A series of 1920x1080 (16:9) Custom Transitions (CT's) which can be used as presented or as the basis of your own CT's. Simply Load any of the CT's and edit in the CT Editor. The Default PTE CT animation can be changed to your own without having to construct the basic splitting of Slide 1 and Slide 2 into 2, 4, 16 or 64 sections.

Thanks Igor for the explanation. I am still of the opinion that this could cause disastrous results if someone were to first set 16:9 in the Main Tab and then accidentally change the preset 1920x1080 to 1280x716. DG

If you set any of the following resolutions in the SCREEN TAB of Project Options (accidentally or otherwise) the MAIN TAB will still show a 16:9 Aspect Ratio. 1920x1076 1920x1077 1920x1078 1920x1079 1920x1081 1920x1082 1920x1083 1920x1084 At 1920 wide the ONLY resolution which should show a 16:9 AR is 1920x1080. All other resolution settings should show CUSTOM. DG

Barry, If it were JUST adverts I would be happy, but sometimes it is the NATURE of the adverts. Also, if you click on a wrong link (easy to do), you are downloading something other than what you intended. You also have hidden adverts which don't show until you close other windows. I don't like it - never have - never will. DropBox gives me more than I need with NO adverts. DG

Gary, Go to the screen page and enter a resolution which fit one of the presets e.g. 1920x1080. However that doesn't answer the "greyed out" problem. Show us the SCREEN option? DG

Jose, Have you tried: Open Old Project - copy slide. Open New Project - Paste Slide It works between V7.5.10 and V8. DG

+1 Great work!! DG

Peter, You seem to be right. DG

Hi Denis, You probably will not like my method/workaround?B)/> 1. Backup the style that you want to rename by EXPORTING it. 2. Apply the style to an image or images. 3. DELETE the Style. 4. Create (recreate) the Style from the applied style. You can rename it and it will accept the new name - there is nothing there to overwrite. DG

ARTY BORDER renamed to Arty Border: Arty Border.ptestyle DG

Can you please post the style? DG

In that case it is probably Grisman on Mandolin - but I did not recognise it. At first I thought it was Evans on a D41/42. Thanks, DG

Anthony, Mute the video and add it as an Audio Track? You can then adjust its volume. Go to Project Options / Audio / Add Audio Where it says Audio Files (bottom right) - change that to - Video Files. Find your video and add it. If necessary you can use OFFSET to line it up with the precise beginning of the video. You can then use all of the envelope controls as if it were Audio. DG

Great Lin!! You forgot to credit the music? DG

If you apply a style you can then CREATE a style from it? You can then give it a different or variant name. DG

Exactly. If you do not use it ignore it! DG

If it were not in settings then the original concept of adding a video in FSD would not exist? DG

If you go to YT and are logged in you can upload an mp4 from there. Make suitable mp4 in pte and upload that way? DG

If Igor can do it I would endorse that! At present it is assuming that you KNOW that you set KFSD on or off. In the example you quoted you had two transitions each of 3 seconds - that left no time in the FSD for anything else. DG

Andre, The correct way to add slides is either drag and drop into the slide line or select in the file list and use the right mouse click. The timeline does not give you a good result. You drag audio into the timeline. DG

[in accordance with all the discussions that have taken place here on the forum, the combined effect of those two values is that each slide, by default, will have a Full Slide Duration of 9 seconds = its own slide duration plus the transition duration of the next slide, if that next slide exists] Another misconception - FSD is FSD whether the next slide exists or not. If and when the next slide exists - then its transition time becomes part of the FSD of the slide in question. Try it with zero transition times?? And set 9 seconds FSD (with preferences = KFSD and Show FSD). DG

No, because you have chosen your Preferences for KFSD and Show FSD the figure that you enter in Project Option IS the FSD - in your case 6 seconds. This is why, in the timeline for that example it is all transition and no duration. If you choose KFSD and Show FSD you don't have to calculate - WYSIWYG. DG

You're welcome!! That's what I said. I completely and 100% utterly agree but the CHOICE is there and I wouldn't like to see it taken away just because somebody doesn't use it? The discussion at this time is not about KFSD. It is about FSD as applied to Styles. Two different things. DG

Bottom left corner in the Video- Builder section. Untick "Create Menu". DG

Here's an example to try. I have a slide which is 2 seconds transition and 5 seconds duration which is followed by a slide of the same timings. The Full Slide Duration of the above example is 7 seconds. Check it out in the Timeline. I want to apply the Pan Up Style which has an FSD of 12 seconds. Check it out in the Style Window. Two ways forward: 1. Adjust the time of the Style (before applying it) to 7 seconds FSD. The result of this is that the style will "Play Faster" and the applied transition time will be shorter - 1.167 seconds. Adjust the transition time to 2 seconds. 2. Alternatively, apply the style and get what the author intended - a 12 second FSD style slide with a 2 second transition. The slide duration can then be adjusted to your original 5 seconds duration (7 seconds FSD). DG
