on different layers as well.

One of things that I really miss from Proshow Producer is the ability to copy specific keyframe settings and applying them to other keyframes. I find myself having to screenshot settings in one keyframe and applying trying to copy them to other keyframes. While I can clone a keyframe on the same layer, this doesn't work between layers. I've attached a screenshot for how I could accomplish this in Producer...not asking for an exact match but something along these lines:

It would be very convenient to allow us to add modifiers to multiple keyframes at the same time the same way you allow us to update settings.

I'd love the ability to drag/drop layers in Objects and Animation screen using the mouse vice having to use the keyboard to move things.

I'm not sure that I'd consider this a problem, but definitely an inconsistency that would be nice to have fixed. The arrow keys in the Drop shadow and glow dialog box do not function the same as in other parts of the program. When I tried to use them to change the values in the boxes, the values don't change but the focus changes to different boxes. Would be nice to be consistent with the other parts of the program. Thanks, Brad

Igor, OK, will do thanks for the response. Brad

I saw that Barry had reported a problem with the Styles and Themes button not working and it said that it was fixed. I had the same problem over the weekend and think that I tracked down the issue, so wanted to document it. 1. My documents directory is on OneDrive and over the weekend, I wasn't connected to the Internet. 2. I got on the Internet on my cellphone and found the referenced issue. It had said to zip up the Styles and Transitions directory in my documents directory. 3. When I attempted to do this, WinZip told me that the cloud provider wasn't available and wouldn't zip up the files. 4. After further investigation, I determined that not all of the files had been downloaded to the Styles and Transitions directory, it only had the names of the files. 5. I fixed the issue by renaming the Styles and Transitions directory and launching PTE again (it worked no issues). 6. When I got home, I tried the original directory of files. When connected to the Internet, it works, when disconnected, the button does not seem to be working. Thanks, Brad

+1 Vote for blend modes. Overlaying video effects on top of layers and blending would be awesome and provide a great ability to add some amazing effects.

Barry, Great video, I really enjoyed it. Loved the photography, something I might have to look into when I retire! Brad

Thanks for the quick response Barry! That's absolutely one way to do it (and that's how I've been doing it), but requires more clicks. I'm all about less work on my fingers. In my mind it would be more efficient to grab a couple of slides from file list on the main screen and then ctrl drag them to the slide list which would combine them into one slide immediately. From that point you could open the Objects and Animation Screen and get to work (vice having to perform more actions). While the current method absolutely works, just thinking of a way to be more efficient.

Would it be possible to add a cancel button to the Objects and Animation screen? I know that there is an option to "Undo All Changes" in the tools menu, but it would be a bit more convenient to just click one button vice pulling up a menu and then clicking close. Thanks, Brad

Recommend adding a method to use multiple images to create a baseline slide. For example, click multiple images in the file list and ctrl drag them to the slide list which will combine the images in one slide (providing multiple layers) and/or on slide list select multiple slides, right click and combine from there into one slide.

Thanks Gary!

Would be very convenient to be able to update a slide style without having to create it again. I have to remember the exact title and description when creating it again (I can copy one but have to remember the other). Also, allowing updates would allow us to edit the info in the style in the event of a typo or such. Thanks, Brad

Thanks John, yeah the focus change was new for me in the beginning. Actually happened by accident when I was playing around and thought....hmm that looks interesting. Brad

Thanks Gary, appreciate the comment. Brad

Barry, Very nice show, I really enjoyed it. Beautiful images! Brad

This is my first PTE slideshow. Was a bit worried about moving from Proshow, but I'm really liking PTE! Thanks, Brad

Ah, thanks again Dave! Brad

When I apply a style to multiple slides that are not together in a timeline, it shifts the slides to be next to each other. Is there any way to stop this from happening? Thanks, Brad

When I create a style and apply it to a slide, it changes the name of the slide. Is there anyway to override this to keep the slide name? thanks! Brad

Thank you Dave! I wasn't even thinking of looking on that tab, I was too focused on the animation tab. I guess I forgot that part of Barry's tutorials (I have watched them all, don't like asking questions if there is someplace to look)... Brad

Gary, Thanks, yep watched it at least 3 times now. I'm guessing the way that I did it is the only solution... Thanks, Brad

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I'm stumped. I'd like an image to appear in the middle of a slide's timeline. I tried moving the first keyframe of that image to the middle of the timeline, but the slide is still visible before that time. The only way that I've been able to figure out how to do it is to add a keyframe a couple of milliseconds before I want it to appear with 0% opacity and then a keyframe with 100% opacity when I want it to appear, makes it look like it just appeared. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Brad
