Gary, Your mail box is full. PM me when you have cleared it? DG

Hi Gary, If you look at the demo you will see a frame around the image? The Transition does not have this frame - you have to add your frame to your slide and also to the transition. The frame has to be ACCURATE. For 1920x1080 the frame is 1920x1080 outside - 1728x888 inside (in my case with a 3 pixel stroke line). If you place a 1728x888 image in your slide without a frame (Black BG) at 100% size and use the transition as is you will see it correctly (without the frame). I am trying to concentrate on Transitions and not Templates. The rest is up to the user /> DG

Hi Spock, As I said, you can use the Transition to create your own Template. Live long and prosper!:)/> DG

Mpeg2: Last page of video builder. Your options are mpeg2; ISO etc. DG

Try making an MPEG2 instead of burning a disc? When you have got that right - then go ahead and try burning the disc. Do the other options work? MPEG4 etc? Is the DVD sound working on your Computer? Is the DVD sound working on your DVD Player? There have been a few threads here recently which advised making the ISO first and then use software which plays the ISO - saves on discs. DG

Thanks Igor, My pleasure!! Bert, Please see your PM. DG

Apologies, I misunderstood your post. DG

Another, more refined, "bookish" transition. The transition can be used to produce the same effect as in the EXE Demo. Dave Gee 9 DG

Gerard, If your working aspect ratio is something other than 4:3 i.e. 16:9 you should change the aspect ratio when entering the Custom Transition Editor and immediately SAVE it. When you re-open the Custom Transition for further editing it should work OK. You can use CANVAS in place of MASKS. Please see PM. DG

I'll start it off with John L Williams - Impressions of Venice. A pleasant show which must be a marvellous memory of a fantastic trip to Venice. Images have been finished in the "Painterly Style" - very colourful. I would have like to have seen more close-ups of the sides of the buildings. There appear to be some very interesting details there which could be explored. The music - I did not think that it suited the show and cried out for a more Italian piece. DG

Please use this thread to discuss Shows posted at Beechbrook.com which don't have their own thread here? DG

The problems with AVG seemed to come and go at regular intervals. Since switching to MSE a year or so ago I haven't had a problem. DG

In Objects and Animation set a Key Frame at Zero and another at the extreme right hand side of the timeline. (Right click on Zero KF and choose CLONE KF - slide to RHS) Set the OPACITY of the Zero Key Frame to Zero and the opacity of the Right Hand Key Frame to 100 (in the Animation tab). Is this what you mean? DG

No problem Jim, I thought that Comments were applicable to ALL slides, but as Lin showed, that's not the case. DG

All, The reason I posted was that the "impression" is being given in this thread that these things are impossible to do in PTE. They are not impossible and they are not difficult. However, I fully expect that they will be made easier in the not too distant future. From the onset of Audio Editing in PTE I have used it exclusively and whilst I don't (perhaps) produce such complicated creations as the rest of you I haven't come across anything "impossible" to do in PTE. B)/> I'm not going to duck my head in the sand until Igor produces the "perfect Audacity Clone". :rolleyes:/> DG

Out of PURE interest, which part of all that do you guys find difficult (or even impossible) to do in PTE? This JPEG only shows one track but it is no more difficult with 32. Please remember - not being argumentative - just curious? DG

No Igor, Once the error occurs and I escape without saving it is OK. If I save before quitting then I am "stuffed";)/> - I have to delete the project in Explorer before I can open PTE again - the error is being saved with the project - does that make any sense? DG

Hi Igor, I have tried this before - and I have just tried it again. When I open the Saved Project the Program Freezes - NOT RESPONDING. I now have to delete the saved file in Explorer and/or Re-Install 7.5.x because it is now impossible to start PTE!! DG

Gogs, I have tried dragging WAV and MP3 files into the same timeline in both different tracks and into the same track. I could not replicate your problem. It is possible that either the WAV or the MP3 was causing the problem and NOT PTE. Which one was dragged in first (played first)? That is the one which is more likely to be causing your problem. DG

Gogs, A more detailed description of EXACTLY what you did to create the problem is required before any attempt could be made to cure it. Are you saying that you had WAV and MP3 files in the same track or were they in different tracks? DG

Hi IGOR, SORRY - that is exactly the same as 7.5.4. DG

Hi Barry, He has answered in another thread. What he wanted was a transition which opens as your example does but spreads the image over two pages without a "seam" in the middle. DaveGee7 Custom Transition does this but there is room for improvement if someone wants to take it on. DG

Hi Colin, My System is this one - bought off the shelf a year ago. http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/hp-envy-h8-1485ea-desktop-pc-17392849-pdt.html A year ago it was selling at the same price with W7, 8Gb of RAM and a slightly different Video Card. People say that it is possible to get better/cheaper but I prefer to buy off the shelf and know that it will do as it says on the tin without my intervention. I still have a HP Pentium which must now be around 8-10 years old with specs similar to yours which I have kept for all things musical. A DVD compilation of the sort we are talking about would take about the same time as yours. DG

Agreed Lin, I use a 16Gb key and it is adequate. On the HDD side though, I tried a 1Tb on my Sony and it would not recognize it. Possibly it is because it is one of the earliest Sony TVs with USB and Media Player. But I would take quite a while to fill up 500Gb so I would not worry about it.:rolleyes:/> My point was that I would rather put the money toward a new TV if my TV did not have USB. As well as Video it plays all of the other Media that you would want without having to convert to other formats. DG
