For Version 9 Users who are trying to access the Version 9 Online Help from the HELP Menu there is a link to the Version 9 OH on the bottom of the Version 10 OH Home Page.

Use the link I gave in another topic and bookmark it. Alternatively, go to wnsoft.com/support. Perhaps Igor can alter it in a Version 9 update? Until then I have put a link to Version 9 OH on the Version 10 Home Page (bottom of page).

Right click on the Transition. Choose "Change Transition Settings" Choose / Highlight the variation. Click on Edit. DG

Try this one instead: DaveGee Flips and Swaps.pteeff

The REMOVE COMMAND only applies to the HIGHLIGHTED Transition and not to the TICKED Transitions. The Tick Boxes are for another purpose. DG

Ken, Version 9 Online Help: https://docs.picturestoexe.com/en-us/9.0/main# Version 10 Online Help: https://docs.picturestoexe.com/en-us/10.0/main# If you are in the process of learning a new version and you have bought Version 10 then I would concentrate on Version 10 and, as suggested elsewhere, open your Version 8 or 9 Projects in Version 10 and then save as a new name before continuing to edit or update. That way, you can preserve the originals in case you want to go back. Version 10 does not overwrite Version 9 so if you search your C: dive you will find both versions albeit that Version 10 is in C: Program Files and Version 10 is in C: Program Files (x86). DG

Paul, You do not have to ZIP ptestyle or pteeff files - you can post them directly here. There is a file limit of about 3.5Mb. DG

To do what I think you are suggesting it would be necessary to open a second instance of PTE, open the template from the Template Menu and copy and paste the result into the first instance. A far simpler solution for that scenario is to save the "template" as a Style and Apply that Style to your project /slides. DG

Hi WA, It can be both, but the advantage,to me, is the instant access that Templates allow from within the currently open project(s). DG

If you do not see the drop down list in the file menu and not having to unzip the backup to access your project as being advantages then your are probably right.

If you set up your manage templates options you can, after completing a project, save a Template and have it instantly available from a drop down list in the file/templates menu for opening at any time in the future. All images and audio are saved to the template. That is how I use it. DG

Two Key Frames. First Key Frame - Drag the Helicopter to the Start position. Second Key Frame - Drag the Helicopter to the position outside of the Frame. "Distance" between Key Frames determines the Speed at which it travels. Adjust Zoom or Pan Z if you want it to fly "away" from the Viewer.

Try "Negative". DG

pteeff is the correct suffix. ptef "should" import but maybe only singly Igor said this in 2015: PTEF is an old custom transitions (up to v8.0). New version 9.0 can only import these transitions. PTEEFF is a new transitions created in v9.0. (and 10) This file includes a transition AND all linked images inside one file.

Click on Manage Transitions Click on Import Transitions Navigate to where your pteeff files are stored Select first, click shift on subsequent files and click on OK Works ok here?

Try increasing the amplitude? Can you describe what you want to do in simple terms? DG

Works ok this end but I do not know what you are looking for. It seems to me that if you want to use video of this kind in a Custom Transition then it should be 2 seconds long for optimum results and no more than 4 seconds to be able to adjust it back to 2 seconds. in the form that you presented it I had no trouble in creating the transition in a slide. DG

Substitute an image for the blue rectangle and it's equivalent in the "transition (middle) slide". Do the same with the red rectangle and it's equivalent in the "transition slide". Add the video to the Mask Stencil. You could then make a Style out of the result to simplify the whole process. The transition slide would have to be the same duration as or slightly longer than the video. All transitions would then be quick - zero duration. The only drawback is that any movement (animation) in Slide 1 would stop during the transition. The "best" option is to create or modify the video clips to 2 seconds and create Custom Transitions which can then be increased in duration to the 5 seconds that you want. I "think" that PTE will create a 2 second video clip from your 5 second clip by adjusting the duration and saving as a different avi (twice).I Post a link to your video clip - I will try it. DG Here it is - done in PTE: Mariposas4.mp4

Custom Transitions have a default of 2 seconds in which to complete the animation. Your video is 5 seconds - even adjusting the Time Range to 200% does not allow it to finish within the 2 seconds and it is being cut off. You can create this transition within the O&A Window (instead of as a Custom Transition) and use the full 5.17 seconds of the Video in the Mask. DG Apply this style to a Blank image and take the second slide into O&A. Add your video into the mask stencil. Mariposa.ptestyle

Tom, How about getting some "bend" into the wings - it is not difficult, but is, perhaps, a little more time consuming. Take a look at the flag Style that I posted a long time ago - Lin adapted it for a few things. DG

Ann, Now that Version 10 is published Igor and the team are working full time on the MAC version - a little more patience is required but I am sure it will be worth it. DG

Tom, The procedure works when constructed on the PC but when trying to create a Style gives me a problem, so please use the following Style and follow the instructions below - that should work. Temp BG Style.ptestyle Add three images to the Slide list Highlight them all and Import and Apply the Style. Take the created first slide into O&A. Add a 30 second video to the Splitter in slide 1 and set it to Master Video Track. Copy the Master Video and paste it to the Splitter in the newly created slides 2 and 3. I will need to ask Igor to check out a Template of this to see if there is some sort of bug or if I am doing something wrong in order to create a Style which includes the Video. DG
