. Glad that V11 was useful for this task.

Happy May Earthlings! I had another very busy month, but here's a brand new track for you on my Fantasy 13 page: "TROUBLE IN DREAMLAND" https://soundimage.org/fantasy-13/ As always, it's 100% free to use with attribution, like my thousands of other tracks. Enjoy! :-)

Sometimes we want to show two (full-screen) images at the same time by blending them together. With analogue slides we had the additive blending on the screen. In PTE we can put image 1 on top of image 2, and we can set the opacity of image 1 to 50% (alpha-blending). This is indeed an addition, but only with half the colour values. This is the reason why the results of this kind of blending often show a lack of contrast. Since version 11 PTE we can use the feature of "Nested Color Filters", the value of which I noticed only recently. In the situation above, it allows us to overcome the restictions of alpha-blending, and we can create additive blends in which the images have higher proportions than just 50%. An application is shown in the attached project: KerzePlusLaterne.zip A bit more sophisticated methods have been applied to create the following video (texts in German):

Dave, Many thanks for both a very prompt and beautifully simple reply - works without issue. If only everything in life was that simple!! Thanks again.

Make a copy of your .vob file and change its extension (.vob) to .mp4 in Windows Explorer. You can then add it to your show. DG

I have been asked to include a "VOB" video file into a show and am wondering how I can achieve this? This format is not shown in the "approved" video format list and would appreciate advice as to how / if I can convert this file to a useable format. I know there are online "converters" available, but I have have a paltry 0.8Mbps upload speed so would be very slow!! Many thanks for any help with such a "simple" query!

Thanks Jill and Rosemary yes tedious at present.

I am hoping that the text module will be updated in the next PTE release. It is cumbersome to have to copy and paste text slides especially when there are lots of text slides in the show. Rosemary

Kieron, Xenofex2, Appreciate your comments. Best Alex

Like it! Brilliant. Thankyou.

Excellent as always, Kieron

SeismicGuy, petitsaxo Thank you guys for the comments. Alex

No, not as such. The text size is dependant on the Zoom parameter. If you want the same size, font and position on all slides, then set it for one and copy and paste to the others. Jill

Ia there anyway of setting the font size for the project

Sympathique ! merci pour l'idée à développer

Very clever

Hi everybody, Here's a Slideshow project I think could be used to create kind of funny, "Vintage" look. I like to use it for modern pictures. You can use the Styles in any combination and length. Just don't forget to adjust the Position and Scale of your photos. Best Alex55

Glad you liked it! Really beautiful!

Wonderful images one has difficulty in appreciating that they are paint on a substrate (I guess canvas).

Thanks for watching and rating!

Nice work!
