  1. It sounds to me what Peter is describing is a multiple track video editor (Non Linear Editor) like Premiere, Final Cut Pro, etc. This leads me to wonder when 4K video becomes the new normal how does Wnsoft market PTE? Does PTE morph into a video editor with image support? Most video editors can create video slideshows from images. If most display monitors are 4K or less what makes PTE stand out among the competition? The distribution format (binary instead of video)? The smaller file sizes (for non video slideshows)? Before Igor turns PTE into a video editor (I think) there must be a strategic objective. Tom
  2. Hi Eric, Quadcopters/Hexcopters are really popular for aerial filming. The DJI Phantom series are really popular. Maybe someday when I retire I will buy one. I could not view the video without using a VPN/Proxy and my guess is that is frowned upon by the BBC. We already have DO NOT FLY zones for drones. If the FAA develops strict rules to limit the altitude too low it would not be much fun. I agree it's dangerous to fly them above 150 meters or close to airports. Tom
  3. Hi Lin, Strange. That's not the result I am seeing with my simple stroboscope slideshow. When I drag a mp4 video into the chrome browser I can view the source and can verify it is using the html 5 engine (not flash). If I save the html and double click to open in the chrome browser it also plays back correctly. Can you verify your web page is using html 5 syntax (and not flash)? *IF* my Panasonic FZ1000 ever is delivered I can experiment with real video. http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp Source code from drag and drop saved as html to verify 60 fps. <html> <head><meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"></head><body><video controls="" autoplay="" name="media"><source src="file:///D:/60.mp4" type="video/mp4"></video></body></html> Thanks,Tom
  4. Have you ever wondered how Walt Disney's animators were able to zoom and pan accurately without computer animation? Objects like clouds and the moon less than the foreground objects? http://nofilmschool.com/2014/08/walt-disney-multiplane-camera/ I have always been amazed how much labor and skill was involved in making hand crafted animated movies before computer animation. Tom
  5. Hi Lin, I have tested in the browser by dragging the video into a Chrome window. It plays back at 60 fps and looks almost identical as the media classic home cinema player. This is not using a html page, just drag and drop. I just wish YouTube would be faster implementing the upgrade. Download and play in browser/Media Player http://1drv.ms/XRV1Vj Slightly different topic: Did you know that YouTube allows you to use their music and sound effects in both YouTube videos AND other content you create (PTE slideshows) as long as you do not distribute the audio files. https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/soundeffects "Additional terms and conditions Your use of this music library (including the music files in this library) is subject to the YouTube Terms of Service.

  6. Unfortunately YouTube is not finished with their 60 fps upgrade. I just uploaded a PTE created 60 fps and it's only 30 fps. The red line should match the green line at 60 fps. http://youtubecreator.blogspot.com/2014/06/look-ahead-creator-features-coming-to.html Tom
  7. Hi Eric, I think the privacy option is a nice feature in PTE. If you publish from PTE with a privacy setting it should also be the same in YouTube after upload without having to change in YouTube Video Manager. It is also missing an option UNLISTED so you share only with people that know the URL. The UNLISTED privacy is the one I use the most since many of my videos are shared with friends and relatives and I don't want them searchable in YouTube. Thanks, Tom Maybe some screen captures will help explain the problem.
  8. When I upload a youtube video using PTE publish to youtube option the privacy setting is always set to public. I have to go into video manager and set it to the option I want. Minor problem but something that could probably be easily fixed. Thanks, Tom
  9. Yes. You will need to purchase an upgrade to use version 8. It is a very good upgrade deal to deluxe for $34. http://www.wnsoft.com/picturestoexe/buy/ Tom
  10. Hi Igor, Enabled 2 step authentication and added password for PTE YouTube uploads. Video (straight from FZ150) fails to upload at 1080p from my Win 8.1 Dell XPS8700 computer. The same slideshow uploads at 1080p on my Lenovo IdeaPad i7 Win7 laptop. Sample slideshow that uploads only on my Lenovo at 1080p. http://1drv.ms/1ofxyT8 Since nobody else seems to have this problem maybe we should label it SOLVED since it's limited to one PC. I reinstalled PTE 8.0.5 and that did not fix the problem. Thanks, Tom
  11. Another good one that I like. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMedia_Recode Tom
  12. Hi Igor, I will test again on a different PC tonight after work and report back here. Thanks, Tom Update. It uploads on my notebook PC. Lenovo i7 Windows 7 64 bit notebook PTE upload PASS 1080p Dell XPS8700 i7 Windows 8.1 64 bit tower PTE upload FAIL 1080p (PTE upload PASS 720p) Manual upload of PTE created 1080p MP4 file PASS. More testing tomorrow when I have more time. Thanks, Tom
  13. Hi Gary, I recently purchased Corel x7 Ultimate videostudio for $53 from Amazon. It comes with Mercalli 2 SE which is a limited version. According to the Corel documentation it is a 64 bit fx (plugin). I would expect rendering to be faster using the 64 bit version (also why PTE is beta testing a 64 bit version later this year). What the limitations are of the 32 bit version the proDAD support people would know. Maybe the 64 bit version is twice as fast? Maybe it can handle files > 4 GB in size? My experience with Mercalli on my PC have been very good, usually analyzing and rendering short videos in less than 1 minute. I will be testing 4K video as soon as my FZ1000 arrives. Thanks, Tom
  14. Hi Eric, The mp4 audio was AAC and PTE converted it to AC3. It is strange that I can manually upload the same mp4 file created by PTE for YouTube and it works. Just the PTE upload method fails.

