https://youtu.be/kQi4I86_zQQ I think I have joined YouTube. Anyhow this is what I am trying to achieve. I hope it works. Thanks again, Rosemary

Hi Richard_43. I am being a pain! When I try to open your link I get asked if I want to completely remove PTE from my computer! Lin I do not have any YouTube videos but I shall endevor to join and try to post. Thanks to you both, Rosemary

Hi Lin, Thanks for the reply, I have tried sending a one slide video with the star transition but the image is too large. If you want a better idea I can send you a Producer clip but basically the star collapses inwards at the end of the show. I hope this is of help Rosemary

Hi All, I usually end my shows with a transition (from Producer titled Star In) Basically it is a star shape which collapses in and designates the end of the show. Usually white background with black star but colour doesn't matter. Can anyone tell me how to create this transition or is it too complicated for a beginner? Thanks, Rosemary

jmG-06100 thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately I do not have Lightroom or any of the Adobe products. Hopefully in a future edition of PTE this will be an option. Regards, Rosemary

Thank you everyone. I was trying to get the first slide of the slideshow to be the thumbnail on the .mp4. Something like the Menu in Producer. I think if I set the blank slide at the beginning to 0.3 seconds I should achieve the result I want. I shall give it a try anyhow. Regards, Rosemary

I think that the video presents PTE AV Studio 10 very well. The video is presented simply, professionally whilst demonstrating the ability of the program. Regards, Rosemary

Hi All Can anyone please explain how to get the 1st frame of my video to be the thumbnail image? At present I get a random picture from the video. Thanks, Rosemary

Thank you so much Lin. I now have your video playing on my intro text for Trujillo. So kind of you to make the video tut. for me. I use a laptop for the instructional video and do the slideshow on my PC. as my memory isn't what it used to be! Gratefully, Rosemary

Quick info!! Trujillo is the name of a city in Peru. It sounds as if you are on the right track. I want the effect as the title of the show. I look forward to your tutorial. Rosemary

I would like to use Text See Through Image as an intro slide. I cannot see where I could change the text to eg. "Trujillo" Is this possible?

Lin, your advice works beautifully. I had got as far as adding the rectangle but couldn't work out how to change the colour! I used the brick colour with an opacity of 50% and changed the text colour to black. Another page for my "How to do book" Rosemary

Thanks Lin. I like your idea of choosing the brick colour for the rectangle. I am going to give it a try. Rosemary

I would like to add a blank,black slide at approx. 25% opacity behind this text. Is it possible or would I be better to choose another background. The background shows how the Moche culture built their pyramids to withstand earthquakes hence this particular JPG. Thanks for your help, Rosemary

This is a dream come true! Easy to access the slidestyle and transitions all in the same place complete with demo. A beginner's dream. Thank you so much. Rosemary

Very nice Lin. I would be grateful if you could point me to the tutorials or slidestyles. Thanks, Rosemary

I agree! Being in Canada we have a foot each side of the border as far as spelling goes. Either is acceptable so long as we are consistent. Rosemary

Ronniebootwest, Please remember that I am a beginner. I just downloaded the program from CNet. After reading the options, the download is at the bottom of the page. It downloads into your computer as a separate program - no need to set a pathway from PTE. It works on any text/program you are using. I love it, Thanks again Lin. Rosemary http://www.tinyspell.com/

Hi Lin, I worked it out! Simple and it works. I hope I will not hear too many Bongs. Thanks for the link, Rosemary

Sounds exactly what I need. Do I just download it and place the .EXE in the PTE folder or do I have to point PTE to the .exe like an external editor? Producer didn't have a spell check option. Thanks Lin. Rosemary

Thanks Lin. You gave me quite a giggle! Do I just download it but how do I tell PTE to check my spelling? That is usually husband's job or my retired headmaster in UK. Rosemary

Thank you everyone. I am going to try all of your suggestions. My Graphic program(Corel PaintShop Pro) is capable of making layers. Just have to figure out which works best - rastor or vector layers. If I can get satisfactory results within PTE it would be so much easier to edit - especially my creative spelling! Here's hoping for a text editor in the next version of PTE. Rosemary

Dave, I shall try to send a screen shot of what is happening. If only I could get the text smaller and uniform across the show it would look so much better. I have tried Save/Reset >Save font and use by default. Sorry to be such a pain, Rosemary

Thanks Dave. I shall give this a go. Just seems odd that one cannot just select a text size. So much to learn and so little time..... Rosemary

I am making a slide show of our trip through Panama Canal and will use a lot of text on a background. Is there any way in PTE Av Studio 10 to set a text size at the beginning of the show and maintain it throughout? Thank you, Rosemary Appleby
