Hello. This is one of the new projects for your use. All animation is done by means of the program. Any comments are welcome. Download link and description for the Youtube video.

Hi friends, I want to make a comparison of work in the Proshow Producer and PTE AV programs again. For example, I chose a project that I initially did for Proshow Producer. But I have long wanted to do it for PTE AV, since it demonstrates the wonderful animation capabilities of the program well. This project uses only 3 gifs and no footage at all. (Although in PTE I would have managed without gifs. I was just lazy, since I already had gifs). All animation is done using png images and several sprites. Working with animation in this program is much more convenient and I improved many processes. It is much more convenient that you can link layers without complex manipulations. This is very important in character animation, since there are many separate elements of one character. And each element is animated separately. But all this should be a single whole. Also, various special effects, such as bursting soap bubbles or glittering stars, are conveniently made with sprites. I also really like working with sound in PTE AV. Many sound effects make the video more interesting. In Proshow Producer, I had big problems adding sounds. There is a limit on adding 1 sound per slide. And if more than 1 sound is needed? I had to convert sounds to mp4 and add them as video files, setting their visibility to 0. And there was often a desynchronization with sounds. In PTE AV, I added more sounds than in the original, finally I was able to implement all my ideas! I invite you to watch. Can you guess which of the pictures are gifs? If you are interested in the project, the link for purchase is given under the YouTube video. Aleina.

There is no limit to perfection! We'll think about how to develop this new product, but we want to keep the simple interface and low price. Now our main efforts are concentrated at improving PTE 12.

Hi Igor, Thank you to your team for such great programs and for listening to users! I have a long-standing dream of functionality that I would like to see in both PTE and Video Optimizer. This is the ability to copy at least such settings as color correction. There are always a lot of numbers, it is difficult to remember them, you always have to use a notepad to make similar settings in another file. In Optimizer, so that you can copy the settings to another file. Or make it possible to replace a file with ready-made, applied settings. I used to make suggestions for such functionality in PTE, so that you can copy NOT ALL, but certain settings to another keyframe, as well as to an object on another slide. And I was offered several options, such as making a copy of a keyframe or a copy of an object or a copy of a slide, but believe me, I know and use all of these methods, but they are far from suitable for all tasks. As a result of my projects, I get such sheets of paper in which I myself then get confused. Maybe someday...

Congratulations and thanks to the Team! This is absolutely the must addition to the PTE! So far just couple of questions: 1.Do we have to Import converted Video into the Project or it going to be somehow linked to the Video Optimizer and done while rendering the Project? 2. In order to compare the results it would be great to have Option to turn applied settings off/on momentarily. Once again thanks a lot. Great work! Hope we'll see more upcoming surprises Alex55

Sort the images before importing by Date/Reverse order or Name. Apply the style to the images before or after importing. Publish as a video to view. Many newer cameras have a video timelapse option. Camera shutter speed should be 1/2 capture frame rate to add motion blur. If you capture at 5 second intervals the shutter speed should be 2.5 seconds. Thanks, Tom Update: Sep. 5 2025 Added 15 fps and 24 fps styles. Update Sep. 6, 2025 Added frame blending (dissolve transition) style for smoother video. Blending attempts to add synthetic motion blur but can create ghost images for fast moving objects. I also renamed regular version to quick. Update Sep 10,2025 Frame blending moved to another post in this thread. Timelapse Quick 30 fps.ptestyle Timelapse Quick 24 fps.ptestyle Timelapse Quick 15 fps.ptestyle

Here is a version of a timelapse of the sun rising before dawn at a local beach. Thanks Tom

A recent camera club subject was Style. Here is a short AV I made about my "style".

A short AV of infrared images from a visit to a local national park this week.

Nice work, Aleina! So much has changed since Photodex went out of business. I originally started with PTE around 2002 I migrated to PS shortly thereafter and stayed with them until the end. For what I needed, the workflow was easy and the results worked well for me. The best thing that happened with the PS end was their recommended alternative. Not satisfactory to me at all and I found my way back to PTE AV Pro. I haven't looked back. I discovered your PS and PTE work. In fact, I've bugged you for a couple of conversions (thank you!). Your work is top notch and I've used several of your templates for grandchildren, new births (family and friends), and other occasions. Your templates make easy, fun gifts! I better stop or someone is going to think I get a commission. 😇 Keep up the good work. I highly recommend your templates.

Hi, We did this small improvement for V12 today.

It is utterly brilliant that this problem was solved so quickly by Igor and his team. Where else would you get this phenomenal level of service?

