Hi Jose, if you consider bitrate, 2-pass is better than 1-pass, but with x264 codec, the CRF (Constant Rate Factor) transformed to Quality in PTE is a better choice. See https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.264 Note that quality 100 in PTE 9 is equal to CRF=18 and quality=0 is equal to CRF=34. Denis PS: I concatenate 30 mp4 made with PTE to one MKV file without problem. The resulting file was 15 GB

Hi, I can generate mp4 larger than the 32 bits limit with PTE (more than 6GB). But I use the Quality and not The Bitrate with 2 pass. People who make the codec wrote: " Use this mode if you want to keep the best quality and don't care about the file size. " The Bitrate with 2 passes is when the file size is more important than the quality. To obtain the best MP4 file, I use the original mov video from my canon DSLR. First I transform the video.mov (h264 codec) to video.avi (h263) and make my slideshow. When every thing is ok, I copy the slideshow.pte and on the copy, with a text editor, change the video.avi to video.mov. Then with the copy I generate the mp4 with 60 fps quality 100%. If the quality is not enough for you try quality =120% (type with the keyboard.) But I am sure that quality 100 with original video is better than optimizing the video and use 2-pass bitrate 20000 (fro the mp4 of course) Denis

Hi David, I can propose a workaround. At the end of the file project.pte, there is the list of Times of synchro for all the slides [Times] opt_synchpos1=3000 opt_synchpos2=8000 opt_synchpos3=11000 opt_synchpos4=16000 opt_synchpos5=19000 opt_synchpos6=24000 ........ opt_slidescount=590 Just replace all the values to get what you want. (of course, use a copy of your project file) A zip for an example of slide duration of 3 and 5 s. The number of slide is 590 Denis Projet1.zip

Hi Igor, I send you the project, the mp4 and avi yesterday in a private message Denis

http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/ video samples which could be interesting. I have no problem with decoding video in PTE (Canon 70D) If we can use all the cores of the CPU when decoding, it would be a great improvement. Denis

The high peak we can see (video avi and video mp4) is not present in the video : the real sound is what you see "sound of video avi or mp4

Hi a project with a blank slide, a converted video, only the audio of the converted video on a blank slide, the mp4 video, only the audio of the mp4 video on a blank slide. Then export soundtrack to wav file The beginning of the video sound is not correct when playing , the audio of either the converted or the mp4 are correct Denis

Very good idea Denis

Hi, we can rotate clockwise (Ctrl+F) or counterclockwise (Alt+F) a picture in the file list. For a jpeg and a gif picture, it works well. For a png picture, it is correct in the O&A and the mini-viewer but it is not correct in the preview or the exe: the rotation is not the correct one. Denis

Hi Manuel, of course I know and PTE can transform it in mp3 also but it's not the question. Denis

Igor, in CT1.pte, I put a rectangle in Slide 3 and the CT work . I understand that when I enable "Transparent background" , The CT between 1 and 2 is correct. If I use a transition, I know what to do, but imagine a PTE user which simply use Custom Transition. It is not obvious. The "normal transition" of PTE like "slide" or "Push" cannot used with slide with background objects and the splitter. I think that the "transparent Background of slide" enabled or not could be unticked by the user of the CT as an option. If you want that "Push" , "Slide" ou "Gates" transition could be used with background object and with blank slide like now, It could be a solution. Denis

Hi Dave, your CT doesn't work with blank slide I try advance gate and advance Vee; see the result CT10.pte

I think that, for my custom transitions, there are problems either when the blank slide is the first or when the blank slide is the second depending of how the CT is constructed. I show on my first example adding a rectangle is one solution. J-C, the solution you proposed work on the example, but when I make a CT, I want it work with background objects and splitter for background objects, I must thick "transparent background of slide". I just want to know if I must put a rectangle on a blank slide or if Igor think It is interesting to modify PTE. Denis

Hi, add some blank slides if you have problems with the order of slideshows Denis menu.zip

Hi, using a CT between a blank slide and a normal slide doesn't work: It is replace by a quick transition. Denis CT1.pte

Hi, I think it's your antivirus !!! Bitdefender, for example, delete this file during install. Denis

Nice job Dave. when I make Custom Transitions, I try to make them compatible with different aspect ratio. I put a slide1 or slide2 with opacity=0 as the parent of the mask container. The mask container is put in cover mode. I modify your Advanced Gate. It can be used with different aspect ratio. Denis Advanced Gate_slide1.pteeff

Hi, you can add a video as an audio track: project options >> Audio >> add audio file an select video files But if you don't have a video in your project, the exe has no sound. You must have a video in your project to ear the sound in the exe. May be when we add a sound from a video, the ffmpeg.dll should be include in the exe. Denis

see PM

Hi Igor, Two exe with problems with PTE 9.0.14 are now excellent with this new 9.0.15. The custom transitions are fluid. Congratulations for this new improvement. Denis

Yes Igor, this problem occur when I make the transition into a normal slide. http://diapositif.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=40146 30000% was used by JPD in January 2009 with PTE 5.6: http://www.diapositif.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=32829 Could you force Nvidia graphic card when Intel and Nvidia are present ? ( see my first post) NB: for these transitions, I have another solution for other transition, I have not other possibility than make a important zoom (say 10000%) Denis

Hi Lin, Great Job. Thanks. Denis

Igor, I show you a simplify custom transition. I know with PTE9 I can use rectangles, but I made these kind of Custom transitions 4 years ago with PTE8 The complete transition is a gates and page and you can change the position of the beginning, or the end and the angle of the transition. See http://www.diapositif.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=40791 Sorry, the explanation is in French but with the video, you can understand. Some transitions I made 4 years ago had problem http://www.diapositif.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=38117 http://www.diapositif.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=38236 Transitions 30 107 108 109 had the same problem with these video cards.

Hi Igor, a simple project and a copy of the screen. Denis Test_Jan12-2018_11-13-44.zip
