Hello everyone. A retro-style design project for you. Download link and description on YouTube.

Wanderlust, It wasn't difficult to do. By the way, the width of the vignette is also adjustable. I wish you success in your creative work.

Hi Peter. I made a style similar to yours, but not exactly like the original. This is the simplest version with straight corners of the vignette. There is a style file and a project file in the project folder. I have included the project file in case you want to modify the design according to your preferences. The style name is random, but its animation resembles a similar preset with alternating images in After Effects. Photos in the style are cropped with a 16x9 aspect ratio. Keep this in mind when using photos with other sizes, or disable the "Crop" feature in the project and save the style with a different name.

This style can be recreated in PTE, but… First, for a full recreation, this program doesn't have a vignette with rounded corners — only straight lines — and such corners can be achieved by using a mask with rounded corners, meaning there will be a frame with a mask and an image with a mask. Second, the photo fade-in and fade-out effect is created by layer opacity — so on a straight vignette this will be easy, while on a rounded one you'll need to apply opacity to all the other layers. But! It can be recreated. Straight frames can be done in half an hour to an hour, and with masks — in a couple of hours. The key is to calculate the slide timing correctly: here the photo appearance lasts about 0.4 seconds, and the style duration is about 42 seconds. What remains is to position the keyframes correctly.

Everything can be done only by means of the program. The masking layer allows you to add text characters of different shapes in large numbers and you just need to create the desired shape of the mask. It is simply undesirable to use photos with a lot of protruding hair, or leaves of grass, trees, and a similar multitude of small details, which require a lot of masks, time, and painstaking labor to isolate.

digartal, Thanks for the comment. I'm for diversity. People write that there are too few text effects in the program, I'm trying to say that this is not the case. 🙂 Two text animation projects were planned. Now there is a project in the plan with a movie projector for memorable moments of the past. I think I can do it in a week, if nothing bothers. I'm watching your videos, it's a good job. If you have any questions about the projects, please contact me, I will help you with everything that is in my competence.

Hi everyone, Another project with text animation. Easy to do, easy to repeat. Replace the background, replace the color of the text and text backgrounds. The project can be used to advertise embroidered products. Download link and description under the video on YouTube. https://youtu.be/NNu0DOyrTaE

JRR thanks a lot

This is a simple example of working with text. The program's features allow you to make similar animations. It was possible to complicate the appearance of text layers with masks, but it would be difficult for an inexperienced user to understand. Of the three options I tested, the last one turned out to be the easiest, where a pair of frames rotated 90 degrees relative to each other along the Y axis and placed in the third frame, allowing you to move the entire composition vertically. I will consider any comments as an aid in studying the program.

Don't worry, be happy. 😉 Description and download link for the YouTube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCZmOUHG-eU

Hi Gunterus. https://disk.yandex.ru/d/SgZRb9JZ8Yevxw

AleAle5025. Hi! Thanks for the comment! Yes, the video was made in After Effects. This is the finished video that I inserted into the PTE project. In PTE, it is difficult and time-consuming to do this, save the video as a sequence of frames and move the added file manually in each frame.

Hi Mike, There is no "Free transformation" function in PTE, and the layer changes the side lengths proportionally when zooming. You can cut a hole in a third-party image in a photo of a building, say in Photoshop, and add your photo or video with an underlying layer. You can also create a white mask of the desired size and shape in Photoshop and place it as the top layer above the photo of the building, in this case you can add a shadow. An example of applying a mask from a video:

Everything is fine, but the focus should not be visible with the aperture closed, focus first and then the shutter.

I really want layer overlay effects in this program, at least Screen and the usual Bounce fade effect in modifiers. In motion modifiers, it's a good idea to add "Random Movement", as in ProShow, because when the same leaves are wobbling, there is no measured movement, there is randomness.

Thanks for the beautiful views. The timelaps are impressive. Do panoramic photos also look original, as far as I understand they have fisheye applied to them? The mix is also peculiar, a landscape with a wild coast turning into the facade of a skyscraper... Good luck in your creative work! I'm waiting for new jobs.

digartal, Thanks for the comment. I just like to draw. But sometimes I pick up a camera and a video camera, depending on the situation or mood. This is especially facilitated by the visit of the grandchildren.🙂

Hello to all forum members. I bring to your attention a festive Christmas video. Description and download link for the YouTube video. Congratulations on the wonderful upcoming holidays. I wish you creative success and good health.

What A Ride, It's very simple.

I'm not sure if there are psychics who read minds on this forum and that one hundred percent of the forum members use this style (I've never heard of it), so I'd like to see a screenshot of the problem, and even better, a video with the problem. It is quite possible that the problem can be solved by conventional keyframe positioning.

Interesting design of intersecting lines. Downloaded it. I want to take a look from the inside.🙂

This program has a primitive audio editor. You can create a copy of the audio file, you can cut the file, or cut out a fragment at the fading points (minimum volume) of the sound and paste it into the main track also at the fading point with small steps to the main track, the program will automatically add a crossfade to the junctions. This is a difficult and painstaking job. That's why I always edit audio in the professional Adobe Audition program. It has a wonderful Remix feature, which allows you to lengthen and shorten the music to the desired length with an accuracy of up to a few seconds, which can be compensated by the length of the opening or ending credits.

Alex55, nice job, thanks!

Very many thanks, canaro99.

digartal, AleAle5025, Thanks a lot.
