  1. Why does PTE 11 Pro sync music to slides even though I have unchecked the box in project options?

    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.

  3. Help with product registration [SOLVED]

    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,

  10. Music Has A Beep in my show

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    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.

  11. Does limited number of plays really work?

    Hi,

    Thanks for your interest to PTE AV Studio!

    I can't seem to test the limited number of plays.  When I set it to 2, the show just keeps playing every time I run the exe.

    Create a single EXE show file (not fullscreen preview). Just tested - works.

    However, keep in mind, that this is a simple protection.

  13. Stabiliser Expand

    in PTE Video Optimiser

    Posted

    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:

    P.S. Jill, thanks for your comment!

  14. Publishing problem due to limited RAM on MacBook Pro

    I disabled Motion Blur as you suggested and was able to publish the video in about 38 minutes! The Activity Monitor showed a maximum of 31.79 GB for PTE-AV Studio. The Memory Pressure Monitor remained green throughout with Physical Memory (16.00 GB), Memory Used (13.16 GB max), Cached Files (2.84 GB max) and Swap Used (1.04 GB max). As a comparison, with Motion Blur enabled, The PTE app was showing 133 GB at one point and the Memory Pressure Monitor turned red after about 8 minutes with only 8% complete before my computer shut down.  Definitely a significant difference - thank you for your help with this.

    Hi Mike,

    We have reduced memory usage when using the Motion Blur option:

  17. finding lost slidestyles

    Dave,

    You rightly suggested Rosemary to copy and replace "Styles and Transitions" folder. Copy this folder from an old PC to a new PC.

    PTE AV Studio should be closed when you replace this folder.

    In future version 12 we'll add import & export commands to help with this task. PTE AV Studio will create a single ZIP archive. It also can be used to backup all styles and transitions and recover a broken storage to previous state by importing a previous copy.

  19. Enhance Your Videos with PTE Video Optimiser (YouTube)

    When you first showed the PTE Video Optimiser, I asked if you would make it so it could change the "Shadows and Highlights" in a video like in Lightroom for photo's.  

    You said it was a good idea and would consider it.  I really miss this feature for my videos, any timeframe when this would be done?

    Hi Bert, we got a bit stuck with the algorithm, as it turned out to be a complex algorithm. I plan to return to this code soon. This filter also could be added for PTE. I'll write you.

  20. Microphone on a Mac

    in Troubleshooting

    We almost finished a code for voice recording on Mac today. It will require Beta testing (PTE 12) to make sure that it works correctly with external and built-in microphones.

    On 3/5/2025 at 7:26 PM, jt49 said:

    In Windows we have the choice for the microphone (when recording). But what we do not have is the choice for the audio output device 🥲

    To be honest, I didn't think it was important in a non-professional recording tool.

    Hi,

    We plan to include voice recording on Mac for version 12.0.

    We're currently testing this feature. For some reason manual choice of a microphone inside the application is very complicated in macOS. So we decided to use the default microphone, it can be changed in System Preferences of macOS.

  24. 7 Hour rendering?

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Hi Reed,

    You probably have the Motion Blur option enabled. It slows down rendering a lot. I recommend trying it without it.

    Also try the Hardware Acceleration option. It should work well with your Geforce 3060 Ti.
