Hi everybody, I was trying to make a custom mask inside the PTE. Kind of. Hope some day we'll get the right tool for this. Like Pen Tool. Here's the Link:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iyA2HRLx_8qJLSHEmsCW_8xmjdG5t474/view?usp=drive_link Best Alex55

I decided to show you another version of the book, made in PTE AV 11. (I published this post as a pinned comment on YouTube for this video. Next is a comparison of the complexity of the creation process in 2 programs. If you are not interested, you can skip further text.) A little background for those who don’t know. A few years ago, the technology for creating such a pop-up book was invented by Paul (stranger2156) (of blessed memory and gratitude) on his forum. This was done in Proshow Producer. Many of us are familiar with this program, and the comparison may be interesting. I am writing this post specifically for those who are interested in comparing the creation process. Paul has published a series of tutorials explaining the principles. And many different books appeared on YouTube, including mine. The process of creating the book was very painstaking and complex. This is probably why I still remember Paul's words when he was first introduced to the PTE AV program. Somewhere in his post he said that if he can repeat that book of his in this program, then the program is really worthy. Paul has created some interesting books in PTE AV, but I haven't seen him repeat the exact one he mentioned. Maybe I just don’t know something, then those who know will correct me. So, I also wanted to repeat this book more than once, but I kept putting it off. Until I received an order to redo this project for PTE AV 11. And then I had to do it. Since everything had to be done quite quickly, I started doing it intuitively, remembering something like how we usually do books in PTE AV. Yes, I'm not a big expert in creating books, so I often got confused about the order of the pages so that they overlapped each other correctly. But nevertheless, I did everything based on intuition. This already suggests that the PTE program is easier for complex projects (books in particular). Next, I remember how I struggled with the Proshow program when I was working on this book. The program constantly behaved unstable and crashed. I thought that my computer was to blame, but it turned out that many people had this problem. But I can’t speak for everyone, I’m only telling my subjective experience. As a result, in one project I was only able to create one slide with a 1-page spread. The work was structured in such a way that each slide was created in a new project and saved as a style. Only at the very end were all these finished slides transferred to the overall project. It was not realistic to work on editing a common project. The Proshow program simply crashed. That is why this book was presented only in a set of styles that could still be edited. Then even more complex problems arose. New versions of the Proshow program were released, but it was possible to work normally with these styles (rendering) only in the 5th portable version. New versions of the program crashed during rendering, and often while opening and editing a photo. In this regard, I completely remade my version of the book for Proshow Producer a long time ago. The project turned into a set of mask footage, the only way its functionality was preserved. I will admit that this experience made me a little scared to do the same book in PTE AV. But I want to say that I did not encounter any of these problems. The program easily withstood the load of a large number of layers and PNG images. I made all 17 slides in one project, the program did not freeze or crash. Moreover, to each slide I also added 3 footage with masks for atmosphere. And closing the book in the PTE version turned out much more natural. So, the PTE AV program and its developers WnSoft! Once again I praise you and express my sincere gratitude! You are best! PTE AV = lots of beautiful books! PTE AV = ❤ Aleina

Hi everybody, Here's couple of new Styles with Transition:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MEGRUVYCXZ3KBLNKOKeT9GptAKp3xD3F/view?usp=sharing I've used them with some variations to make flashback kind of slideshow. It's posted below. Best Alex55

Hi everybody, Here's a little Slideshow I think good for kid's presentation. Just replace .Pict Placeholders with pictures of your choice. It's basically 2 Styles for Horizontal and Vertical Photos, so use them accordingly. You can repeat them in any combination depend on your needs. Thanks for watching Alex55

Hi everybody, Couple of more new Styles. Well, actually it's not new. I just partially repeat Adobe After Effects Slideshow Project I've used years ago. So none is mine, just a replica. Here's the Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pg1SYJqMrFpQ5nXfVMZovIGWFmcBoZZn/view?usp=sharing Best

Hi friends, I'm coming to you with a new book. Christmas and New Year are ahead, my family and I usually watch the Harry Potter series of films at this time. It is these films that we always associate with the Christmas and New Year atmosphere. And I wanted to make a book on this topic. I've added the ability to edit a personal letter from Hogwarts. After all, every Potter fan will be very pleased! Since I had more time (I spent 3 weeks on this project), I created the book from scratch. Revised and improved the concept. The result is already close to the ideal book I dream of. In addition, I always try to make the process of editing a project easier. But due to the large number of layers, sometimes you have to search for photos in the layer tree. This problem is quickly solved using the attached style. But our forum member John Tice told me an even better way to create projects with easy photo replacement. Thank you very much, John! And I want to tell you about this method. Perhaps it will be useful to someone. The method is described in italic text. _________________________ The concept is that 2 additional folders are created in the project folder. One with the name YOUR PHOTOS. We move all the photos of the project into it, renaming them 01.jpg, 02.jpg, etc. Open the program and tell it the new location of the photo. Save. The second folder is called PROJECT PHOTO. Initially it is empty. If you just want to change the photos in the project, but find the ones you need, rename them in order 01.jpg, etc. For safety, transfer the project photos to the PROJECT PHOTO folder, and add your renamed photos to the YOUR PHOTOS folder. Important! In order for this change of photos to work correctly, you need to check the “crop” option on the layer with the photo during the creation of the project. Then the replaced photos will be applied correctly and smoothly, regardless of their size or orientation (portrait or landscape). By doing this we will not violate the intention of the author of the project. That's all. All efforts for the author of the project consist of checking the cropping boxes for the photo, creating 2 folders, renaming the photos and moving them to the desired folder. After the program confirms the new path and file names, the project is ready to work with easy replacement of photos in the folder. In order to edit a project, a person will only need to select photos in jpg format, rename them and replace the original photos of the project with them. For those who ask about the need to create 2 new folders, I will immediately answer that it is simply a matter of convenience. __________________________ So, for those who haven’t read the italic text and are wondering whether it’s easy to change photos in a project, I answer: Easy! You will only need to select photos in jpg format (with the approximate location of the object in the center), rename them 01-14.jpg, and replace them with the original photos of the project in the folder. I plan to remake all my projects for such easy editing, as I highly value ease of use! I wish you happy holidays!

