Andrew, Thanks for your reply. At this point I find PTE more flexible and faster to build the slideshow than the video editor but perhaps as you suggest that is due to my lack of familiarity with MSPRO7. What settings did you find best to create the custom avi file in P2E for input to MSPRO7? I find the range of choices confusing. I am intending to output from MSPRO7 to SVCD to replay on computer rather than TV. Also what image size have you found to be best to start with in P2E for import into video editor. I am assuming 4:3 ratio but is it best to match the initial image size to the final output? TIA Malcolm

Hi Andrew, Your post raised some interesting points. I am a new user of PTE and an even newer user of video editing software (Ulead MS Pro 7). Have you found any limitations to using PTE to produce the slideshow as an avi file then video editing software to add the special effects you mention? This is the route I am planning to investigate so I would be interested to know if you have found limitations to this approach other than the one you mention - the resulting file is not an exe.

Fred and Al, Not a big problem - I am just keeping a note of the RGB values instead - but I thought I was missing something. Good forum and some spectacular slideshow samples. Looks like a steep learning curve, though Thanks for the info. Malcolm

Just started out with this program. Tutorials are excellent - thanks to all. I do not seem to be able to retain custom color settings - between slides for example. I can add the color to the custom color palette but when the colors dialog is next opened palette is empty. Am I missing something? Malcolm
