Hello Ray, Currently PicturesToExe officially supports only video up to 1920x1080. The existing version of ffmpeg codecs may work unstable with higher resolutions. Regrettably we can't do anything with this problem. I recommend to wait for the future version 9.0 which uses newest ffmpeg codecs and try it.

Hello Tonton, It's a good idea. Thanks.

Hi, Regrettably, I didn't hear about Dominique (theDom) a long time. I hope that he's OK.

Ray, I'm very sorry, but I can't help in this case. If you have EXE file I can try to recover a project manually.

Ray, Try to restore an old version of that file using Windows 7/8. See here: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/11130/restore-previous-versions-of-files-in-every-edition-of-windows-7/

Ray, Do you have EXE file created for the lost project?

MUR, Please give me the exact link to your show which you want to remove from the Slideshowclub.com.

Hi Jeff, I checked all settings in the IP.Downloads software which is used for Slideshowclub.com. It seems that members can't delete own files. Only administrator can't do that. Please send me a personal message with the links to your shows which you want to delete.

Hi Max, Thanks for the new purchase of PicturesToExe! Please visit this forum to learn when version 9.0 Beta is available.

Hi Ray, The screen of iPad Air is 2048x1536, aspect ratio is 4:3. However all iPad devices can play video only up to 1920x1080: "Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p" http://www.apple.com/ipad-air-2/specs/ You have two variants: 1. Create 1920x1080 video (suggested by PicturesToExe by default). 2. Or create 1440x1080 video (4:3) which fills the entire screen of iPad without black strips. In Video for mobile devices window click "Show more options" button and enter custom resolution: 1440x1080.

Thanks for your responses! I'll wait for further commentaries to hear more opinions.

Hello Max, We apologize for these problems! 1. I've checked your order (2099696-001-7UC) and discovered that it was cancelled for some reason. I can't tell more details here on the forum. Please send a request to PayPro Global on this page: https://payproglobal.com/support/customer-support Once PayPro Global update a status of your order, I'll send you a new license key. 2. Regarding the problem with MP4 video output in VMWare on Mac. Regrettably we can't guarantee work of PicturesToExe in VMWare virtual PC. Usually it works correctly. Probably this problem will be solved in future version 9.0 because we use the new versions of video encoders.

Hi, While we are working on future version 9.0, I've created the experimental version 8.0.16. This version includes three changes: 1. Cover slide mode in the Project options, Defaults tab. You can assign Cover mode for main images in all slides. This option is being applied only to landscape images, portrait images stay with "Fit to slide" mode. 2. Cover slide mode is activated by default for main images in a new project (unless you modified the Blank project template). 3. Aspect ratio 16:9 is choosed by default (instead of 4:3). Dowload the test version 8.0.16 here: http://www.wnsoft.com/files/test/picturestoexe-setup.exe What you think about these improvements?

Hi, I expect the beta version this summer and the final version at the end of this year. This version will be very important with key improvements.

Tom, Thanks, please see my reply in that topic.

Hi Tom, Thanks for your suggestion! We're considering this solution (manual Z-sorting in keyframes) and also automatic Z-sorting. Probably we will implement both variants. We don't hurry because we're trying to find the optimal solution.

Hi all, Thanks for your opinions! We will not hurry with deletion of custom windows without a good replacement. Don't worry. Our main technical difficulties are related with Startup window. As I understood this feature is not often used? Regarding custom windows and possible alternate solution in future. We could add possibility to show/hide usual objects on the action (mouse click). Also we could improve opacity control to hide a group of objects using one opacity parameter without complicated masks. A possibility to make invisible a group of objects in the O&A editor (not in a real show) better organize work with objects.

Tom, PTE uses true 3D space for graphics. All objects are located in 3D space. But there are certain limitations. For example, no Z sorting.

Barry, I de-activated that function. Now users should contact to administrator. This situation should not appear any more.

Barry, I removed that report.

Hi, Thanks, Windows 10 is not ready yet. Test versions are intended for developers and they may work not stable. We checked work of PicturesToExe 8 in Windows 10 Build 10074 (April, 2015). Everything worked correctly. P.S. My personal opinion - Windows 7 is much better than Windows 8 or 10.

Hi, Does anybody use Startup window, Help window or custom windows? We think to remove these features in v9.0, because they complicate PicturesToExe and rarely used. What you think?

Hi Tonton, Excuse me for late response, I caught a cold. I confirm the problem with editing of some video files in PicturesToExe VideoConvertor. We're replacing video encoders and decoders in future version(s) of PicturesToExe now and I hope that it should solve these issues.

Hi, Try to uninstall & re-install PicturesToExe. If it doesn't help, try to change available parameters for the virtual computer in VMWare. I think that VMWare users could face with a similar problem with other software products running in VMWare. And VMWare can prepare the update soon. Next version of PicturesToExe will contain completely new code for video output and it also may help.

I'm not sure that this feature will be highly requested. Audio timeline should display several tracks, the main window also shows the mini-player, file tree and file list. There is a lack of space. Also PicturesToExe is not audio editor. We don't want to compete with professional audio editors. In the most situations the mixed audio waveform is enough to create AV shows.
