Thank you all for your suggestions. Dave Gee's suggestion was the perfect solution. The sailor was prom an old painting and to the wood image as a PNG. The Harmonize feature is pretty good. Adds shadows too.

I have a background slide and I am happy with the colour etc. In O&A I have two further PNG images which appear on the background slide at different times but unfortunately the colours do not really match the background and stick out like a sore thumb! Is there a filter within PTE Studio that I can apply to the whole slide and PNG's which could help? Any advice on how to match colours on slide background image and PNG's outside of PTE Studio would be greatly appreciated (I have Photoshop CC). Thanks in advance.

Hi Rosy Before answering I should have made the assumption that you would have looked at the easier options! Good luck with your project Brian

Unfortunately my keyboard does not have a seperate numeric keypad but denisb suggestion works fine. Perhaps Igor could add one to the Vector symbols in PTE? Thanks to you both for your help.

Hi Rosy Would it not be possible to connect the camera via USB or USB/HDMI adaptor to a standard laptop/Ipad etc? Brian

I'm trying to add a copyright symbol (letter C in a circle) using the add text function in 'Properties' to a slide. I have tried the keyboard sequence ALT+0169 which doesn't work and tried other variations too. There isn't a copyright symbol in the Text Vector symbols within PTE. I am using a PC with Logitech MX Keys keyboard which is small and some keyboard features are doubled up. Can anyone help please?

Totally forgotten how to play a PTEAV file and can't see your problem but I did experiment with one of my slides which had a zoom in it and added 'Smooth move' to it. I think that I got a similar effect to what you have described. The zoom was fine when I removed 'Smooth move'. However, my slide did have a small Pan percentage and when I took the pan back to zero there was no jump in the zoom with or without the modifier. Do you have a Pan in your slide?

Thank you for your help and that worked. Simple when you know how!

As a long term PC user my Mac skills are appalling! My wife uses a Mac and has asked me how to use PTE on her MacBook. I've installed PTE 11.0.2 on to her MacBook but can't find a simple way to import images from the Photos app into PTE. I can drag and drop an image from Photos onto the Finder/Desktop page and from there into PTE but can anyone suggest a simpler way please?

I was having the same problem. I totally forgot that I had reinstalled Photoshop 2023 and thanks to Jill's tip on resetting Preferences, it now works. CTL+W works too. I am on Win 10.

Thanks for your suggestion, I'll try some experiments.

Not sure whether continuous zoom is the correct term but I recall reading on the forum about a style/transition where you start a zoom into one image and the zoom continues at the same pace into the next image, hope that makes sense!. I can't find the post anymore. I thought it was one of The Dom's transitions/styles but can't see it on his website. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Hi Rosy & Jill Many thanks for your help. It will be interesting to see how many AV's make the cut at the BIAFF. If anything, it will open a few eyes as to the capabilities of PTE. Regards Brian

Until now, I have always the EXE route to publish my sequences. However, I have entered the BIAFF competition and EXE are not acceptable and will therefore will have to convert the sequence to a Video format but I'm not sure what format I should use. There's no guidance in the competition rules but I suspect it will have to be a video format. In the 'Publish' menu (PTE AV Studio v10.5.6), what should I use, Create AVI file or Create a HD & 4K video? I need some help with the various settings as well, I produced the AV in 4:3 and most of the images are 1400x1050 and not sure what settings i should use. Your help will be gratefully appreciated! Thanks, Brian

Many thanks Dave, works a treat! Brian
