Roan, I need to think, I'll take a break until Monday. If it possible, please record a screen video how you type words in a text box.

Roan, Could you check a couple of things on the problem PC: 1. Which exact keyboard layout is set for French? Windows offers a few variants (e.g. "French", "French (Belgium)", "French (Canada)" or "French (Switzerland)") - please check under Settings > Time & Language > Language & Region, or Control Panel > Language, and me us know the exact name. 2. Do you have any additional software installed that hooks into keyboard input? For example, keyboard remapping tools, macro utilities, clipboard managers, or specialized input software. P.S. Denis, thanks for your comment!

Thanks for these details! Can you switch to the English keyboard layout and type English words, for example "Hello"?

Hi, PTE AV Studio 12.0.2 Beta is available: Fixed an issue where editing or changing a previously assigned custom transition on a slide would incorrectly select that transition on the "Transitions" tab in Project Options. Fixed an issue with a text comment displaying a video file name on a slide using a text template. Download for PC: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/pteavstudio-setup.exe Download for Mac: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/PTE-AV-Studio.dmg The About window shows v12.0.1 Build 3.

Interesting problem. 1. If you have V11.0.21, could you check it there? Now about V12. 2. Let's try to figure out if this problem occurs with any text or specific letters or words. Try typing: Hello, world Then try typing in French. Try typing different French words. If some work, but others don't, give me exact examples. For example: Merci - doesn't work (won't print any symbol) Bonjour - works Hello, world - works 2. Check another text field (box) in the Objects and animation editor. Add a new Text object, and in the Properties tab, try typing text in the text box. Same words.

Hi Roan, Do you mean the Comment box field, as shown in the screenshot below? It works for me. Does the vertical cursor line blink when you click inside an empty text field? Can you paste some text from Windows Clipboard (Ctrl+V)? Do you see a popup menu on the right mouse click? With commands Undo, Redoe, Copy, Paste, etc.

Roan, thanks for the confirmation!

Please can you translate your message to English (Google Translate, DeepL, ChatGPT) and tell in more details.

We fixed this issue. Try the new v12.0.1 Build 3: PC: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/pteavstudio-setup.exe Mac: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/PTE-AV-Studio.dmg

Hi Roan, Thanks for your message! I confirm this issue, we're already working on the solution.

Thanks for confirmation! By the way, there was a funny error in the code. Instead of cutting out the file name, it cut out the beginning of the file path, and the letters were mixed up. That's why you saw "sresU" > "Users" – the beginning of the file path on macOS.

Tom, Please try the updated v12.0.1 Build 2: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/pteavstudio-setup.exe https://files.wnsoft.com/test/PTE-AV-Studio.dmg It includes only one fix for this issue.

Tom, I reproduced this issue with a text comment and main video object. Thanks!

Hi Tom, Sorry, I missed your initial post in the Beta section! Please send me a small test project (ZIP archive with a .pte file and 1 image). I've already tested it on my Macbook Air M3 and also Windows 11 PC - everything is OK there. I suspect the problem is related to some specific characters in the full file path, I'll need to check this.

Hi Kieron, Did you clear the cache of audio clips in the Preferences window (main menu > Settings > Preferences)? We didn't touch this code (waveforms for audio clips) in V12. Please let me know if this problem will occur again. I'm glad that you like the new V12! By the way, ZIP archive creation is also several times faster than before.

Hi Kieron, The program was unable to read the audio files, or the cache file was corrupted. Could you tell me what antivirus software you're using? It may be creating a delay when opening the audio file, causing PTE AV Studio to determine that the file is unreadable. The second possible cause is that the audio files are located on an external network storage device. A similar cause is a delay in opening/reading the file.

Kieron, thanks, I've updated the link. Try again.

Hi, In PTE AV Studio 12, we fully rewrote the interpolation algorithm between keyframes - it has greatly improved the smoothness of speed modifiers over long time intervals. For example, if you use a speed modifier ("Smooth") to create a long panorama (20 seconds) with a fast pace of movement, V12 demonstrates a smoother beginning and ending for the animation than V11. At slow panning speeds, there is no noticeable difference between V11 and V12. LongPanorama.zip

Dave, Thank you very much for this update and your help!
