I don't think Blur with negative value is a good approach. If you look at the last column and the last line of a 1920x1080 picture, you can see difference in brightness . Denis

Yes the USM applies to the mp4 also

Hi Pere, the main difference between the "normal" .pte and the .pte creating with Backup in Zip and decompressing is the order where it look for the files . Opening the "normal" pte file, it look for the files with the path written in the pte file, and if it doesn't find it then it look for file in the directory of the .pte file. Opening the .pte file from decompressing the Zip does exactly the inverse search: first it search in the directory of the .pte file and if it doesn't find the file, it look at the complete path in the .pte file. This is simplified: if it doesn't find file, it can look elsewhere. Denis

I don't know if it is the best but I use OBS Studio. It's free https://obsproject.com/

I try your project: exe and 4K mp4 video show a good animation. I have an I7 7700K and Nvidia graphic card GTX 1070 and maybe your PC or graphic card show some limits.

Hi, With similar problems on 3D planets (https://www.slideshowclub.com/files/file/196-planets/), I unticked "edge antialiasing" for all the image and it works for me. Denis

If the change concern only the drive letter, PTE find all the files without problem. I change recently my PC, change drive letter from C: to E: and PTE open all my slideshows without error. Denis

For me, it's perfect. Denis

I don't know what to do : handbrake with x264 for example : And they forgot 18 or 96 PTE can calculate the frames needed, but is it useful ? I don't know Denis

Hi, with my canon 70D, I have the choice between 25 fps and 3000/1001 fps When I put a 25 fps video in a pte project with still images and make an mp4, i use 30 or 60 fps (30000/1001 or 60000/1001) For a 30fps mp4, some frames of the video are duplicate : 1 2 3 4 5 5 6 7 8 9 10 10 etc and with some video, it's not fluid. For a 60fps mp4, some frames of the video are duplicate : 1 1 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 5 5 5 6 6 7 7 7 8 8 9 9 10 10 10 and the result seems correct. To be sure the result is good I prefer realize my video at 30000/1001 and make my mp4 at the same fps or at 60000/1001. Denis

Hi, I think a warning would be a good answer. Denis

Igor, It's solved. Denis

No Darryll, use the portable version of MPC-HC and put in the same directory your menu.exe and the directory of MPC-HC. In your PTE menu use relative path for MPC-HC.exe. That's what I do Denis

Hi, when I want to explain something here, if I open a slideshow, I change the language from French to English. one windows is not translated. If i close PTE and open again the slideshow everything is correct. Denis

With MPC-HC, you can return after playing an mp4 video. with command line and options /play /fullscreen /close with a link "run application or open file" and C:\.......\mpc-hc.exe /play /fullscreen /close video2.mp4 Denis

Just put a video in your project. Put this video (it could be the same as the video in your custom transition or another small one.) outside the screen or with opacity=0 or under a still image for example; Denis

Thanks Igor, the problem is solved. Denis

Thanks Igor, The problem is solved. Denis

the problem is solved with the new version 9.0.18 BETA. No more sound "click" Thanks Igor

Hi, have a look to the video. We can have a strange behaviour. moreover, I think that this windows could be a little bigger, in order to see the last line. Denis transition.zip

Hi Lin, very good quality. I always use 60 fps because my BR disc player (and my TV) accept this framerate. You wrote that "the size of the video file is doubled" when you use 60 fps instead of 30 fps" It's not true. The increase of file size is usually between 10% and 20%. For some custom transitions, the video is better than the exe. And if you need better video quality with PTE, it's possible, just type 110% or 120% for example with the keyboard. Denis

Hi It's a more general problem With Audacity I create a sinewave 440 Hz La.wav I put two times this sound in a PTE project. At the beginning of the sound, it's not "normal" I export soundtrack in wav, and import it in audacity : The beginning of the first sound The beginning of the second sound PTE transform a wav in wav and the value are very different. Moreover, the values of the same file are different if I put it at the beginning of the soundtrack or not Denis Projet1_May16-2018_17-22-22.zip

Jose, the bitrates are between 6000 and 15000 (it's slideshows) For example the bitrate of one of them during time . It's a slideshow with 2 videos (they need more bitrate than the still pictures. Denis I try with 50 original clips from my CANON 70D (bitrate 90 Mbits/s) and it is the same. PTE needs only 400 MB RAM

hi Jose, I use a text editor, not PTE text editor I use notepad++, but notepad from windows is good also. When I open then the file with PTE, I never had crash of PTE. To make a test, I put 19 mp4 videos 6 GB, in a pte project and modify in O&A the duration of some videos. Looking at the task manager, PTE need less than 400 MB of RAM far from 32 bits limitation. The problem of 32 bits limitation, in my case, is only when I put some huge still pictures in a slide and open O&A. I use ffmpeg because it's a kind of "Swiss knife" for video. It is used by many soft like PTE for example. And I like command line. Denis

Hi Jose, when you optimize the video in PTE, if the video file is "mire_HD.mp4" , the line for reference in the project.pte is: FileName=R:\mire_HD.converted.avi I change, in a copy, just before the generation of theHD video to FileName=R:\mire_HD.mp4 and PTE use my original video. PTE need avi (h263 codec) for the fluidity of real time, but when you make HD mp4, it's not real time and PTE accept mp4 or mov file) For the limit of 4 GB, sorry, I don't understand your first post, I understand it was that the mp4 was larger than 4 GB instead of the crash of PTE when you make the slideshow. I try with ffmpeg to merge mp4 files from PTE and change the container to mkv without re-encoding the video. The 30 videos are made with PTE 9.0.16 quality 100 and same audio bitrate and it works. But the ffmpeg is a command line application. a file named liste.txt contain the list of the video files: file 'vid1.mp4' file 'vid2.mp4' The command line C:\Applis\Video\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe -f concat -i liste.txt -c copy out.mkv merge the files to one out.mkv file without re-encoding.
