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

Hi everybody, Love this song. Had some Styles composition in mind and here's how it looks. There's link to the Styles. Like always replace Files "replace Me" with your images or videos. Best

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

Hi, here are some transitions I've created with the help of a friend who gave me a hand with a few minor issues. Since these are my first ones, I'd like to share them with you. https://www.mediafire.com/file/0kqiuqzxbo61z9f/Papel_Unido_v.2.rar/file

Hi, In PTE AV Studio 12 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

A little late, but... I have a small gift for you in connection with the release of version 12 of the program. A set of transitions for your creativity. I hope you find them useful. Thank you. ZigZag Fold Transitions PTE AV 12 includes three transition options: A standard package of four transitions, A 9x16 version for vertical videos, A version with sound effects. Download link below the video on YouTube

The song concept and lyrics were completely written, directed, and produced by my partner, while AI was used to shape the instrumentation and vocal layers based on original human songwriting. The music video features a blend of actual video footage and photography (mostly mine), some of which was animated with AI. Entire video created in PTE AV. I hope you enjoy it.

Hi everybody, The idea of the Slideshow was the illustration one of the new PTE V.12 feature-Blending Modes. This is basically variations of the one Style--Screen Blending Mode. The set of pictures placed in the Stencil Container and the Background Composition-in the Mask Content. There's some whistles and bells here and there also to make it looks more cinematic. To my mind, of course. If you like it--there's The Link. Just replace the files marked "Replace Me" with yours Media. Best Alex55

Hi everybody, Here's a Slideshow I think is good to memorize a family vacation. Just replace the files marked "Replace me" with Photo or Video of your choice. You can find them in Folders marked ".EDIT" Note you have to adjust Location and Size of the replacement. The Link provided. Best Alex 55

I hope you like the transitions for PTE. https://javier-pteavstudio.blogspot.com/

New slide styles: Zoom Out with Fade, Brush Strokes - Frosted Glass. Learn more Sound Object & Built-in Library Create engaging slideshows with impactful sound effects. The new Sound object lets you play short audio files to enhance your slideshows and AV shows. Choose from our built-in Sound Library with camera shutters, clicks, page turns, and whooshes, or import your own custom audio files. Add whoosh sounds for fast transitions, subtle clicks when images appear, or any other short audio effects that bring your slideshow to life. Adjust sound volume for individual video clips and sound objects with precision. Learn more Voice Recording on Mac Mac users can now record voice-overs directly in PTE AV Studio without external tools. Faster Project Backups & 2 GB+ ZIP Support Back up your projects 3-4 times faster, saving precious time when archiving large projects with hundreds of high-resolution images and video clips. The Create Backup in ZIP command now correctly handles projects with multiple files that share the same name in different folders. Added support for creating ZIP archives of projects larger than 2 GB. Other Improvements Blur and Unsharp mask can now be adjusted separately for parent and child objects. Export Slides to Images can now include transition effects. Hold Shift while dragging a sound volume keypoint in the Timeline to adjust it with finer, slower precision. Learn more Transition group expand/collapse state is now remembered. Custom transitions: added "Duration (in the editor)" parameter, allowing transitions to be created and previewed at any length, not just 2 seconds. Improved interpolation between keyframes for long panoramas when using the Smooth modifier or other speed modifiers. Improved installer on Windows: fonts now render larger and are easier to read at 125%+ display scaling (HiDPI support), and the installer now respects the system Dark Mode theme. Added a Japanese translation. P.S. Click the "Follow" button at the top of this page to receive notifications about new Beta releases.

Hi everybody, Love this song. Tried to find suitable Styles to fit. Here's the result. Note, this is 16x9 Aspect ratio, so choose pictures accordingly or crop the aspect to 16x9. Best Alex55

Hi Peter. I made a style similar to yours, but not exactly like the original. This is the simplest version with straight corners of the vignette. There is a style file and a project file in the project folder. I have included the project file in case you want to modify the design according to your preferences. The style name is random, but its animation resembles a similar preset with alternating images in After Effects. Photos in the style are cropped with a 16x9 aspect ratio. Keep this in mind when using photos with other sizes, or disable the "Crop" feature in the project and save the style with a different name.

This is a simple example of working with text. The program's features allow you to make similar animations. It was possible to complicate the appearance of text layers with masks, but it would be difficult for an inexperienced user to understand. Of the three options I tested, the last one turned out to be the easiest, where a pair of frames rotated 90 degrees relative to each other along the Y axis and placed in the third frame, allowing you to move the entire composition vertically. I will consider any comments as an aid in studying the program.

