Hi, In PTE AV Studio 12 (Beta 15+) we've added a new "Blending" mode to the Mask container with support for 9 blend operations: Linear Dodge (Add), Subtract, Multiply, Screen, Lighten, Darken, Overlay, Hard Light, and Soft Light. To use: place the first image into the Stencil, and the second image into the Content of the Mask container. You can add video, text object, rectangle object, or multiple objects (several images, for example). Watch a video example. Click the play button: BlendMode.mp4 BlendMode.zip

Testing...

I shot this video on my drone yesterday and then saw the new features in V12 that Igor recently released. Had an idea about using some of the imagery with the new features. This type of Blending Mode is a great addition for my creative energy. Regards Mark

I'm posting these early, and I was going to wait till version PTE AV 12 came out, but I Say to Hell with That!!! FYI: Not looking for your Gold, just hoping you can use them. Free just what it means, no BS., no login's or any other jazz. Here is the web links to my web site: These Files are in Zip Format. Fractal Noise Backgrounds Demo: https://www.pnwhiker.org/FracNoA/FracNoA.htm Fractal Noise Backgrounds Zip File: https://www.pnwhiker.org/FracNo001/FracNo001.htm Note: These Gif's will loop endlessly no matter the time length of the clip.

I have now had a chance to play with Blend Modes. As I no longer use Photoshop & do all of my image editing within PTE, this opens up so many new creative possibilities. Thank you so much for this great new feature. PTE just gets better & better. Jill

Hi, We've added Blend modes in PTE AV Studio 12 (Beta 15) today: https://www.pteavstudio.com/forums/topic/55029-blend-modes-in-pte-av-studio-12/

In the warmth of a mid-afternoon sun, aplatypus glides effortlessly through a creek in northern New South Wales. Barely disturbing the mirrored surface, it weaves between submerged branches and over sandy shallows, its sleek brown fur glistening whenever it rises for a quiet breath. Shafts of sunlight dance across the water as dragonflies skim the surface and a kingfisher waits patiently from an overhanging tree. or a few precious moments, the ancient monotreme has the creek entirely to itself. Unhurried and perfectly at home, it searches the muddy bed with its remarkably sensitive bill before disappearing beneath the amber water once more. It is a fleeting encounter, but one that serves as a gentle reminder that some of Australia's greatest natural treasures are found not in grand landscapes, but in the quiet creeks that continue to shelter wildlife much as they have for millions of years. Ironcally, ornithorhynchus was one of the longest words I learnt to spell in school over 50 years ago. Made in PTE V11 and captured on Monday afternoon after the previous drone lighthouse video was captured in the morning. Some days are diamonds and some days are gold.

Hey Igor, I'd like to congratulate you and your team on this great feature. We're going to be able to put on a lot of great shows with it. Just wanted to say thank you—I really like it. Best regards

Hi Mark, very fine result

Mark, thanks for this example of using V12 blending modes in a real project.

Check the "About" window to make sure you're using V12 Beta 15 and the Pro version. We've provided a free Pro Beta key for testing (see my announcement about the V12 Beta). A choice of Blend modes is not available in the Standard version, but they will work if they've already been added via a slide style or template.

Mark, you can change the Blend mode (operation) in the Properties of a Mask container. Look at my screenshot above, I have highlighted this setting with a yellow line.

Hi Igor very interesting feature, tested and working well. This opens up new creative possibilities for us.

You now have an understanding of why some used images are highlighted in blue and others not. If you are not going to create Styles you need not worry about the rest. Most people should be able to manage with "Quick Styles" (or not use Styles at all) and in these cases the Main Object numbering need not worry you. If you have a specific problem you are welcome to Message me - there are lots of others who will be willing to help. Good luck, DG P.S. There is a way of getting ALL used images highlighted in blue but it is not very elegant!!

Greetings Fellow Creatives! My quest continues to make every looping track on my site available in higher-quality Ogg format, so this week we have: "THE ITALIAN HEIST" You can listen to it here: https://soundimage.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/The-Italian-Heist.ogg And freely download it here: https://soundimage.org/world/ "CHUGGIN' THROUGH COLOMBIA" You can listen to it here: https://soundimage.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Chuggin-Through-Columbia.ogg And freely download it here: https://soundimage.org/world/ As always, all of my music and sounds are 100% free to use in your projects with attribution. PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING MY EFFORTS Here are some cool ways you can help: https://soundimage.org/ogg-game-music-mega-pack/ https://soundimage.org/ogg-music-packs-2/ https://soundimage.org/donate/ See you in July! 🙂

Thanks a lot Igor!!! This option is great! My dream

Hi, Glad that your like the new blending effect in V12

Although I never use Slide Styles, as I understand it - If your Slide Style needs 4 images that appear in a certain order, then if you number the images 1, 2, 3, 4 then they will appear in that order. If you don't use or create Slide Styles, then don't worry about it. Jill

The first image/object that you drag into the slide list is automatically designated "Main Object 1" and its name turns blue in the File List. All subsequent object in the same slide are left blank and are not turned blue in the File List. You can manually assign an Object number in O&A and these are used when creating a Style. The way in which multiple images are applied in a Style is determined by the order of the Main Object designations. See Styles in the OH. DG

Thank You Igor. I look forward to testing this later Jill

I have to admit it has never been quite clear to me as to how or why something is designated "Main Object" in the O&A properties tab and/or the number of the object.

Thanks a lot!!!

Could it be that what you are both seeing is the fact that ONLY Main Object 1 Images are shown as used by the Blue Text? If you have a BG Image, it will be Main Object 1 and any Images added (on top) will not be designated as being Main Object. DG

Taking advantage of the new transition editor in Pte AV Studio 12, which saved a lot of time when creating them, I made 20 transitions, each approximately 10 seconds long. In this case, the slide has a duration of 9.90 seconds, the same as the transition. I'm including a link in case anyone wants to try them. https://javier-pteavstudio.blogspot.com/2026/06/particles-transitions.html
