Ray, Did you have this problem before you updated Windows 10 to v1803 on this computer? Current version of PTE works better with HD video clips when you export your project as a MP4 video. It's very difficult task to mix HD videos with images and animations in real time (for the EXE format and fullscreen preview). In future PTE 10 we will introduce new video decoders which use hardware acceleration and it should allow playback of projects with HD video clips (and probably 4K videos) in EXE format and fullscreen preview. I spent several months exploring this task and I wrote new code for PTE 10. All code for work with videos was fully rewritten in PTE 10.

Barry, Earlier before PTE 9 we had only Speed parameters (time modifiers). Our idea was to introduce universal modifiers which can change any animation parameters, including Speed. In future version I plan to intensively use modifiers for future Slide styles. We have an idea of a couple new modifiers which will allow to create new impressive effects (PTE 10 or PTE 11). A modifier(s) is really useful when it can help to replace more complex animations created in many keyframes using 1-2 modifiers. Of course, it's not always possible. Look at my demo which I created using modifiers. Each snowflake uses modifiers to create a random unique motion. Also you can see a pulsing light in windows of the house: https://files.wnsoft.com/picturestoexe/demos/Snow-Dissolve.zip https://files.wnsoft.com/picturestoexe/demos/Snow-Dissolve-src.zip

Dave, Thanks for the excellent demonstration of Modifiers!

Dave, Thanks for a very good demonstration of Modifiers!

Lin, Thanks!

Hello Ann, We very apologize for these difficulties with your payments! I will contact with PayPro Global right now to solve this problem. I just sent you a personal message with a temporary license key for PicturesToExe Deluxe 9.

Bert, Try the following approach: 1. Click to a font list button. A list of fonts should appear on the screen. 2. Then press Up and Down arrow keys many times. You will immediately see a real result for your text object. Also you can use PgUp/PgDown/Home/End keys for a fast navigation in the list of fonts. 3. When you find a necessary font, press Enter key to cofirm the choice and close the list of fonts.

And almost 16 years of this forum

Barry, Thanks for checking

Hi, Please check the updated version 9.0.20 Beta, the main window of PicturesToExe. https://files.wnsoft.com/test/picturestoexe-setup.exe We changed the code of File tree to avoid error message which may appear in case of disconnected virtual folders (Adobe Creative Cloud).

Thanks, Barry, Can you please check again a speed of the forum?

Roel, That's correct. NVIDIA option will give the error message if you run any EXE show created before PTE 9.0.17 or before PTE 8.0.23. I'm sorry, buy we can't do anything with this. You need to re-build EXE files in the new PTE, or run shows using Intel option. Probably future NVIDIA drivers will fix it for old EXE shows for laptops.

Dave, Windows SmartScreen appears when you run any single EXE file (unsigned) downloaded from Internet in Windows 10. Safe EXE show (with a WnSoft's signature) should not give this problem. 2. I never saw the second screen - "Search for app in the Store...". Probably it's a new feature of updated Windows 10? Does this message appear when you run Safe EXE file?

Hi Roel, This problem was described recently here. For some reason certain laptops with NVIDIA graphics crash in EXE shows and PTE under Windows 10 April 2018 update (version 1803). We found a solution in PTE 9.0.17 (or later), or PTE 8.0.23 (can be downloaded from WnSoft website). I recommend you 2 possible solutions: 1. You can ask authors to re-build EXE files with new versions of PTE 8.0.23 or PTE 9.0.19 2. Or you can run these EXE shows on Intel graphics (select an EXE file in Windows Explorer, call the popup menu, and choose run EXE file on Intel integrated graphics). With Intel graphics this problem doesn't occur. Anyway, laptops with NVIDIA graphics demonstrate poor performance under Windows 10 April 2018 update, and Intel graphics works better. PTE since v9.0.18 uses Intel graphics by default on such laptops. P.S. Did you receive my reply by email which I sent you 3 days ago?

Barry, Can you check again the forum. I just checked - any page of the forum opens within 1 second for me today. P.S. All WnSoft servers are located in northern France (OVH).

Since PicturesToExe 9.0.14 the limit for EXE file size is 3.9 GB. Regardless of 32 bit or 64 bit version of Windows.

Barry, Please check a speed of PTE Online Help: https://docs.picturestoexe.com/en-us/9.0/main# It's located on same server as this forum. So we can compare results. I recently changed location of DNS records and upgraded PHP from v7.0 to v7.2. Also please check speed of wnsoft.com server.

Barry, Thanks for telling me. When first time you noticed this problem? Can you compare speed of main WnSoft website and Slideshowclub?

Manuel, Thanks for this demonstration.

Hi Lin, If I understood rightly your question, PTE 10 can export slides with a transparent background to PNG image. Example (click to the image to get the original PNG file with a transparency):

Jill, This feature will appear in PTE 10. This code is already done.

Gary, We will return to this idea in future. Thanks. I also would like to see this effect.

Thanks, we plan this kind of Blur. I'm very interesting in this effect. But probably not in PTE 10.

There is one difference. Crossfade for 2 linked clips in same track is not possible. Next linked clip will cut ending of a previous clip.

OK, we can try to allow linking of several audio clips to same slide in the timeline view. Did you notice any side effects of this usage (linking audio clips in the Project Options) ? Jill, I added your suggestion to my TODO list.
