  3. Music synchronisation problem [SOLVED]

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Hi Igor,

    I have created a Backup in Zip which I would be happy to send to you but it exceeds the 7.81 MB. I could send it with WeTransfer if you care to give me an email address.

    Since I raised this I have made an abridged version of the show that was badly out of sync with Media Player and notice that this abridged version also is out of sync with Media Player but meets my expectations on VLC.

    I look forward to your findings.

    Regards

    John

    Hi Igor,

    Thank you for your reply.

    Let me know exact version of PTE AV Studio (from the About window). 

    11.0.11 (64-bit) Build 1

    Check a state of an option "Synchronize slides and soundtrack" in the Project Options > Advanced tab. This option should be ticked.

    Yes, this is ticked.

    Do you use MP3, WAV or another format?

    MP3

  7. Borders

    in Styles & Templates

    Posted

    Hi Barry,

    Thanks, yet again, for your input. I was aware and indeed have been using the PNG process but was looking to see if a style wouldn't do the job more slickly. The aspect I hadn't thought of was using a "temporary"  border/frame file as you have demonstrated, rather than a "stock" file. It certainly provides more flexibility for changing multiple slides.

    Regards

  8. Borders

    in Styles & Templates

    Posted

    Hi,

    Slide Styles is not something I use very frequently, primarily because I tend to prefer to build my shows with variable slide lengths and contents and would not know which style if any I may wish to use at the outset, and indeed will probably change my mind at least once!

    I have recently wanted to add a thin border to EVERY slide (all with variable lengths) when I finished my sequence. I found I could do this utilising Borders/Simple and adjusted size %’ages to my liking, ticking “Keep Slide Order” but find this not reliable as it appears to alter the first slides length to the specified length of the slide style.

    I have also created my own style but find no way of overriding the specified length issue.

    There is a second issue which I would need to overcome and that is that on some slides I could have more than one image (object). I have found that when applying my “Border” style subsidiary images (objects) are removed.

    Any ideas how I might be able to achieve this?

    I have also been playing about with “Templates” and a .png border image, so far with limited success.

    Anybody got any ideas?

  10. Frames and Objects within frames

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Explanation please.

    Working in a Frame in O&A I am finding that I am not able to apply “opacity” to multiple objects between keyframes within the frame, but I can apply “blur”. I can achieve the effect of fading in “opacity” by applying maximum blur and zero blur between keyframes. Is there a reason for this. Confirmation that I am not missing something would be appreciated.

  12. TEXT NAMING

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi,

    I haven't been active on the forum for a while so I thought I should stir things up.

    I can't recall how many times I have raised this but it must be several and don't recall getting a decisive answer. Equally, I can't believe that I am the only person who finds this at least irritating!

    Is there no way of giving TEXT objects distinctive names rather than TEXT 1, TEXT 2, etc. I can have several (6-10) TEXT objects on one slide all doing different things at different times and always require changes being carried out during the creation of the slide. Names such as Text 1,2 etc. become meaningless and totally confusing. Even the first 5-10 characters being automatically displayed and/or a manual naming would be extremely helpful.

    What do people think.

    I thought that at on time in the dim and distant past we could do this, but perhaps not!

  13. Slide Naming

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi Dave,

    Thanks for your reply. As I said its not a big problem and not something I have so far found worth going to the trouble of renaming manually. It just seems illogical to me and surprising that it has not been addressed. Not possessing any knowledge of programming, in my ignorance I would have expected it to be a relatively simple task to have the file name shown be that of the file image shown.

    I’m quite certain this will have been addressed in the past and there will be a very good reason, but it escapes me.

    When an image is added to the timeline the slide created takes the file name of that image – logical. When you add a second image to that slide it retains the name of the first image yet when you remove the first image the slide retains the file name of the first image.

    Not a big issue but why?

  15. Vector Graphics PTE 11

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Igor,

    Thank you for your reply. Yes I have used Windings in the past manually as you describe and also from time to time graphics from other sources. Had it been possible to store additional graphics alongside the new method you have introduced would have been good, but just a luxury! No problem.

    Regards

  17. Shutting Down Suddenly [SOLVED]

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Igor Et Al,

    That has sorted my issue regarding the correct version, thank you. Hopefully it has also sorted the closing down issue - time will tell. I like the new goodies that I have seen so far but, strangely, I am most excited with the ability to drag and drop objects in O&A. PTE just gets better and better.

    Thanks

    John

  18. Shutting Down Suddenly [SOLVED]

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    I believe I am running Studio 11Pro (NOT a Beta Version).

    I am experiencing problems with it shutting down unexpectedly from time to time (had to reduce save time down to 3 minutes).

    I notice this was an issue during Beta stages but assumed it had been sorted.

    Two questions.

    1.            Is this still an issue?

    2.            How can I be certain I am in fact running latest (launched) version as “About PTE” contradicts itself by stating “ PTE 11 Pro – Version 11.0 Beta 7”

    Thanks

    John

  23. Audio Controls

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi

    That is what I thought but for some reason it’s not happening. What is happening is that as the cursor reaches the second clip it abruptly plays it. No fade or mix. I have noticed this happen on occasions before so wondered if there was some setting I had inadvertently switched on or off. 

    Cheers

    Hi,

    I feel certain that I have in the past been able to have one audio clip fade out and a second fade in but have them overlap, effectively mix. I am not able to get this to work and I can’t find any way of controlling this. Was it never possible? Or am I fantasizing again?

  25. Stop and Start Video

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi,

    Is there any way to temporarily stop (freeze) video within a slide timeline, to fade in a still image and then restart the video at the point it was stopped when the still image is faded out?

    I suspect this is more of a video editor feature.

    I think I will probably have to use two slides and use the “Adjust Time Range” data to synchronise between the slides.

    Anybody got any other suggestions?

    Cheers

    John
