Thanks for the suggestions, I am most impressed in the quality and speed of help. This has certainly put PTE at the top of my list as an AV program. I am new to AV and have used Pinnacle - 'cause it came with a video camera, but the output on screen is very poor. Most on my camera club members use ProShow but I liked what I saw of PTE on the web. As there are no club members using PTE it is nice to see that there is help at hand in the forum. Back to the task in hand. It sounds like I should have started on something simpler to learn PTE with but I find that I work better if there is a reason. I will work through the suggestions but the method of creating the MP4's sounds simplest except the photos were taken by hand by two different people so the time intervals are random - two timelines would be nice!!. The video is for fun and will be styled on the Benny Hill videos. Thanks for the help,
