Wil, The version that Igor posted above is just for TEST purposes. Follow his instructions and send him the text file in the Main folder after closing the programme following the error. I have already done this but another test may show extra info. DG

OK stand by. DG

Umberto, "Trick" = "Workaround"? /> DG

Put a frame between parent and children and apply the compensation to the frame?? this could be done retrospectively.DG

Gary, I don't think that you would work that way? The PNG file would be your "FRAME" for your Project Window - 1920x1080 etc and would not vary. For everything else you would use Border/Canvas. You could copy an image from one slide to another with a Border Canvas setting of 3 pixels. You change the Image in Properties and, regardless of any differences in Image size or AR, the same 3 pixels border/canvas would apply. Did you try the Copyright method? DG

An interesting fact for those who are not aware of it. I have been constructing a Menu for a forthcoming event and have found out that I can start a particular project from the menu and work on it (in PTE) while my menu is still running in the background. By choosing "Run Application or Open File" from the dropdown and then navigating to the .pte file [change "Applications (*.exe; *.msi)" to "All Files"] - select the ".pte" file. When you run the Menu in Preview or as a EXE and click on the Hyperlink, PTE will open with the correct project ready loaded to work on or demonstrate something. Best wishes, DG

You could also add it as a Copyright in Project Options which would not require adding it to every slide. The downsides are that it does not show in O&A and you cannot remove it on an individual slide should you need to. PNG is best. DG

Artem, See your PM. DG

OK - I'm convinced - please stand by. DG

Artem, I can start a new project in 7.5.4 and add ANY Video and it happens. Point me to any video and I will try it? The Laptop is Vista 32 Bit. Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 2.1 GHz 4Gb Memory 1280x800 Screen NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT GPU 256Mb Ram DG

Artem, I can only reproduce this on my VISTA Laptop - W7 is OK. It does not depend on specific Video Files. DG

I tried it on a Vista laptop.More testing required.DG

A png "stroke" line copied to all slides is the way I do it. It is probably not the only way. The "enable border" changes the ar unless you alter the canvas by the same amount. Dg

It's normal Gary. If you want to behave the same as the "stroke" command in PS then you need to use CANVAS in conjunction with Border. Set canvas (all 4) equal to Border. DG

You are right - it is easy to reproduce. As well as producing the Error message it turns the Video from Colour to B+W? DG

If I might add an opinion as a non-professional />? No. It is possible with a single keyframe object to move the key frame to wherever it is required along the timeline (relative to the slide's animation) and make any changes neccessary at that point. DG

That makes sense. (Assemble at Monitor Width). DG

Hi Umberto, Trying to change the figures in the way that you show does indeed produce an assertion error. If you click on the folder dropdown instead it takes you back to the mask dialogue where any changes made do not produce the Assertion Error. Perhaps it would be best to not have the parameters in the Properties box or, as you say, make it read only. DG

Barry, Now that is planning ahead! DG

Umberto, I cannot replicate this - can you be specific about the settings which produce the result you report? If I enter figures greater than 512x512 the result is still a 512x512 mask (without an exception error). Do you agree that the "slider controls" are "clipped"? DG

The following are meant to give information and not to provide an argument: DG P.S. IMHO (and it is just an opinion) 1920x1200 is already outdated. I have stated elsewhere that although my present monitor is 1920x1200 and I have no reason to change it, when the need arises I will choose 1920x1080 next time. This is providing that, by the time I get around to changing it, TVs and Projectors have not already moved on to an established higher resolution (than 1920x1080). All of the above is IMHO and not argumentative.

Glad that you were able to cure it. There was a similar post recently where non standard settings had been used and produced the same result. That's why I pointed in that direction. In Audition I have always used MP3Pro in "Save as Typ" and the settings in Options as follows: CBR + MP3 128 / 160 / 192 / 256 Kbps @ 44100Hz Never had a problem with that. DG
