I don't have a specific answer but there are a bunch of tutorials by Barry Beckham that helped me learn more and just playing around and trying things was also useful. The program is not all that intuitive but once you get the hang of things it is very powerful. Have created a number of travelogue-type videos that have a few hundred images and videos and learn more each time I use the program. I am sure someone will have a specific answer for your question soon.

I think PowerPoint has this feature.

This would be a nice feature to add to upcoming versions. The video show program I was using before PTEAV had a "normalize" button to make all of my various music clips the same basic volume which was a pretty slick feature.

Nice--thanks!

He's right. Just after posting my last post I remembered about the styles.ini file and other ini files. Again in my case I have styles.ini in 7 different locations, probably from previous versions/installs. If you can read the ini file it basically ties together all of the weird named folders with data about what each does, author, etc.

I don't think you can just move around the folders with the styles. I think you actually have to go through the importing of each style while using the program, but I may be wrong.

Not using 10 anymore so I guess it would be best to uninstall it. I wonder if that will also delete the miscellaneous other folders.

On my machine the files are frequently in more than one location--for example: I suppose this is because I was first trying/using PTE 10 and eventually upgraded to 11. I would really prefer to have these all in just one folder location and perhaps I can just delete the ones that are extraneous?

Again sorry no answer from me but this is defintely one area that can bear some improvement with this program. The way I interpret the workings of this is that when a "*.ptestyle" file is imported it genererates the various folders with useless names: Then if you look in one of these folders you see something like this: Then if you look at the xml file you see something like this: Where you can discern that this is some circling style and that is about it. It would be wonderful if the Folder Name can actually be the name of the style or at least some hint at what it does.

I don't have an answer but have also found the slide style thing to be somewhat inscrutable in terms of where they are saved (I have found them in more than one folder on my computer) and then the ways the folders are named with a bunch of numbers and letters.

Interesting. So the "sprites" are essentially freeze frames of an image kind of like what was used for a kinetoscope as far as I can tell--yes?

Always enjoy your works but don't know what sprites are.

Beautiful images and presentation accompanied by one of my favorite songs from Alan Parsons, one of my all time favorite groups!

I think you meant to thank macian but I will be happy to take some thanks as well When I started using PTE about 4 years ago I was moving from using MemoriesOnTV which was very simple and intuitive and got pretty decent results. When the developers abandoned that program I discovered PTE. There is not as much intuitiveness to the program but it is extremely powerful and there are a number of more serious folks here who have really mastered all of the goodies. I am only an occasional user but learned a bunch by watching the various tutorials made by Barry Beckham.

Yes I was also going to take a stab at cloning the keyframe and placing the second one as many seconds beyond the first as you needed.
