Barry, Don't worry, I'm reading this topic right now.

Thanks, Peter! I confirm this problem. We'll fix it in v7.5.3

I think the new way to run a fullscreen preview from selected time position is more logical. We have a mini-player and fullscreen preview is a work of the mini-player in fullscreen mode. Also please take in attention that now this preview starts from current time position (not from slide number as in previous versions). New users who used video players or YouTube player will find same controls to run fullscreen mode (the button, and double-click to a picture).

Dave, Thanks for letting me know about this problem. 1. Can you easily reproduce this error message again in v7.5.3? 2. Please install previous official v7.5.2 and try to reproduce same situation. Will it occur now? P.S. The code of VideoBuilder didn't change since v7.5.0.

Jill, Next version will have better support of Unicode. We need to rewrite some old code (more than 12 years).

Fading Fading of a picture to a black screen and appearing of next slide. Simple custom transition effect for a project with any aspect ratio (16:9, 4:3, etc). Requirements: PicturesToExe Deluxe 7.5 or later. Fading.zip

Dave, I remember. I'll try to fix it. Thanks.

Thanks for confirmation! We'll include this fix to next update 7.5.3 You can use this test version as main version for now.

I created a new section on the forum: Custom Transition Effects 1. Add a description to the topic for supported aspect ratio. 2. A first post should include source files of custom transition effect (.ptef file and resources). 3. Demo show in EXE file or YouTube is welcomed. Xaver, Dave, Please copy your transition effects to the new forum from this thread:

Dave, Please try this test version: http://www.wnsoft.com/files/picturestoexe/picturestoexe-setup-beta.exe It should solve these problems with custom transition effects.

Three ways to run a fullscreen preview from selected slide: 1. Double-click to the mini-player (right-top part of the main window). 2. Or right click on the mini-player. 3. Or click "4-arrow" small button (below the mini-player).

Yes, Thanks to Tom for this idea!

Dave, Nice effects! Thanks. P.S. I can create a new sub-forum for custom transition effects.

Dave, There are missing JPEG images used in these effects. Please check up custom effects files?

Dave, We need to modify a graphical engine for new features and optimizations. In v7. 5 masks work even faster than in previous versions. Regrettably this old Intel video can't handle mask objects in large resolution for PicturesToExe. Quality and functions of Intel video cards are lower than NVIDIA/AMD. I'm afraid I can't do anything more here.

I think the problem in Windows 7 or antivirus software.

Gary, This problem is solved now in v7.5.2 today.

Xaver, Please try v7.5.2.

Done.

PicturesToExe Deluxe 7.5.2 is available now Download: http://www.wnsoft.com/files/picturestoexe/picturestoexe-setup.exe (12 MB) List of changes: * Fixed bugs with management of custom transition effects. * Masks didn't work (7.5.x) on some old Intel video cards. * Fixed problem with incorrect values in Canvas Size tab in Adjust Image and Border window. * Minimum value for Pan Z is changed from -1000 to -1000000. * Fixed bug with displaying of waveforms in some old projects. * Fixed bug with visibility of choosed slide after switching from the timeline view to slides view. * Fixed issues (in v7.5.1) with edge-antialising of Image and Video objects.

Peter, We just fixed this problem. The solution will be included to v7.5.2. Thanks again!

Thanks, David!

Paul, Regrettably we can't reproduce this problem. Please can you test these two shows on another PC or laptop?

Xaver, I confirm this bug! It appeared in v7.5.1. In 7.5.0 it is OK. We'll try fix it quickly in the update 7.5.2/ Thanks!

Dave, 1. What size you choosed for a video output? Width/height. 2. Will this problem occur with smaller size? 3. Please say me exact name of your Intel video card. 4. What is your screen resolution?
