Look for spec of said phone - it will probably tell you which flavour of video file it will play? DG P.S. From user manual: Videos Learn to use the video player to play various kinds of videos. The video player supports the following file formats: 3gp,mp4, webm (Codec: MPEG4, H.263, H.264, VP8). ●● Some file formats are not supported depending on the software of the device. ●● If the file size exceeds the available memory, an error can occur when you open files. ●● Playback quality may vary by content type. ●● Some files may not play properly depending on how they are encoded. 1 In Idle mode, open the application list and select Videos.

Lin, As indicated above Igor and team have been working on this and a fix is imminent. DG

Da Campos, Can you confirm that dragging images and video into the Slide List gives you no problems? DG Può confermare che il trascinamento delle immagini e dei video nell'elenco delle diapositive vi dà problemi? DG

Totally agree. But if we can now drag and drop the audio as people seem to want then it is reasonable to expect that many will use the Timeline for both - and until Igor gets back to fix it we can expect a few queries along these lines. DG

Frans, As an experiment, can you try to rebuild the slide without the Mask in some way? In a recent PM discussion with Igor there was a suggestion about a future Version/Beta dealing better with the effects of Masks - maybe when he returns. In the meantime try minimising the use of masks? DG

Frans, Is the section which "Jerks and Stutters" controlled by a MASK? DG

Hi Peter, I'm back. The key to this problem is as I said in last post. If images and Video are dragged into Slide List - no problem - as you saw. If Images and Video are dragged into Timeline then the problem that Da Campos highlighted becomes obvious. Nothing is inserted in the correct Duration and the Freeze is observed. DG

Peter, I was dragging into Timeline and not Slide List. How much adjustment did you have to make for video? In normal mode it should be equal to transition time (no more). DGFrom BB

Da campos, Is your video avi or mov or.......... Dg From BB

Hi Peter, Interesting! I cannot test until later on this afternoon but last night I was getting the same as Da Campos. the video I was using was a MOV out of camera. I can try again. I have also noted that PTE seems to no longer offer conversion automatically? Later? DgFrom BB

Da Campos, Can you TRY a different TRANSLATOR - the one you are using is NOT working? DG

Further info: The video does not seem to be the root cause of the problem. Dragging the video in first produces the expected result. A 20s Clip is properly inserted as 20s. If a still image is added first it also is correctly timed - adding a video sends things into confusion. The original still image (7s) becomes20s. The added video is correctly timed until a still image is added after the video. The video then takes on an extra 10s. This is different behaviour to V707. I believe we have a BUG Houston? I wonder if it is related (in any way) to the other bug where starting a preview from current slide goes back too far? DG

Da Campos, You are RIGHT!! When a Video is dragged into the Slide List in Version 7.5 its time is being wrongly interpreted. In my case I dragged a 1m 10s video into the time line and it became 1m 20s. The problem exists in both KFSD and non KFSD Modes. The problem is repeatable. I will try a few more different videos. DG

In KFSD, if you introduce a video into the Slide List by dragging from the File List, then the slide duration (including incoming and outgoing transitions) equals the Video Duration. Automatic! The video begins at the beginning of the incoming transition and ends at the end of the outgoing transition - no frozen frames. DG

Or you could use "Keep Full Slide Transition" and Automate the whole Process??? DG

Xaver's right that it is not serious, but it deserves to be looked at. I tried another scenario where a Button was programmed on slide 5 to go back to slide 3. In the actual EXE it works perfectly. It seems that it is only the TOAST Button which is not performing correctly. DG

Downloaded the BUG Demo thanks to Xaver's instructions. With the WAIT command disabled the first slide flashes on screen momentarily before the Slide 2 appears. DG P.S it does not do that in Version 7.0.7

With respect guys I think that the WAIT command is a "RED HERRING". There is also a difference between FULLSCREEN and WINDOWED MODE. The "problem" is more pronounced in FULLSCREEN and is hardly noticeable in WINDOWED MODE - on my machine with the WAIT command OFF. DG

You have an advantage over us - like Peter, when I click on the link there is no obvious Demo to download????? My tests did not include a "Wait" parameter but still behaved in the described manner. DG

In Version 7.0.7 the Preview begins at ZERO for the selected slide. If there is a transition the the previous slide is seen fading out. If there is no transition the previous slide is not seen. In Version 7.5 (on both of my Vista Laptop and W7 Desktop machines) it starts at ZERO minus X seconds when there is no Transition. If there is a transition it starts correctly at ZERO - this is easily demonstrated by inserted an object at the end of the previous slide whose opacity goes (suddenly) to nothing at the ZERO point of the selected slide. DG

I have now tried it on both W7 and Vista and cannot duplicate the problem. No minus figures and the green / blue progress bars show correctly. The next logical step would probably to ask if a Template could be posted where this behaviour can be repeated? DG

Peter, Open up V707 and start a new project with a couple of slides and QUICK TRANSITION. What do you see there? DG

Mary, I think that you need to go into FULL EDITOR in order to alter the Title. DG

Mary, I would be tempted to uninstall the 7.5 Full version and re-install. Just in case? DG
