Thanks Dave, this looks like it might have the advantage of being able to link slides to different pieces of music.

Thanks Goddi, it all comes back now!

Can someone remind me how to lock a particular part of the soundtrack to a particular slide?

Hi Lowell, PTE has always been very particular about finding files. It's very easy to think you have saved a file where PTE will find it but then, often after a pause doing while you're doing something else for a few days, it won't appear. There's good advice from Barry as above: 'When making a slide show, create a folder and copy EVERYTHING you use into that folder, then work from there and only there. Your project file and Mp4 should also be in that folder and if you do that, you will have the ability to adjust your show and recreate it any time. Plus you’ll always know where everything is.'

Well ....just made my first mp4 slide show and am very pleased with it. Some 200 photo's and 4 video files and used PTE to strip the video audo as it was rubbish, music tracks added with fade in and fade out, scrolling credits at end and of course various fade in and fade out between slides. All done with the standard version though I'm sure the Pro version makes music fade in and out and text scolling easier as well as maybe able to chose font size rather than having to use zoom animation with standard version.
So at the moment cannot find anything I want that this cannot do but will try again with pro version to see what it offers thats worth having.
Only issue, might be my old desktop pc with no special graphics card, is that the slide show that is 25 mins long took 1hr 15 mins to publish.
So am I correct in thinking a good graphics card would speed things up or offer some advantage? ......and my pictures are 18Mb each and my TV is 55" 4k QLED but I'm thinking publishing can be speeded up by reducing picture from 18Mb to ?.....without losing quality?
Anyhow - thanks for the great advice and I hope you can shed some light onto my questions above...
Thanks again
Kevin
4K (3840 x 2160 or 4096 x 2160) is about 8.5 megapixels, so your 18 Mb pictures are more than twice as big as they need to be. You areb right that a good graphics card is essential but even with this you will find speed improvements if you cut your individual image files to sensible proportions.

Thank you Igor. It all works fine now.

I have purchased an upgrade to PTE Studio 10. However when I enter the licence key in my current project Help/New Licence Key, I still cannot save the project. The message comes 'Beta version has expired'. How does one simply register the new licence key on a current project or move the current project across to a new project using the new licence key.

The Flanders International Festival (European Championship) was held in 2011, please see my post above. I do not believe that it is still operating.
