The "placeholder" idea I developed while learning to use your templates really came in handy here. While I studied Alex55's template, I replaced the "Replace Me" slides with my numbered placeholders. It really helped me not only to learn the template, but I find it easier to place and use photos where I want them.

Thanks to Alex55 for the Viewfinder Template. I used it to put together a few pix from a show photo shoot. A higher resolution version is on my photo site. Majestic Tango, Barclay Theater, University of California Irvine Majestic Tango Behind the Camera-template anestudio55-720_2.mp4

Great advice.

Very nice work!

Took the words right out of my mouth (if I had any there:-)). Thanks for the meaningful explanation. John

Sorry for the long delay. I agree very much with your colour distraction observation. This street car example, for me, really emphasizes your comment. I shot these in 2015 in Krakow. Color: meh. B&W: hits the mood of the scene (for me).

While I'm not a fan of infrared photography, I like what you did!

Very, very nice work!!

A nice, fun show. Thank you.

I concur with Bad Dancer.

Wouldn't it be possible to use I(n), O(ut), markers and use C(ut) where to trim? If you need a little more/less drag the cut selection to your needs.

Very nicely done, BD! I like it. I'll download it. You do good work! Thank you.

Interesting idea. Would you help me with "OA?" What is OA?

Nice work, Aleina! So much has changed since Photodex went out of business. I originally started with PTE around 2002 I migrated to PS shortly thereafter and stayed with them until the end. For what I needed, the workflow was easy and the results worked well for me. The best thing that happened with the PS end was their recommended alternative. Not satisfactory to me at all and I found my way back to PTE AV Pro. I haven't looked back. I discovered your PS and PTE work. In fact, I've bugged you for a couple of conversions (thank you!). Your work is top notch and I've used several of your templates for grandchildren, new births (family and friends), and other occasions. Your templates make easy, fun gifts! I better stop or someone is going to think I get a commission. 😇 Keep up the good work. I highly recommend your templates.

Very nice. I like it.

Aleina, your approach and touch to your presentations is amazing. All the best!! John

Very nice, VBL. Great examples of what can be done with PTE and to not have to pull out Premiere Pro!

Cliff, On most of my shows, I export photos as jpg (or whatever your personal preference is) to a "To Be Renamed" folder in my show's images folder. I then open this folder in Adobe Bridge (Free) where I manually sort my photos in the order I want and then then Rename them into the "Show Photos" folder. I select the option to retain the Original File Name in the metadata in case I need it later. While this sounds redundant or cumbersome, it makes it easy for me to quickly track a show photo. I developed this approach as I worked with many of Aleina's shows (look for Advanced Members). Folder structure (for me) Show Name Assets Music Images To Be Renamed Show Photos Template Photos (I've used this to save the template photos) Vids (I separate video files from photo files.) Output (I put my published files here and then copy them where desired.) John

Nice work. Thanks for sharing.

Very nicely done. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I've got a lot to learn!

If this exists, point me in the direction, please. It would be nice/convenient if there was a way to program one's choices for frequently used options, e.g. "Styles and Themes" when Right Clicking on a slide. (Like Ctrl+B for Objects and Animations) (Thank you to DaveGee and LocoGada for an easy resource.) Thank you, Igor.

I've purchased and played around with Aleina's template. It is very beginner friendly. Thank you, Aleina.

A break well done, Aleina!

While the image/video is listed in blue, we can ascertain that the image is, in fact, in the show. It would be nice to see by a small number if the image/video is used more than once. Another useful feature would be "Go to selected image..." in the Right Click menu when point to and right clicking a particular image. John

Last night was a lot of fun. Show and Tell of my grandkids with the Wizard (I cheated here with a version of "Over The Rainbow" after the cottage crashes). Finally, I showed a PTE show of our latest trip. After all three, I finally untied our friends from the sofa and everyone went home with a big smile on their face! I like the rendition above! A final note (for today): Aleina responds quickly with help should you get stuck on using any of the templates. John