Transitions Broken Glass with Sound V.12 Camera Transitions_V12 Hi everyone, these are transitions I've modified for the new version of PTE 12 with sound; I'm leaving a link in case you want to try them. https://javier-pteavstudio.blogspot.com/

Hi, This feature (timeline scaling) is already on our TODO list, and I agree that it would be very useful. Let me say a few thoughts. We have many ideas for improving the product (PTE), so we constantly have to choose what to build now and what to implement later. Some ideas or features might look simple but are actually very difficult to implement, because they are deeply integrated into complex old code. Sometimes we wait to rewrite a whole large section of code so we can add several new features at the same time. We have a small team. For example, one person writes the code for slide styles, another work on the Objects and animation editor, and a third works on effects and custom transitions. There is also important ongoing work - refactoring (restructuring) old code - that is not immediately visible to users but is very impotant to ensure the legacy code doesn't break down under the weight of new features and effects. Then there is the matter of cross-platform support (PC and Mac). Sometimes we spend a long time working on a new feature or effect and hit a "dead end" - it doesn't work as intended, so we have to delay it, and time is lost. Yes, we might also make mistakes when prioritizing which features to include in a new version. We're trying to make the program better with every release, but we aren't perfect, and we ask you excuse us, if we don't always meet your expectations! In any case, I always welcome all constructive criticism and reminders about the features you’d like to see. Thank you!

Hello everyone. The project is a demonstration of the new features of the 12th version of the program, now with layer overlays. The Light Leaks overlay now works relatively correctly, relatively because the mask effect has to be applied to the entire composition, not just to a layer, and the overlay of the image on the folding paper works correctly. BD.

Igor has asked me to post a link to my new AV sequence. The background is that my AV Group had a challenge to produce a new sequence using some form of AI, either images, video or audio. I decided to make one about Yuri Gagarin's pioneering space flight in 1961. Very few images exist of this, so the use of AI was a good option to re-imagine the story. See what you think:

The Online Help for Version 12 has been updated in line with the "What's New in Version 12" posted by Igor: https://docs.pteavstudio.com/en-us/12.0/v12_wn/main Links have been added to each paragraph as appropriate. There is obviously more work to do but the OH is an ongoing and evolving document and if anyone wishes to contribute it will be hugely appreciated by the PTE community. "How to" articles are largely driven by Forum Posts for which there is no obvious answer in the OH and these will continue to be added when they arise. DG

Hi, Release Candidate 1 for PTE AV Studio 12 is available today, and the final version is scheduled for release within a week. P.S. Today marks exactly 27 years since the release of version 1.0 on July 2nd, 1999.

Hello everyone. A retro-style design project for you. Download link and description on YouTube.

20 years ago, on May 1st, we published the first Beta version of the legendary PicturesToExe 5 with keyframe animations. V5 was released on June 18th, 2007.

I put together a transition. Rotating strips. Version 12 has this new transition. If you stick with version 11 for whatever reason, you'll have the new transition, just like in version 12. Download the transition to YouTube.

Happy New Year to everyone. I hope 2026 brings us world peace and lots of photos to use in PTE 12. Rosemary

Happy New Year! May there be peace, prosperity, and good health for 2026!

A collection of videos to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2026. All videos are themed around winter, Christmas, New Year, and Christmas miracles. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone! I wish you all good health, joy and happiness, love, kindness, success in all your endeavors and more frequent meetings with friends! Enjoy watching.

Hello everyone Best wishes for a safe and happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year. I have started creating an AV of my travels this year. I was aiming for one photo per week but did not quite achieve my goal. Most weeks I take hundreds if not thousands of photos depending on location and subject. I spent 6 weeks in Europe in April - June, so there are a few more from this trip to the other side of the world. The images are captured on a mirrorless camera, drone, mobile camera/phone and 360 camera. This may not be the final AV but it will be very close. Cheers Mark

Hi everybody, The Project you see was created entirely in PTE 12. All the pictures are 9x16 Aspect Ratio. Just replace the Placeholders in " .EDIT" folders with pictures or videos of your choice. There's a Transitions ,so you can use any number of the Slides. The Link to the Project is included .

Hello everyone. I present to you 8 transitions in the “Light Film Frame” style for your creative work. The download link is in the release description on YouTube.

