Tom, thanks for sharing! Great work.

Tom, thanks for your suggestion. In theory we can add 15fps option. In fact, video encoder in PTE is very smart. For this type of content a difference in file size between 15p and 24/30p will be negligible (around 20%). Just turn off the Hardware acceleration option for better compression. The encoder understand that it's the same picture with dissolving transition. You can compare existing 30p and 60p options to check a difference in file size.

Hi, Yes, you can download V10.5 for Mac: https://files.wnsoft.com/pteavstudio/previous-versions/PTE-AV-Studio-10.5.12.dmg and activate the Mac version with your current license key for V10 Pro. You can use one license on 2 computers - Windows and/or Mac. If you forgot your license key, you can recover it on this page: https://www.wnsoft.com/en/pte-av-studio/lost-license-key/

Hi, For Mac users running the new macOS 26 (Beta): Fixed problem with wrong colors in HEIC images. Improved compatibility. Download: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/PTE-AV-Studio.dmg PTE AV Player for Mac: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/PTE-AV-Player.dmg (About window shows: 11.0.18 Build 5)

HEIC images are supported only in the Mac version. Not on Windows. We plan to add full HEIC support in future. HEIC is a very complicated format. It's based on Apple file container + array of HEVC videos (tiles) + meta information (color profile).

PTE AV Studio and Optimiser can read (and play) videos in HEVC format. On PC or Mac. PTE AV Studio on Mac can read images in HEIC format.

Thanks for checking and confirmation!

Hi, Please try a new version on your Mac with macOS 26 Beta. Now HEIC images should be shown correctly: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/PTE-AV-Studio.dmg This version includes only one this improvement. The About window shows v11.0.18 Build 4. PTE AV Player (if you create shows for a Mac): https://files.wnsoft.com/test/PTE-AV-Player.dmg

Hi, it looks like you're using Beta version of macOS 26 Tahoe - the final version has not been released yet. I confirm this issue with HEIC images in the current Beta version. We're checking the code and will try to fix it before the final version is released. You can wait the updated version or convert HEIC images to JPEG format.

Roger, I've sent you a personal message through the forum messenger, please read it. If possible, send me a screen recording. In V11 we use newer version of DirectX 3D rendering. I don't remember similar issue with video flickering. The most likely updating of Intel graphics drivers will cure this problem.

Hi Roger, If I understood rightly, you observe this problem only in a full screen Preview and in the Mini Player (in the main window). Right? Try to restart Windows to check if it helps to solve this issue. 1. Please can you describe in more details - what exactly you see? Is it skipping frames during video clip playback (choppy playback)? Or some flickering on the monitor? 2. Do you add video clips at HD 1080p quality, or 4K UltraHD? 3. Try to open the Sample Project, included with PTE AV Studio. Browse the Main menu > Help > Open Sample Project. 3rd slide contains a video clip with a slow motion (a pelican bird). Do you see the same issue on this slide in this project? 4. Tell me about a configuration of your PC (graphics card). If this problem persists, I recommend to manually update drivers for your graphics card (NVIDIA, AMD or Intel). P.S. Jill, thanks for your advices!

Hi, Are you using a monitor with a sRGB standard color space or an advanced monitor with a wide color space (Adobe RGB or P3)? If have a standard monitor, try to add some test JPEG image with sRGB color space sRGB to your project and compare colors (with Photoshop). You need to determine where exactly this issue occurs - with certain images or with all images.

Hi, I apologise for this problem. Probably you use an old release of V11 ? Please check the About window in PTE AV Studio. I highly recommend to install the latest version 11.0.18. Just download it from WnSoft website and install. All your settings and projects will be saved. I remember there was a similar issue which was solved more than one year ago.

Hi, You can find more commands to adjust slide durations in a special button menu (in the Timeline mode).

Hi, I understand your feelings. Probably you had a hard day. I belive that there was a misunderstanding. For PicturesToExe 9.0, we did not promise free upgrades to the next major releases (10.0 and further), even if the program was called PicturesToExe). You can check out PicturesToExe 9.0 order page on the Internet Archive (May of 2017, two months after the release of V9): https://web.archive.org/web/20170503164507/http://www.wnsoft.com:80/en/picturestoexe/buy Quote: "One year of free updates provided (performance improvements and bug fixes)." We provided free updates (bug-fixes and small improvements) more than 2 years - until May of 2019. The same upgrade policy was for V8 (released in December of 2013). For V9 users we still offer the upgrade to the latest V11 for $49 (from Deluxe to the Pro) or $36 (from Essentials to the Standard). Instead of the full price ($149 or $75). I believe that it's not large fee to get a new major version with many improvements new exciting features! Anyway, you can continue to use the purchased version unlimited time. Some our nearest competitors switched to subscription based pricing model and you have to pay annually 99-250 euro! It's much more than you paid for PicturesToExe. And our other closest competitor (Proshow) went bankrupt in 2020 - they did not dare to introduce a subscription! We need your support, while users purchase upgrades we can continue to develop new versions of PTE AV Studio (PicturesToExe) and introduce new functions and effects. With hope on your understanding, Igor,

Hi Barry, Thanks for sharing! Fantastic landscapes. Some pictures remind me the UK, I remember that you live in Australia.

Jan, In future PTE 12 we added new 2 modes: Chromatic displacement and Dynamic gradient map. It will give you more creative possibilities.

Robert, glad that you solved that issue. Good luck!

Robert, OK, I'll wait for a result.

Hi Robert, 1. Does this issue related with a certain MP3 audio file? 2. Where exactly this beep sound occurs: at beginning, in the middle, or at the end audio file? 3. Compare a full screen preview and created MP4 video file 4. Please check again the original MP3 audio file in some audio player to make sure that it does not contain any audio defects at the same time point. 5. Check the Timeline view in PTE AV Studio. Audio waveform may reveal defects in audio files - you can see a high peak in a waveform. Try to create a simple test project to reproduce this problem. You can upload a ZIP archive with your simple project using Google Drive, WeTransfer.com . Use a special command - Create backup in a ZIP from the main menu of PTE AV Studio.

Hi, Thanks for your interest to PTE AV Studio! Create a single EXE show file (not fullscreen preview). Just tested - works. However, keep in mind, that this is a simple protection.

Hi Tom, I agree with you, we'll try to improve these mouse pointers in future V12.

Hi Tony, Yes, the stabilisation mode automatically decides how much zoom is needed to effectively stabilise a video frame (even if you set the Expand to "0"). However sometimes (rarely) small black bars may appear on the edges in case of strong shaking in a frame. In this case, the Expand option will help to correct a frame. Also if even the "Strong" stabilisation mode doesn't help to stabilise a video frame (or if you want a perfect stabilisation!), the Expand option gives the stabilisation algorithm more screen space for more effective stabilisation. Try values between 5-10 for the Expand option. Consider another mode - Camera Lock, if the movement in the frame is small (shooting handheld, but the operator tries not to move a camera, not to turn a camera). In this case, stabilisation will be ideal, as if you were shooting from a fixed tripod. I've checked many video files from different sources, from different cameras. Normal or Strong modes do a good job for 95% of shaky video files without using the Expand option. In the following promo video, I've used Strong mode for a stabilisation of the 1st video (Expand = "0", by default) and Camera Lock mode for the second video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWu-IlXTDvE P.S. Jill, thanks for your comment!