In V12.

I was having difficulty stabilizing a video with Normal and Strong options, but Camera Lock level 5 was able to remove the high frequency movement. Thanks Igor.

Please make sure to watch in HD Quality and Full Screen. These are some Street Portraits from 2008-2012, mostly in Portrait Format.

In addition to Jill's comments: Files or Images which are added to a Slide in Objects and Animation are not automatically assigned a "Main Object" Status. Until a Main Object Status is assigned the Highlighting does not take place in the File/Image List. It is the Main Image Status which determines whether or not the Highlighting takes place in the File/Image List. DG

To Igor and all forum members, Merry Christmas and a happy, safe, healthy, and prosperous 2025.

Thanks for the great price, Igor. I bought the PTE Video Optimizer today. This truly is excellent value for an excellent product, and I will be telling the good news to others.

Frogs generally don't croak when a light is on them. Thanks to a technique shared by Craig Mayne in another photograhic group, I was able to capture this series of 68 images last night. To croak, a frog inflates its lungs, closes its mouth and nostrils, and forces air through its larynx and into its vocal sac. The air then passes back and forth between the vocal sac and the lungs, causing the vocal cords to vibrate and produce sound. This side on view endeavours to show this process. I recorded the sound of the frog calling on the mobile but flash and sound are not sync'd. With some editing it could be improved but the sound does give some idea of the process. I am not sure that any more will happen with this so spending more time is probably not warranted. Camera set up on tripod - framed and focused, flash modelling light off, capture the 68 images with flash when frog starts croaking. Grateful to have this wildlife in my backyard and the very patient frog who assisted with this process over a few hours. Full frame Sony A7RV, Sony 90 mm Macro Lens, Godox Sony Flash plus pateince and practice. Cheers Mark

I recently purchased a M4 Pro Mac mini with 24 GB of memory and 1 TB SSD. I added an Samsung T7 external 4 TB SSD for multimedia files. Performance and compatibility with PTE have been excellent. PTE can create a show (data or video) with four perfectly smooth 4K videos on a split screen. The Mac mini is very small and low power computer that is powerful enough for video editing. For many years Windows was my favorite operating system but as I grow older I find Win 11 more difficult to use with features that I do not want or need. I am very happy PTE runs natively on Apple silicon.

Me too! I can't imagine adjusting a video clip without having the audio tracks (with my Atomos recorder I often record on 2 different stereo tracks), and these tracks must be of adjustable height. Currently, PTE only takes into account the first stereo track, which forces me to go through Da Vinci Resolve to prepare my video clips. For the moment I continue to use Da Vinci Resolve to edit the videos, since unfortunately PTE does not offer me the tools I need. Igor, I am sorry to have to write such a negative message, because usually I greatly appreciate the work you do with your team and I am the first to promote it.

Hi everybody, I try to achieve Cinematic look in this short Slideshow Project. Nice song from the 70's... Note than the Pictures order in Project is not the order they've been shown in the slideshow. So adjust accordingly. Find and replace them in the .EDIT compositions. Here's the Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1n_PdwioGxaYItQXgma92-DyfIeTvPgU2/view?usp=drive_link Best Alex55

In current version it's not possible, sorry. You can only partially perform this editing. Your suggestion is very good and I've added it to my TODO list for PTE and Optimizer app.

Mark, glad to hear this! Thanks for your feedback. Currently the new product is not integrated with PTE AV Studio. We plan to implement this a little later. We consider the Undo/Redo functions for the next major version.

In the past, I have never shot any video. But, I will now, this looks great.

That's good to hear! I used "Strong" preset (for the city) and "Normal" preset (the flower). Expand = 0 for both cases. "Expand" option can be used together with the "Strong" preset if you still observe some undesired shaky motion in a picture. This option will crop some part of a video picture (edges) reducing undesired motion. I recommend to try Expand = 5...10% When you use "Strong" preset, the program analyzes 30/30 frames (forward/backward) for each frame to perform the optimal stabilization.

Many thanks for sharing these excellent examples for video stabilization function in PTE Video Optimizer! Looks very convincing. I think this function can be very useful for old videos when cameras didn't have optical stabilizer, or it didn't work well.

This is perfect for my needs with PTE. Early experimenting with the program it functions well. Count me in as an early adopter. Kieron

This year, summer has slowly turned into a beautiful golden autumn. Autumn pleases with its beauty, a variety of yellow and red colors. Walks in the park and in the silence of the forest among the rustle of falling leaves give a wonderful mood. Enjoy watching.
