Mark / Barry, 1024x576 is not going be as good on an iPad 4. Try it? You might think it's acceptable but I can see quality issues. I have yet to find a way of getting video to play at actual pixels on the iPad 4 so your 1024 wide becomes 2048 wide. Putting the 1024 wide on a 2048 "carrier" is one way forward unless someone else knows of a way to play at actual pixels? DG

Create a free account at DropBox or post at Media Fire and let us download the larger project which shows the problem. Describe the problem as accurately as you can and tell us what you think is out of sync? https://www.dropbox.com/plans http://www.mediafire.com/ I'm not a big fan of mediafire because of the suspicious adverts. DG

Just put one image up which displays the problem and let us try it out in PTE and PS etc.? DG

Colin, Do you have Synchronise Sound Track etc ticked in Project Options Advanced? DG

Colin, How big is your attachment - there is a limit? If it fits the bill then go to Full Editor - Click to Attach Files and when the file is uploaded click on the Add to Post on the right. DG

Gary, That's basically what I said here: The "gotcha" is that it only happens after a Save or Save As. DG

Gary, I will revise my post above. I agree that the first time in a new project it will require you to Browse. Thereafter it will automatically pick up the Save As folder. DG

Hi Igor, The Vimeo production was most impressive. You should have great fun with this!! DG

Gary / Ken, I think that we have to accept the current version available for download HERE as the latest. It shows up in HELP as 7.5.2. Igor was/is (?) trying to find a solution to a unique problem arising out the special circumstance of using KFSD and "Repeat Until Esc" and gave me a couple of trial versions. Until he comes up with a solution the current 7.5.2 is the best option and the KFSD problem can easily be "worked around". DG

Try 7.5.2 - it might do all that you ask for? DG

Gary, My current project is a 7.5 project and opens with the Project Folder (my Save As Folder) already open. If I now open a much older Project it does not recognize its Project Folder. Do a Save As and repeat the process and all is well - project folder recognized. This feature did not arrive with 7.5.3 so I assume that all Projects Saved after a particular Version (7.x.x) will do this - You are asking for it to be made a retrospective feature? On your second point - it does - from 7.5. On your third point - it does - from 7.5. DG

Hi Geoff, With respect to you that is surely unfair to Igor? If there is a problem (which I am not seeing) then we need to give Igor all of the info necessary to cure the problem. I have run around 8-10 shows this way from a menu and haven't seen the problem. How about reducing the number of shows (as a trial) to see if that is what is causing it and build up from there? DG

Is it that Igor made this change in a particular version and that in versions after that it does what you want and in versions prior to that it doesn't?? If you open an older project and save it as a 7.5 version it will always open the correct folder from that point onwards? DG

Lin / Jose, When Lin mentioned PS I thought he was refering to re-sizing. If you re-size an image and then reverse that process you cannot be sure of getting back to where you started (other than by using the History Pallette). Zooming into an image is different - no new pixels are made. DG

Lin, I am not sure that the Photoshop example is correct? If you make an image 150% bigger you are introducing intermediate pixels. If you then return the image to 100% I am not sure that you would necessarily lose all of the exact pixels that you gained in the upscaling process?? Something to think about? DG

Hi Jose, I think that we may be misunderstanding one-another? Any image used in PTE "should" be big enough to cope with the amount of zooming required. If you use a 1920x1080 image in a 1920x1080 project and apply 200% zooming to it then you WILL get "degradation" or "interpolation effects" during the Zoom. But if you zoom back out to 100% you will, once again, be using the original image at its original "pixel-for-pixel" resolution with no lasting side effect. If you use a 3840x2160 image in a 1920x1080 project and use "fit to screen" you are applying a 50% zoom to it. You can then zoom to 100% without any interpolation effects being evident. Anything over 100% will cause interpolation effects (degradation) but it will recover if you use a zoom value between 50% and 100% again. If you did that in an image editor you might not get away with it but PTE is not an image editor. I hope that I am understanding your question? DG

Jose, Since the same image is zoomed in and out to whatever percentage is required and is never saved how can there be any degredation? The deciding factor is the percentage zoom at any moment in time i.e. if the (overall) zoom percentage is 150% (given a 1920x1080 image in a 1920x1080 project) then upscaling is taking place but when the zoom percentage is returned to 100% (overall) then the upscaling ceases and the image is represented pixel for pixel. Downscaling is always preferable to upscaling and Igor said (a long time ago) that PTE is better at downscaling than upscaling. If you can determine the (overall) zoom percentage that an image is going to be subjected to then it is possible to calculate the exact pixel dimensions to size the image at in order to gain maximum efficiency in terms of project size. Or you can do as some people do if their computers are powerful enough - feed it with full sized 36Mp Jpegs at the highest quality - you can't do better than that :rolleyes:/>. DG

Hi John, Pleased to hear that it worked. WHICH variation did you use? iPad 1, 2, 3, 4 Mini etc? DG

Apologies Tom, It was Gary and I have now deleted the file on Dropbox - I'll PM you later. DG

Tom, If you look at the sample I gave you you will see that the Frame Rate is given as 29.7fps although it was shot at 60fps. It is SOOC so it has not been converted by anything (other than the camera). It is also MOV H.264. There is no option for ouputting from the camera at 60fps - just for shooting. Same goes for the 120fps and 240fps options. So if I want slo mo I just shoot at 60, 120 or 240fps and import straight into PTE. Speeding up (shooting at 15fps) is the same. So, leaving quality issues aside, it does pretty much what anyone would want of a video in terms of captured speed variation. The down side is that it does not do it at 1080 high throughout. Post capture speed variation is a job for software. DG

OK, so for the uninitiated: I have a little Nikon that records at 240fps, 120fps, 60fps, 30fps and 15 fps. No matter which one I choose, playback is always at 30fps (or thereabouts). The primary purpose of these choices seems to be to slow down the motion or (in the case of 15fps) to speed it up. Tom, you are saying that certain players will play video recorded at 60fps at that framerate? At present PTE plays my 60fps video (OOC) at the normal 30~fps giving me a slowed down "slo mo" appearance. So, forget about web video for the moment - if I take some 60fps video what am I likely to have which will play it at 60fps and not slow the motion down? ......and does a player capable of 60fps also cater for playing at 30fps?? ......or does the little Nikon take the video at 60fps etc and output it at 30fps?? DG

Thanks Tom, I have added a third variation to the SHUTTER transition above. DG

Here are a couple of ideas for a camera shutter transition. The Version 2 will work with any AR. The original Version is for 16:9 only. Shutter speed is variable and 1 second or less is about right. 16:9 Demo (Safe Executable): Camera Shutter.zip Camera Shutter 16 by 9.zip Camera Shutter 16 by 9 v2.zip Camera Shutter 16 by 9 v3.zip

Please keep separate?? DG

Mike, Until then, my prefered workflow is to make the ISO and then use ROXIO etc to burn the ISO. Much better success rate! DG
