I really do like the new effects in the beta version. I have received great compliments about the shows that I have used them in. I now make animated greeting cards and send them to family and friends. Thanks for your great work.

Thanks so much. I haven't downloaded the beta version. Do you find the the beta is usually safe to use before the final version?

I agree that it is a great show. I cannot speak french at all so my question to anyone is; how do you do the page curl that he used in the show? I know how to do the page fade with PTE but not the curl. Thanks for anyone's help with this, Shelton.

We sometimes jump before we leap. Welcome to my world. I should have known to check with the person instead of wondering and guessing what he had in mind. God bless, Shelton

I too did not understand the ending. I uploaded a small show named Steve's New House and I was worried that it would not meet with approval. The reason that I did it was because I was having a problem uploading shows with my broadband connection. They will not let anything over 10mb go out. I sent an email telling Beechbrook to delete it if he needed the space but he was very nice and said that it would automatically delete. It may have been the reason that this show was uploaded; to see if it worked.

You did a great job! It took a lot of work and the song went with what you did;Paint with the colors. If I could only have enough control of my hands to select the subjects the way that you did. I too will show it to the grandchildren and I'm sure that they will enjoy it.

I'm not Roger but the way that I do it is go up to the selection tool at the top left. It's the large I. You select the amount at the end of the song that you want to fade out and go up to effect and click on fade out. That's it. Hope that this helps.

Hawk, thanks so much. I'll give it a trial. It's great getting great help.

I know that I have seen this topic but cannot locate with search. How do you do the slow fade with the show when going from internet explorer? Several shows that I have watched use this and I cannot figure how to do it and your help will be greatly appreciated. Shelton

Great show! It did create a temp folder and I am using Windows XP home. Where is this located and what camera did you use for the photos? Oh, the music is great also.

Good news! For some unknown reason after I turned the computer on this morning and reinstalled version 4.14, the sound synch works! Thanks for everyones help and wish all a Happy New Year.

Greetings from the other side of North Carolina. My wife and I live in Edenton, N.C. on the beautiful Albemarle Sound. We made it through Hurricane Isabel and had a very Merry Christmas with our two daughters and three grandchildren. Our wishes go to all of you for a very Happy New Year.

beef, I sent you an e-mail that I found my key and made sure that it is in my registry. Thanks, maybe Igor will send me an answer to my other problem with the sound. It is as if the player is not being loaded correctly.

That's the funny part! It will synch MP3 files but will not synch wav and does not recognize midi at all. I went back to the 4.01 and it works great. I thought that it may have something to do with DirectX or WMP 9 but the new version has it's own player according to Igor. Evidently something is not getting installed correctly with the 4.14. If you can think of anything, please advise me. I use Easy Cleaner for my registry and I went back and put everything back; but that did not help either. One other question; when you download and install a new version do you remove old one first or just install over top of the other one?

Al, thanks so much for the thread. I have tried everything except removing it from my computer and starting over. I'm afraid that if I do take it out,I will have to pay again because I can't find my original setup number. I have been using this program since Igor started it which is three computers ago. Thanks again, Shelton

Thanks Robin, I really appreciate the reply. I can't figure it out. I have never had a minutes problem with this program and you can't remove DirectX 9.0b unless you know a lot more than I do about it. I was hoping that someone may know the answer. Hope that you have a Happy New Year and thanks again, Shelton

I was using version 4.14 and had a problem start up with synchronizing music to the show. I have been using PTE for a long time so I'm fairly familiar with the basic controls. Recently the music would not synchronize with the show and I had checked the automatic synchronization box and was using MP3 files. I tried switching to wav and still would not work. I even tried midi and it would not recognize the file at all. I downloaded version 4.01 and installed and everything works great; midis,wavs and MP3's. I am running Windows XP home version with 1GB ram and recently downloaded DirectX 9.0b. That is the only thing that I have downloaded recently that may be causing the problem. I even tried the new beta version of PTE with the same results. I checked back the last sixty days in this forum and could not find a solution to the problem. Anyone's help will be greatly appreciated, Shelton

I downloaded and unzipped it but it would not go pass the first two frames. It kept going back and forth. Did anyone else have this problem?

nobeefstu, I made a wav file with no sound and use it before the regular music and it works great. I have been using this program since it was first created and enjoy it so much. It only gets better with age. I am retired and this forum really helps me with new ways to do things. Shelton

Thanks Jim for your information. I had hoped that there was a way to change the starting point using the custom synch feature provided in PTE. Oh well, everything can't always be that easy. Again thanks, Shelton

Is there a way to start the music on the 2nd or 3rd slide using the customize synchronization feature? I want to have my title slide and credit slide with no music.

This is no big deal but I can't get the shadow to show on the text when using the object editor. I couldn't get it working with other version and I am now using beta 7. I tried to find a thread for this before posting and could not come up with one.

I do not have Windows XP but my daughter does. I have made PTE for her and they work fine. I went to control panel and to administrator and made sure the autorun was selected. I hope this helps because it is from memory and I am getting old. Thank the Lord.

Michel, A great presentation. I agree that the music and the great pictures make the show but you did a great job doing it all. God bless, Shelton

Jim, I once had the same question and what I came up with is to make templates and use them. That way the buttons and fonts stay the same but your background also stays the same.
