The new Sound object lets you play short audio files to enhance your slideshows and AV shows. Add whoosh sounds for fast transitions, subtle clicks when images appear, or any other short audio effects that bring your slideshow to life. Adjust volume for individual video clips and sound objects with precision. Voice Recording on Mac Mac users can now record voice-overs directly in PTE AV Studio without external tools. Slow-Motion and Video Speed Control Take complete control over video playback. Adjust video speed using key points - speed up, slow down, or freeze the action exactly where you need it. Insert pauses inside your video clips to emphasize key moments. The new frame interpolation creates smooth slow-motion effects by blending frames together, eliminating jerky playback when slowing down your footage. Modern Video Formats and AV1 Encoder Create content for social media and the web. PTE AV Studio 12 adds full support for vertical video (9:16 for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels) and square format (1:1 for Instagram posts). New resolutions including 2560x1440, 1080x1920, 720x1280, and 1080x1080 cover all modern platforms. The "Auto" resolution preset automatically matches your project settings for quick exports. The revolutionary AV1 encoder produces videos up to 50% smaller than H.264 while maintaining the same visual quality - perfect for web publishing. The improved Video Export interface with "Show/Hide Advanced Options" keeps things simple yet powerful. The "Fast decode (web)" option creates optimized videos for quick loading and playback on your website. You can even pause video encoding and resume later. New Creative Effects Bring your slideshows to life with stunning visual effects. The Dynamic Gradient map creates color transformations and artistic looks. Chromatic Displacement map adds glitch effects and distortions for modern, eye-catching visuals. The Instant speed modifier disables interpolation between keyframes for snappy, precise animations. Blur and Unsharp mask can now be adjusted separately for parent and child objects. Quick Search. New Slide Styles and Transitions Find the perfect slide style or transition instantly. Type a keyword and PTE AV Studio will show you matching results immediately. No more scrolling through hundreds of options - just type "zoom", "push" or "fade" and get what you need. New transitions: Spots, Push Smooth, Rotating Linear Wipe. New slide style: Zoom Out with Fade. Faster Project Backups Backup your projects 2-3 times faster. The Create Backup in ZIP command now supports multiple files with the same name in different folders. Save precious time when archiving large projects with hundreds of high-resolution images and video clips. Other Improvements Export Slides to Images can now include transition effects Improved audio/video synchronization and smoother playback for variable frame rate videos HDR video support (Rec.2020 and HLG color spaces) Smaller executable show files (reduced by 3 MB) Transition group expand/collapse state is now remembered P.S.

Well, finally, we've finally got it! Thanks to Igor and the team for the pre-holiday surprise! I loved all the new features, each one is useful and improves the functionality of our favorite program! I especially appreciated the sound object, as it's been a long-awaited need. I think we'll get some interesting transitions with sound! I also really liked the ability to use video with keyframes, it's fantastic! I also really liked the RGB displacement effect (hello, glitches)! And you can definitely create something beautiful with the gradient map! Overall, thank you for your work! We'll try out all the new features and write more about them. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Absolutely love the sample project included with the new beta! Will be wonderful to explore many of the new features by going through those images and transitions. Much easier than aimlessly clicking buttons or printing out Igor's description sheet and looking for the updates. Great job and beautiful images, Barry Beckham! And I love the winking koala at the end! One of the changes that stands out to me so far is the ability to use a parent object to change the colors and opacity of it's associated children. Having to modify those settings for each one of those child images / objects in the past was a bit annoying.

Merry Christmas to you and your team Igor! Thanks for the early Christmas present! I look forward to working with this new exciting version!

Hi, Please share your impressions of version 12.0 Beta. If you find any problem, please start a new topic for each one. Happy Christmas! Igor,

Hello to all forum members. I bring to your attention a festive Christmas video. Description and download link for the YouTube video. Congratulations on the wonderful upcoming holidays. I wish you creative success and good health.

I understand how important this option for you (dynamic random slide order). We removed this feature in 2013 (since version 8.0) for 2 main reasons: 1. Technical complexity - this option made it very difficult to add new features to PTE. It created problems with: - Project duration (when "Keep full slide duration" is enabled); - Audio files linked to slides; - Linked video clips; And possibly other issues. 2. Modern workflow - most users now create video files instead of EXE shows, and random order is not applicable for video files at all. As an alternative, we added a new command that randomly shuffles slides once when you edit a project. I understand this doesn't meet your needs, but unfortunately we can't bring back the old feature due to these technical limitations. I'd be interested to hear what other users think about this. P.S. I moved your original message to a new topic here.

Hi Mary, Thanks for your wishes and response! We haven't yet updated Sample Project for the new effects in V12. It will be done later before the final version. Hi Aleina, Thanks for your first impressions on PTE 12 Beta! We hope to add more new functions and effects before the final version. Try new built-in transition "Spots". It uses a new Gradient displacement map effect added in V12. You can recreate the same effect in a custom transition or slide style. We added a new preset/template for a mask stencil - "Spots" (when you choose "Gradient map" mode. Setting "Width %" parameter around 1-5 in the Mask container object you can reach more sharp edges of this effect. Also I recommend to try a new modifier in Animation speed > Instant. It disables smooth animation of parameter (Pan, Zoom, Rotate, etc) between 2 keyframes.

Merry Christmas and happy New Year to everyone! We wish peace, joy, and good health to all of you and your loved once! Alex55 The Link to the Project files provided
