May be I'm wrong, but you don't need to use square images. With the slide style cube, images are automatically cropped to get the aspect ratio 1:1 needed for a cube. If you don't agree with the cropped area, you can use offsetX or offsetY to change it. Best regards Denis

Igor, I agree that the value itself 0.2 or 0.3 s is good enough and the example is just to évaluate the time needed. The real slideshow was with larger image (zoom effect) each second. The surprise was that the time under windows 8.1 is larger than the time needed under windows 7. I don't know why, but i suppose you know. Denis

Hello, on a specific slideshow, with a kind of time-lapse and zoom, there was a lack of fluidity (jump). I made a small example (100 jpeg pictures) to estimate roughly the minimum slide duration needed. With my PC (2009): Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @ 2.50GHz 1024MB GeForce GT 220 (MSI) Windows 7 64 bits The minimum slide duration is 0.19 s for jpeg pictures 1920x1080 (374 ko) For an up to date PC(2015): INTEL Core i7 4790K Unlocked 4.0Ghz LGA 1150 RAM DDR3 - 32 Go GeForce GTX980 G1.Gaming SOC 4G 2 x SSD PLEXTOR M6Pro Xtrem Series 256GB PlexTurbo Windows 8.1 64 Bits The minimum duration is 0.25 s You can see (in French) examples : http://www.diapositif.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=39300&start=0 It show that the problem is PTE slideshow on Windows 8.1 OS. The slideshow is attached. Select the time duration and look at the progress bar. Regards Denis Speed_test_PTE.zip

Hi, select "members" then find the member you want to see the shows. At the right of the line, select "find content" you can see "find content" when the mouse is on the button. Then, at the left, select what you want (download) Or select a slideshow of the author: at the right, just below the name of the author select " View other files from this member" Denis

Hi Tom, I use the technique you describe in one slideshow for a car. In audacity, i take my audio clip and split left channel and right channel, and make two stereo audio clip, one with original left channel and soundless right channel, the other with soundless left channel and original right channel. Denis

I see the same thing and now I know why. http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?/topic/18267-new-project/ Denis

Hi Lin, I found a picture not present: Denis

Are you using ShadowPlay to record PTE and for screen captures? Perhaps I'm missing something... No my Nvidia Card is noy compatible. I thought that as it use the GPU of the Nvidia, it could be a good free solution. Denis

Hi Lin, have you try shadowplay ? Denis

Dave, I make three styles with three different png with three different names. User can use the three different slide styles to vary the intensity of the snow (on the same project) Denis

Hi, I prefer "A" I propose 3 slide styles of snow (on diapositif) Suppose a user try this 3 slide styles: Three png images of the snow will be copied if solution B is retained. If solution A is implemented, only one png image will be copied in the zip. Denis

Not sure http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?/topic/17261-problem-with-styles/#entry114794

Hi Lin, the problem is known. Look at http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?/topic/17261-problem-with-styles/ Denis

Hi Lin, I agree that 1920x1080 don't work on my PC, but I used 1280x720 animated gif without problems. I think it depends also of the number of frames and maybe of the graphic card used. Denis

Hi Igor, I see this problem only on one project. I open another project with a lot of audio clips without problem But now, I can't reproduce the error. I restart Windows but don't change PTE version. What I can say is that I cleared PTE's WaveCache and The first time I open the project, only the first audio clip waveform was correct. Then I closed pte and open again the project, and the first and second clip were correct; Then I closed pte and open again the project, and the first,second and third clip were correct. Denis

I have similar problems(not the same problem) : but you can preview the slideshow or create with success the exe . Just close PTE and open again the slideshow, it is correct. And close PTE and open again, it is not correct Pte Deluxe 8.0.13 Denis

What is not clear for me is PTE and variable bitrate audio clip: Why is it written that CBR is better than VBR for mp3 ? When I use VBR mp3, or VBR ogg Vorbis, it seems to work correctly. For example, I use directly an mp3 VBR audio clip from Jamendo.com, It works fine, and I don't want to transform it in CBR just to follow recommendations, if PTE has no problem with it. Is the problem only with some mp3 codec ? For other mp3 codecs, and Ogg Vorbis,... it works I think it would be interesting to know what to do: Normally, use VBR and transform in CBR only when there are problems ? Denis

Hello, when we use mp3 audio clip, we must use CBR (Constant BitRate) mp3 and not VBR (Variable BitRate) mp3. If we use OGG Vorbis audio clip, Audacity don't give us the choice CBR. So OGG Vorbis files, made by Audacity, are only VBR. Is it correct to use VBR ogg vorbis audio clip or not ? Denis

Hi Lin, just for information, I used : ffmpeg-20150223-git-6c9537b-win32-static.7z ffmpeg-20150223-git-6c9537b-win64-static.7z On windows 7 and windows 8 and FFmpeg version: 2014-04-20 git-f57ac37 On windows 7. But I never try ffmpeg on XP. Denis

Ok for the first. For the second, you can do that in one time with th keyboard: type the pixels you want (512x288 works well) 480x270 is changed in 480x272 Denis

Hello, "Charlie" show us Route generator on Diapositif : http://www.diapositif.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=37747 And if you use ffmpeg as the BMP to avi convertor : http://www.diapositif.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=296624#p296624 , it's a video perfect for PTE Denis

Hi Dave, I don't understand. May be you can send me a project with a frame 400x400, and zoom 100% in a 1920x1080project and this frame is really 400x400 on the screen. On my PC, all the frames 400x400, 600x600, 1080x1080, etc with zoom 100% occupy the surface 1080x1080 (with the mode "fit to slide") The only advantage of fixing 600x600 instead of 1080x1080 is that if you click on size/position in pixels of parent >> size, you get the original size 600x600 with, of course the zoom of 55,556%. Denis

Sorry but we have not the same TV and on mine, the menu is not the same and screen display for the usb(video) entry has only -2 and -1 and Normal not +1 I think i can understand the manual of the TV and the differents menus.

Hello, for the howto: Square Frame in a Rectangular Project( http://docs.picturestoexe.com/en/techniques/square ), another way could be: after adding the frame, go to "Properties" and change the "Native size" to 1080x1080 Denis

Hi Dave, I know the manual (in French), but you forgot the last line: "These options may change depending on the input displayed." I'm not enough fluent in English to describe a methodology for this problem. Just a resume: Make your normal show Export it in HD (mp4) with the highest quality Open a new project Put the video without optimization Select the quick transition In O&A zoom the video (for me its 95%) Make your HD video or your DVD It is easy but long for the PC.
