I'm tending to agree with Gary that the Tracks need to be displayed differently in the Waveform Display in Project Options>Music. I would like to see a track which has, for instance, been offset to have a flat line for the duration of the Offset and the Total Time for the Track shown. In multiple tracks this would allow for a better visualisation of the exact time the one track fades out and the next fades in. Seeing them all at the same time would be even better. DG

Some possibilities for the forthcoming B+W/Sepia feature that Igor hinted at. One image subjected to B+W and Sepia - no (little) increase in file size for the conversions. Previously would have required three images. Any other ideas? POSSIBILITIES.zip 1024x768 - Windowed Mode - Keyboard works. DG

Lin, The site I linked to is a nightmare!! Go to Forum and Nikon and "D800 is finally here", then scroll down. Try this: http://www.nikonuser...24552ff69cd15e6 or this: http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/microsite/d800/index.htm I'm not in the market for a D800 (or a D8000 for that matter!) - My D700 will do for some time. The D800/800E is going to be of use to someone, but not me. I have just upgraded to a new computer to cope with 25Mb NEFs - 70Mb NEFs are going to need a little more. The image that you pointed to is a downloaded JPEG - the RAW would give a totally different JPEG in different hands. DG

It can be a problem when not viewing a show at its native resolution. Unfortunately, we all should be on 1920x1080 now (but are not). It shows that whatever resolution you use someone is going to view on a different res monitor and not see exactly what you are seeing. DG

Hi Mick, No intentional Moire. Are you viewing at 1920x1080? DG

Thanks to Bill for hosting a PTE show that I threw together to take my mind off things at the moment. http://www.beechbrook.com/pte/ 1920x1080 - 74Mb - No Nav Bar (Sorry Ken). Feedback welcomed. DG

Newer versions are not backwards compatible because of new features. If you ignore the message and open anyway the earlier version will open the PTE but any newer features will not be applicable. Make sure that you have the current latest v7.0.4 and use that exclusively - there is little point in using v5 or v6. DG

Superb!! You read my mind!! No longer do we have to make multiple versions of images for basic effects. A great refinement would be to make it possible to apply it to a Keyframe rather than globally. Not as good as Nik Silver EFX Pro but great for passing effects. DG P.S. Any more that you have not told us about??????

Bob, If you mean what I THINK you mean - no you can't. You have to change the Image file in O&A>Properties>Picture for each slide. Sorry. DG

Thanks for the feedback. Here's the 1920x1080 BWB Frame (along with the original 1620x1080 Frame). Daves BWB Frame.zip DG

Here's a Settings File that I created some time ago when I started to wean myself off dependence on the Adobe product. It puts a 2 pixel BWB line around a 1620x1080 image for use in PTE. If anyone finds it useful I can also post the 1920x1080 version. Unfortunately, in NX 2.3, it is not possible to create a single version which works for all resolutions. Each resolution requires its own settings file. I can live with this. Unzip the Settings File to a folder on your hard drive - Load into NX2.3 from that location and save the three Colorize Edit Steps as a single Settings File to your Settings File Folder. It is possible to change the Black-White-Black to any other colours as required. Daves BWB Frame.zip DG

Jeff, You have done an excellent job of integrating the Video and stills in an almost seemless manner. I'll look at that again!! To be hyper-critical some of the skies have pixellation and the silhouettes have excessive (unnecessary) halos - all fixable. I'll still watch it again!! DG

Bob, If you were to save a Template which included slide and object timings and then re-opened it, what you could then do is change the Image (O&A Properties) and Object to something new. You could save a Template with just one slide and copy and paste that slide as many times as needed. But you would just use each slide as a Template for your new image/object. Jill's method is probably easier but not the only way to do it. That's the beauty of PTE. DG

O&A> Properties> Mute Audio for the one you want silent. DG

Frans, Download and extract the Template Folder here: White Mask.zip DG

What about a White PNG Rectangle with a cutout inside the mask above (but linked to) the image. The size of the cutout could be manipulated to the desired frame size? DG

Ken, Resolution and Aspect Ratio are ESSENTIALS. Running time is important. File size is evident when initiating the download. Number of slides is irrelevant but nice to know. DG

Resolution of Image(s) in the 48 second slide? Resolution and AR of project? Is there a music file attached to this slide? DG

O&A - Size of Parent etc - Click on SIZE Use arrows to move image to left or right. Duplicate Keyframe. Use arrows to move image to left or right. Click on play. Why 1204x768? That's an odd Project Size? DG

Ray, I seem to remember coming across this setting a while ago on my Sony HD TV. Glad that you have solved it!! DG

KFSD: There was a HUGE thread on KEEP FULL SLIDE DURATION. Before it was half way through the abreviation KFSD was adopted by most. I apologise for not using the full phrase - I thought that it was a universally accepted abreviation amongst those who are regulars. DG

Attached are a Template of my settings for a 1920x1080 Project for HD TV and the corresponding MPEG4 made from it. The MPEG is a perfect fit on my HD TV with the BWB line showing all around. DG 1920x1080 TV TEST PT.zip 1920x1080 TV TEST MP4.zip

ray couple of ways of applying stroke line.in ps make sure stroke line is inside.in pte as a global png frame. as above.if pc monitor is hd then you should see same symptoms there. is pc monitor 16:10?please give a little more detail or pm me template in zip folder without images.if your pte setup is right have you altered your tv geometry at any time?dg
