  1. Newbie Questions [STILL NEED HELP PLEASE - no reply after 2.5 months]

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi,

    Sorry, I missed this topic earlier.

    Firstly, I have created several styles.  The duration is 3.5s with a transition time of 0.8.  When I apply the style directly to an individual slide, it works fine and the duration is set as expected.  However when I include the style in a theme, the transition time of 0.8 is correct, but the duration is set to 4.3s  - As 4.3 is the sum of 3.5 and 0.8, I assume that I've set something wrong. What do I need to look at to get this to work?

    If you selected SEVERAL different slides and want to apply a slide style (which requires 1 image) WITHOUT changing the slide order, you need to check the "Keep slide order" option in the Slide Styles window before applying the style.
    Also I recommend you apply slide styles in the mode of Slide List (not in the Timeline mode).

    I recommend for a new slide style (or theme) start a new project where you only have one or a few slides for that style. Delete any unused slides to avoid unexpected behavior with slide durations. If the planned style has 1 images (1 slide), keep only 1 slide in this special project.

    P.S. Additionally, try Create/Apple Quick Style functions (in the main menu > Slide menu). It works within current session of PTE AV Studio and this function never changes slide duration or transition, it applies only slide animations with objects.

    This problem shouldn't occur because the slides are preloaded (3 slides forward).
    Tell me, where are the files (images, video clips) added to your project located? Local SSD or HDD drive, external USB HDD drive, or network drive?
    What antivirus do you use?
    What is the average slide duration (in seconds)?

  6. Add a new 15 FPS publish option for timelapse videos

    in Suggestions for Next Versions

    Posted

    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.

  9. HEIC / HEVC support

    Thank you.  Why am I not seeing the HEIC files?

    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).

    I'm new here and I have just started a project in PTE AV Studio on macOS 26.  I have many images from my iPhone in "heic" format.  When I browse them in the file list, the colors are all wrong.  I would appreciate assistance in correcting this.

    Hi,

    Please try a new version on your Mac with macOS 26 Beta. Now HEIC images should be shown correctly:

    This version includes only one this improvement. The About window shows v11.0.18 Build 4.

    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.

  14. V11 Videos Flickering

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    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.

  15. V11 Videos Flickering

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    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!

  16. Colour Rendering

    When I load my images from photoshop int PTE they are over saturated. Is there anyway to adjust the colour in PTE?

    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.

    Unfortunately it seems that PTE does not respect my choice in fact it always changes the timing of the slides especially in those positioned before a video, (for example a photo before a video is on 7 seconds and the video on 25 seconds, I save and when I reopen the project to continue working the photo is on 25 and the video on 7 i.e. inverted and I really do not understand why, so every time I have to check and change the timing again before being able to finish and publish, also generally the slides go from 5 seconds to 7, while PTE changes them some are 3 seconds others 9, it is really frustrating.

    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.

    I'm in the very same boat. I purchased PicturestoEXE V9 Pro with the promise the license was good for "all future version", then WNSoft just did the old bait'n switch, called it a "new program" and left me hanging. There were literally NO new versions... The program went directly from PicturesToEXE V9 Pro to PTE AV Studio and got called a "new program".

    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,
