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. The Link:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AZ2WpLGz8D2W7BP5wm-wks4vAxL9GxJD/view?usp=drive_link Best Alex55

Hi Gary, All smartphones and cameras use hardware video encoders which should work in real time, and this applies certain limitations. To reach the best visual quality (less artefacts) these encoders set the highest bitrate (about 100 MBit for 4K videos). And this high bitrate is used for any kind of scenes - with many fine details (trees), or for scenes with less details (sky, snow, walls, etc). Software video encoders have more time for more effective use of bitrate. PTE AV Studio uses the newest smart mode of a video encoder which dynamically changes a bitrate according details in a video scene for each frame. It works like a JPEG compression in Photoshop where you set say "10" of compression quality and resulting JPEG file has different file size according pixel size and fine details in a picture. In other words, "High quality" preset (100%) in PTE gives a similar result as using "10" in Photoshop for saving JPEG. Try to create a new simple project with blank images and one text caption on each picture. No transitions (quality transition) for each slide. Encode a MP4 video in PTE with 1920 x 1080, High quality, 60p. I guess that you'll get a MP4 video file about 300-500 KB (less than 1 MB). Then replace blank images with JPEG pictures of landscapes/flows/trees and the resulting MP4 video will be about 10-20 MB. Add Dissolve transitions or any Pan/Zoom animations and MP4 file will be 30-50 MB. Then add videos, and file size will be 50-150 MB.

Hi Gary The problem will be your monitor or video card. It is probably at your maximum on 1920 x 1080 and cannot display 4K (3840 x 2160). I know my monitors cannot and I have a high quality video cards (hundreds not thousands in cost) lots of RAM, diskspace etc. I use 4 monitors so the monitors are the weakest point. The bottle neck for all technology is the weakest point and everything is slowed to the weakest size/quality. Cheers Mark

Greetings, I had a bit of concern how would the video clips from my new Insta360 X3 camera would work with PTE. I just gave it a test run with a couple clips from a recent trip. The re-framing (panning) was done in the Insta360 desktop app. The 2 exported MP4s were put in PTE where the text and music was added. Came out pretty good, I think. Gary

Greetings, I made a bit of a mistake in my original post about the files that the Inst360 creates. I now better understand what is going on. For each clip, the Insta360 creates one '.lrv' file with two '.insv' files. So, in my posting screenshot, instead of what I thought were files for only 2 clips, it is actually for 4 clips. For example, the '001.lrv' goes with the two '001.insv' files. The '002.lrv' goes with the two '002.insv' files. Kinda crazy but fun to work with, etc. (The two '.lrv' files for each clip are one for each camera). Gary

Hello Alex55. As usual, this is a superb achievement, with the possibility of bringing out old photos from the image library to build an interesting audiovisual one. thanks for sharing Rene
