No, it doesn't bother me at all. On the contrary, it's a very good idea to have transformed the animation into a video file that is easier to use with a mask.. Thank you very much.

I understand that you want to change the moment when the confetti is thrown. To do this, as described by Barry in his videos (thanks Barry for your work ;-), you need to play with the positioning of the keyframes of each object representing a confetti. Concretely to modify the confetti triggering: - Apply the style to an image - Go to the animation modification window (objects and Animation) - In the window showing all the objects in the animation, expand the contents of the "Confetti 2" frame object - Select all the objects contained in the "Confetti 2" frame (including the frame object) - Select all the keyframes at the beginning of the animation (these keyframes correspond to the triggering of the confetti throw). To select all the keyframes concerned, first click to the right of the last object's position, then, while holding the Shift key, click to the left of the first keyframe of the first object. All selected key frames change colour (light blue). - Change the position of all the keyframes by clicking on one of them and moving to the right or left. The keyframes placed at the end of the animation will probably also have to be moved in order to maintain a consistent fall rate. The method to use is the same as described above. Do the same for the "Confetti 1" frame. Good luck with this. Pascal.

Thank you Patrick H. and Brakha Robert, Indeed, the effect produced on some images, especially landscapes, is interesting. No real complexity in the construction of the style, it is an imbrication of several portions of the image placed at the beginning of the animation with a slope and then ending with a zero slope (the image is then flat). Pascal

Tonton Bruno, smithrg and tom, thank you for your feedback. Pascal.

Hello everyone, For the holidays, here are three transitions designed for PTE AV Studio. The animation of the transition consists in making the second image appear behind a snow curtain. I recommend a transition time of 3 to 4 seconds to get a smooth effect. The snow particle effects were made with the Particle Illusion software from Boris FX. This powerful software is free for the standalone version (https://borisfx.com/products/particle-illusion/). With a little bit of advance, I wish you all the PTE AV Studio community a happy holiday season. (DS) Snow curtain.pteeff

Hello Sheila, The easiest way to do this is to use the Excel generator which allows you to select the start and end colour of a particle. Simply modify the min and max values of the Red, Green and Blue components in the "Start color" and "Final color" sections. The Excel macro will calculate the colour for all particles. Good luck, Pascal.

Yes indeed Georges, this style is directly inspired by the "Panoramic in perspective" style that I have made available on the DiaporaShop website. These two styles are built in a similar way. Pascal.

Thanks for sharing, a nice style for summer holiday photos.

Jean-Cyprien, Gogs, thank you for your feedback. Pascal.

Very impressive, a remarkable work of 3D animation. Congratulations ! Pascal.

Yes indeed, with some images (especially landscapes with a pronounced perspective) the distortion produces a cinematic drone movement effect. Pascal.

Bert, Berny and Rosemary, thank you for your feedback. Pascal.

Hello all, Here are twelve styles for PTE AV Studio that produce a zoom out effect with distortion applied to one part of the image (top and/or bottom, left and/or right). The distortion gives the impression of movement in the image. Only works with an aspect ratio of 16:9. The effect works well with images that have a perspective effect. Here is a demonstration video and a video showing two distortion effects on a grid. Pascal. (DS) Zoom out distortion.ptestyle Zoom out grid.mp4

Hello Rosemary, I am not surprised that you spent time doing this style because against all appearances it is not simple. Especially to get a "radar" effect for the appearance of the image in the white circle. Barry's videos are a great help to progress in learning PTE AV Studio. Good continuation for the rest of the study. Pascal.

Thank you Berny, Pascal.

Hi Rosemary Not as simple as it seems Here is my version, the style is compatible with PTE version 9. I hope it will suit you. Best regards, Pascal. Title - pool.ptestyle

Hello Rosemary, Thank you for your comment. Indeed, this style was designed with the idea of being used for an intro. Pascal.

Hi all, Here is a style that produces the stitching of an image with a title using stop motion animation effect. The demonstration video uses the same style with 4 different images. Style is compatible with PTE version 9. https://youtu.be/EW2nOJTw8gI Best regards, Pascal. Stop motion animation.ptestyle

Thanks thedom, Very, very good tip. Pascal.

Thank you for these transition effects, Just one remark : The rendering of the Zoom in transition can be substantially improved by placing the images of slide 2 placed in the corners symmetrically according to the adjacent images. Original image placement : With symmetrical placement : For images placed in the corners, check the "Show front side" box on the Properties tab and set a 180-degree rotation on the Y-axis in the Animation tab. Best regards, Pascal.

Thanks Tom, very good demonstration of the modifiers. It is indeed a very powerful feature. The modifiers can also be combined to produce pseudo-random trajectories. With this style, I used this ability to simulate the trajectory of confetti It is also possible to create a modifier with its own mathematical functions, but be very careful because this functionality is not documented and therefore not supported. An example here : Best regards, Pascal.

Thanks Tom, The Basket weave transition effect is really interesting. That's a good one. Best regards, Pascal.

Thanks Tom, I really appreciate it. The particles are very elegant. Best regards, Pascal.

Great, you're almost there

Hi Tom, I'm not a specialist of google sheets, but after a first try the calculation macro is not converted. So it seems that the use of google Sheets is not feasible without a translation of the VBA macro to google Sheets script. Pascal.