  15. Hi Eric, Here is the complete 3 slide slideshow. I thought it was the first slide but later slide 1 uploaded without errors. 1080p upload with 3 slides fails. 10 MB http://1drv.ms/1khzW0P Thanks, Tom Manual Upload works 720p PTE Upload works
  16. I created a vibration style just for fun and applied it to a static image. X/Y/ rotate and zoom only. Keyframes >=25 mSec. I know it's not a real world test of image stabilization. Tom Vibration.ptestyle
  17. It appears to be limited to one video that I try to Publish on YouTube at 1080p. PTE Publish on YouTube 720p - Y PTE Publish on YouTube 1080p - N Chrome Drag and Drop YouTube Upload 1080p -Y The workflow that created this video: Apply vibration style to image in PTE 8.0.5 Import into Corel x7 VideoStudio Ultimate Apply Mercalli 2 SE video stabilization (split and full screen) Export mp4 Import into PTE 8.0.5 PTE Publish on YouTube 1080p. Since Drag and Drop upload method of the same mp4 file works it's not a big problem. I do not think it's bitdefender antivirus or malware bytes pro blocking the upload since it usually warns me if there is a problem. I can not verify the problem started with PTE 8.0.5 because my vibration style was created after PTE 8.0.4 was replaced by PTE 8.0.5. Thanks, Tom
  18. Hi Eric, I can create a mp4 and upload to youtube by drag and drop method. That works fine. The youtube publish option was working until (I think) I upgraded to 8.0.5. I will do more testing this weekend when I finish my vibration style (for video stabilization testing). Thanks, Tom
  19. Creates MP4 but does not upload. Can somebody verify this is a problem or just me? I do like the high speed upload. Thanks, Tom
  20. I am creating a PTE style that adds vibration (many keyframes with pan/rotate) to any image. After exporting the vibration slideshow as a mp4 video I test using Mercalli. It's interesting to see what it does to a perfect stationary image that is rapidly moved to simulate vibration. I will post the style and a video when it's finished. It does not seem to experience motion blur/focus probably because slow shutter/sensor exposure is not a problem. On actual video I use the excellent PTE screen sharpen filter. Tom
  21. Hi Gary, There is also http://www.mercallieasy.com/ for $20 with a free trial. My Corel X7 VideoStudio Ultimate was bundled with Mercalli 2 plugin. Not sure if it is full featured as v2 or v3 stand alone. http://www.amazon.com/Corel-VSPRX7ULENMB-VideoStudio-Ultimate-X7/dp/B00IIL0S8W/ Tom
  22. Hi Eric, I will probably wait awhile before buying another tripod or head. I want to try the sorbothane material first. It's used on telescopes, washing machines, shoe inserts, etc. It might keep my feet warm when walking in the winter since it converts vibration into heat. Thanks, Tom
  23. Hi Stu, I think it would be easy to create a PTE player that would open .ptshow files when you double click on them (player name with different .ptshow name). It might require some metadata added to the .ptshow file so there is created version information (if not already in the file). The auto update of the player (or at least download new version) would require additional code. Thanks, Tom
  24. Video quality looks good to me. We have steam locomotive and donkey (winch) the lumberjacks used for redwood logging a long time ago. The historical society fires it up a few times year but not as impressive as your steam engine. Tom
  25. I might try adding sorbothane feet to my tripod to see if it helps with vibration reduction during ultrazoom videos. If it's good enough for telescopes it should work with my camera. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorbothane http://www.sorbothane.com/blog/camera-vibration/ Tom
