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. Denis

I have not thie possibility (only Nomal, -1, -2 for this USB(Video) entry For other entry, I have the possibility all the pixels which should be better Yout TV is better than mine for playing slideshow. But my TV was not the purpose of the post. Other peoples have the same problem (see http://www.diapositif.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=38995 for example) when they want to make a DVD It was just a suggestion for Igor for PTE and you for the howto: DVD project, not more. Denis

Dave, I have a SONY KDL40-W5500 I can change the settings to play 100% for the "Normal TV", for the hdmi entry but not for the usb entry when I want to see video. In fact, this TV read .m2ts file and I must change the mp4 to m2ts (let the video codec to h.264 change audio codec aac to ac3 and the container like AVCHD or Blu-Ray) To see all my slideshow, I pad the video from PTE with black strips with FFMPEG, so I don't need another woraround Denis

Hello, I can see only 95% of a slideshow on my TV (mp4 on USB video entry). So, I try to use the howto: DVD project http://docs.picturestoexe.com/en/techniques/dvdproject. The first problem is that the bold font used for pictures already placed in the slideshow is only for main picture not for "child". I think all the pictures used should be showned with the name in bold font. Tthe possibility to show only the pictures used, or only the pictures not already used or all the pictures would be very useful, and it would be perfect if it was done also for audio tracks and videos. The second problem is that you must put your pictures normaly if you want to use slide style and then put your blankblack picture, cut and paste. The third problem, which is more important, is that you cannot use standard transitions like Push, Slide, Curling of page, swap 3D. May be, it could be mentioned on the help So this workaround seems to me not really usable. PictureToExe allow us to specify a fixed size of slide, and you can have black strips around your slide with the executable form of the slideshow. Depending of the different aspect ratio, you can have black strips on a video. It would be useful if we can specify the % of the video occupied by the slide (the video is 1920x1080, the % is 95, then the slide is 1824x1026) Denis

With my PC ( and my graphics card), it is jerky. May be you can split the png into 2 or 3. It will decrease the needs of graphics card memory. Denis

Yes, I understand. It works if i define a new name for the project. If we use Blank project and customize it without changing its name, it work when we open PTE and begin a new project If we select File>new, it doesn't work. Denis

Hi, Suppose that the "Blank project - Template for new projects" is with an aspect ratio 16:9 If you select File>new, you get: If you validate (OK) , the new project is 16:9, not 4:3 !!! Denis

Hi Barry, with my wacom intuos tablet (CTH 480), scroll is achieved with 2 fingers on the tablet. I think I inverted only the express keys CTRL and ALT and don't change anything else. Denis

For Audio Track Height, I think CTRL+SHIFT+ Mouse wheel is what you are looking for.

Hello Igor, thank you. Denis

With an old microphone and Audacity, while listening the music , I record the beat by tapping with a fingernail on the microphone . I put this track "beat" in addition to the normal music in PTE and mute it. In the timeline mode, you get : This help me to synchronise music and slides. Denis

Hello Daniel, For Windows and PTE aaa.JPG and aaa.jpg are the same file: In windows OS, the extensions are not case sensitive. But PTE suppose that files are different only for the template or ZIP backup creation. Of coarse, in my real project i modify the extension with keyboard. Denis

Hi, in a slideshow, the same picture is present in two slides but with the filename aaa.JPG and aaa.jpg. It work well, you can create the slideshow (this is normal for windows and PTE: it is not case sensitive). But when you want to create a template or create a backup in zip: See example below. Denis PbZip.zip

Hi, if you use the slide style cube (slide style, experimental, cube), add a frame as parent and you can move the center of this frame to change the center of rotation of the cube Denis

Hi MUR, I read your post and download your macro some days ago. I do not understand why the counters are 0 !!! I think you can replace 1000 by Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row for example and your macro is compatible with longer pte clipboard file Denis

I think the workaround could be : Move the .pte file in the new directory where your pictures are. Modify the pte and save, then move it back to his directory. Denis

For a new show only: Settings>Preferences>Templates>Customize (Templates of projects) for Blank project - templates for new project and add the custom transitions you need for all the new shows Regards Denis

May be you use VLC or another video player who put he file name at the begining ? Try Windows media player. Denis

Hi Patrick, It's a beautiful slideshow Excellent photography, mainly in the interior of Creta. I spent a week there some years ago, and i think your slideshow is in accordance of what i see. Thanks for sharing Denis

Hello, I try your link with the certified version. It's ok. It works. Thank tou The conclusion is that Avast show a false positive for the exe version and is ok for the certified version. May be Igor can contact Avast for this false positive ? Denis

Avast write "there is a virus"(Win32:Evo-gen) for this slideshow. Of course, it is probably a false positive. I can download other shows (zip or exe) but not all the slideshows, and one month ago, i have no problems. Is it important for Wnsoft to know or not ? If I made a mistake when i write the post, an administrator can delete it. Denis