@Alex55 I am totally enthused with Igor's latest marvel, PTE 12 ! I have used PTE from the very begining, but have not been active in the Forum in recent years. Late last night I logged in to Wnsoft and noted with excitement the release of Version 12. I immediately read Igor's What's New, and was even more excited! My memory quickly went back to years ago being totally engaged waiting, and being some modest help to Igor, as Version 3.4 or 4.3 was about to be the latest and greatest. My late-into-the-night PTE project went very smoothly, while opening my eyes to how many features I can now try to learn and use. Igor is truly a genius, evidenced repeatedly over the years. His technical skills AND his ability and willingness to be in touch and respond to PTE Users is unmatched anywhere. I am totally in agreement with your listed experience and observations! I did have a little trouble with the timeline responsiveness, but had thought it was perhaps my slower laptop, that I don't normally use for PTE.

Hello everyone! My vacation season is almost here, and I've already dipped my toes in the water... Good vacation !!! https://javier-pteavstudio.blogspot.com/

Testing...

Version 12 of PTE AV Studio introduces a new effect mode: Gradient Map, applied to a Mask Stencil. This mode makes it possible to create dynamic visual effects using a grayscale image as a control mask. A preset called Spots is included, with fully customizable parameters. I am offering a tool that generates grayscale images specifically designed to be used as control masks for the Gradient Map effect. This generator creates images made of gradient‑based bands and provides control over the following parameters: - band structure (number and orientation) - grayscale gradient ranges (start/end values + modes) - wave distortions (sine or triangle) - natural perturbations (Perlin noise) - reproducibility (seed) - high‑definition image export This tool therefore helps expand the library of available masks for PTE AV Studio 12. The interface is originally in French, but a language selector on the web page allows you to translate it into another language. The translation may not always be perfect, but it should help you understand the meaning of the parameters. Here is the link to the tool, the parameter description page, and a demonstration showcasing several example masks generated with it: - parameter description link : https://diaporashop.com/generateur-de-bandes-en-degrade-gris/ - direct link to the generator tool : https://diaporashop.com/bandes-en-degrade-gris/ I hope you find this tool useful. A video demonstration of the results achieved: Pascal.

Very fine work. The text characters in both white and black, which allows for subtraction, work very well. More testing with masks.

Thanks to Alex55 for the Viewfinder Template. I used it to put together a few pix from a show photo shoot. A higher resolution version is on my photo site. Majestic Tango, Barclay Theater, University of California Irvine Majestic Tango Behind the Camera-template anestudio55-720_2.mp4

AI is wrong (how surprizing !). The very first (very basic) version of PTE has been released on July 2nd, 1999. Version 1.60 was published on February 24, 2000; version 2.0 was releleased on March 21, 2000. And so on, and so on. There's a very well informed story (based on Igor's own statements) written in 2008 by Marcel Boi, French AV author, which I attach in PDF; of course, it's in French, which is good for you. "PTE - what a story" is the translated title, it counts 14 A4 pages with many screenshots of the new features of the different versions of PTE. pte_quelle-histoire.pdf

Hi, We've already implemented 2 improvements in V12 Beta: 1. You can create a backup of a project in ZIP archive (or project template) that links files (images/audio/video) with the same file name (duplicate names) but in different folders. 2. Smart ZIP compression. Archive creation is now 3-5 times faster. We'll soon add support for creating project ZIP archives larger than 2 GB.

Moscow's stunningly beautiful streets, squares, parks, and plazas, decorated for New Year and Christmas. Enjoy watching.

Happy New Year to all. Peace and health!

Happy New Year! I wish everyone health, happiness, and peace!

Hello everyone Thanks for commenting and feedback on the previous version of this. I made some changes to the previous version, so if you have 5 minutes to spare, have a look at this version.

Hi everybody, Here's the Slideshow with the couple of Styles. Someone may find them useful. The link to the You Tube video and downloading files provided. Just replace Placeholders with Photo or Video of your choice. Best Alex55

Hi everybody, I 've built my first Project using PTE AV Studio V. 12.1 recently. Here's a short summary. Overall the App fills much more responsive. The export movie render time is decreases significantly. Finally we got rid of that pesky problem locating same file in different locations. .That's great! Blend Mode works wonderfully to me, opening much more possibilities . The creating backup project takes less time. The only one problem I've found so far was randomly unresponsive timeline head while Stop and Go playing the timeline. While manual scrubbing the timeline goes smoothly. I still run Quad core on Win7, so that's might be the reason. I'd appreciate if someone try to feedback me. I think the Team made a great job on keeping move this great App ahead of competitors. Thank you! Alex55