Hello everyone, Here's a style made from a tutorial created for After Effect and available on the "Effect For You" Youtube channel. For the PTE adaptation, I've slightly simplified the tutorial proposed by the EFY channel, especially by removing the particle effects on the appearance of the text. For ball movements, I've added the unofficial Damping factor parameter to the oscillation function. The style can be downloaded here. With a little advance, happy holidays. Pascal.

I decided to continue the Flying Lines series a bit. This time I used masks in the form of geometric shapes: rectangle, circle, square, oval and triangle. Download styles: https://yadi.sk/d/ho0oeLVebr7Daw Enjoy watching.

I would like to share my impressions of using the PTE AV program for 4 years. Before that, I worked for more than 10 years in the Proshow Producer program. But the time came when the Proshow developers refused to support their program and stopped optimizing it for new operating systems. As a result, I, like many users, began to look for an alternative program for my creative purposes. I'm probably not a completely standard user, since I like to create quite complex and multi-layered content. Therefore, I had the highest possible requirements for programs of this kind. I reviewed, tested and rejected about 10 alternatives. And I settled on PTE AV, almost from the first day of testing it. What captivated me about this program? This list can go on for a long time, but I will focus on the main ones. 1. Optimization. PTE AV opens projects very quickly and easily, even very complex ones. A few seconds and the program is ready to work. There is no lengthy reading of styles, transitions and footage. You can customize the opening of the program to your liking; you can make it open when you open the project you are working on, or you can make it open a new one. The program is also very fault-tolerant. Freezes and crashes over the years of operation can be counted on one hand. The development team is constantly working to optimize the program and solve every problem voiced on the official forum. 2. The program setup itself. It is very flexible, adapts to different tasks, it is very convenient! 3. Render. Fast and very high quality. Quality can be increased up to 150%. And also use motion blur if necessary. This is gorgeous! 4. Functionality! Everything is rich here! There is almost everything to realize your limitless imagination! Group layers, nested masks, 3D space, modifiers - this is just the main base. And how many more surprises you will find as you explore! Such as displacement masks or different types of blur! 5. Variability. Yes, this program helps develop creative thinking. And you may be surprised as you work that you can solve some problems in more than one way. 6. Potential. The program does not stand still. Over the 4 years during which I have been a user, many improvements, additions, and expanded functionality have been made. The program has become much more convenient to use. And work on it is ongoing. The developers are not going to abandon their project, but are constantly improving it! I wish success to the development team! Well, in conclusion, I would like to attach a link to my post, which contains a comparison of working on one complex project in the Proshow Producer and PTE AV programs.

Some of you already know we had to move home again as our landlady decided to sell our apartment. After spending over £3000 on improvements, we have to leave it all behind. We found an apartment in Darwen Lancashire & moved in on the 21st April. Our 28th wedding anniversary came around this week so I booked a table at Essence, a local eaterie. The meal also turned into a history lesson that I thought warranted a show, so here it is - 28th Wedding Anniversary in Darwen "Spitfire Town"

Hi, In all versions Create backup in a ZIP command cannot create a ZIP archive if a project contains two or more files (images/video/audio) with the same name in different folders. For example, Picture.jpg in Folder1 and in Folder2 which are used in a project. Note. Multiple files with the same name may be duplicates or unique files (for example, unique Background.jpg files in different folders). In future version 12.0 we automatically rename the second file to Picture_2.jpg (Picture_3.jpg, etc) to resolve this situation and allow to create a ZIP archive for any project. Project file in a ZIP also is being modified to use a new file name(s). Of course, the original project and its files remain not modified. What you think?

The Style shows a method of Stroking Text in PTE AV Studio. Apply the Style to a Blank Slide and Change the text to your requirements in BOTH versions of the resulting Text Objects. Suggestion: If the Slide to which you wish to add Stroked Text already contains an Image or has Animation, add the Style to a Blank Slide and Copy and Paste the FRAME into your Slide. Adjust Size and Position using the Frame. When changing the Font the changes must be applied to BOTH Text Objects. Stroked Text.ptestyle DG https://docs.pteavstudio.com/en-us/11.0/how_to_v11/stroke

Managed to capture a few hundred shots of this tiny little bird (Male and Female) with my digtal camera last week. Images edited and cropped square for social media. They had been quite shy and elusive but saw some more this morning strangely enough. Made some of them into a slide show using a Style shared by DaveGee - thanks again DaveGee. Cheers Mark

Hi I did not use an offset map in the slides. In this work, I applied an offset map to text and photos. It turned out to be such a slide show.

Igor, Will it be possible to add a Sound Object directly into a Custom Transition in a future version? DG
