Hang on for five minutes and I will post a style. DG

Sorry Tom - do not understand. Where do you not see the bg video. On my video example or when you try it on your pc? DG

Barry, At SSC it is possible to include a linked Youtube (or Vimeo) MP4 alongside the EXE for download. I showed that this was possible some time ago. The "down" side is that you have to upload an EXE before being able to put the link in the Comments. It does not have to be "THE" exe - it could be just a dummy or an advert. But it allows for the addition of the link. Example: https://www.slideshowclub.com/files/file/151-physiognomyzip/?tab=comments#comment-296 DG

Tom, There is no need to include a video in a Custom Transition. Explore the possibilities available when you add a Video to the Splitter for Background Objects and use Master and Linked Video. If the Video is longer than the duration of the slides it will continue behind the slides and one of my Advanced Flips and Swaps Transitions will operate over the top of the background video. Ideal if your output is MP4. Quick 'n' Dirty example:

If you have ever wondered just what the Ken Burns Effect is or want to see how Ken Burns puts it into practice, his multi part documentary on Country Music is currently running on BBC TV on Friday evenings and is available for viewing on the BBC iPlayer. DG

PTE shadow DOES work with video clips. DG

Does it really matter whether we use a rectangle or another incidence of the Main Image from which to generate the shadow? Likewise, does it matter whether we use blur or the built shadow profiles? There are no hard and fast rules about it and if we find a set of parameters that work for us as individuals then perhaps that is the way to go. Regarding PTE shadow styles, I think that Mur has done some work with these and could be persuaded to share his findings. It is relatively easy to demonstrate the different profiles but finding a use for them is a different matter. DG

Yes, in the circumstances I described. DG

Bruno, There are times when the opacity of a shadow needs to be controlled via a number of KF, such as during a transition where the image/object is a percentage of full screen. Using a rectangle allows you to do that. The shadow, in O&A Properties, has limitations so I have ceased using it some time ago. The Rectangle is much more versatile. It is Barry's video and he chose to use a rectangle and share his thoughts about it. There is nothing stopping any of us from posting an alternative if we so wish. DG

Create a Style with a Text Template. Apply this Style to a Blank Slide and play the result in Preview. Create a Text Template Style.ptestyle Create a Theme: https://docs.picturestoexe.com/en-us/10.0/themes/create DG Someone will come along with a video soon.

Geoff, The image name appearing with each individual image is a function of the various Styles which are included in the Theme. The Theme can be thought of as the Master Folder which contains Sub-Folders (Styles). Can you first create a Style or Styles which adds the name? DG

All other considerations aside, how much more difficult would it be to add a suffix to each different version of an image/file? Putting different versions of a file in different folders with the same name is (IMHO) a recipe for disaster. If Igor can rename each duplicate file in the BIZ AND change the path for the duplicated (renamed) file in the project .pte file in the BIZ, then that would appear to be the way to go for those who cannot organise their files better.

I have all versions from 10.0.0 onwards so if it is urgent please pm me and we can arrange something? DG

That was not my experience - I trimmed both ends of the Video and the sound was maintained. DG P.S. Just tried it again - same result - Sound OK.

THAT SEEMS TO HAVE SOLVED IT. DG

.....continued...... Tried the VTS file. Trim OK. HA OK. Sound OK. DG

Igor, I just tried the Sofia.mpg file. HA worked OK. Trim was OK. But, no sound. DG

Will it only rename the image file or will it also update the reference in the .pte file??

Igor, In the case of there being two different images with the same name and option 2 would not the .PTE file (in a BIZ ) use one file incorrectly?? DG

I think (?) that when you update Photoshop to V21, ACR (latest version) is included. I didn't update my ACR separately but my version is 12. The default installation seems to be to install V21 alongside the previous version so any Desktop or Task Bar Shortcuts will need to be renewed. I have never used Lightroom (or Bridge). DG

Firstly, did you mean a DVD? Possibly, if the author used Videobuilder, the wrong choices were made for playing in the USA, or maybe the author did not intend that the disc find its way to the USA. A far better solution is to make an MP4 and write it as data to a CD/DVD. Alternatively the author could upload to YouTube or Vimeo for instant viewing. MP4 files have no international boundaries whereas a DVD does.

Frans, Right click on the video clip in the FILE list. DG p.s. Thanks, I have corrected the OH.

This was written for Version 8 some time ago and will be updated soon, but should give you a starter. https://docs.picturestoexe.com/en-us/10.0/techniques/menu?s[]=menu https://docs.picturestoexe.com/en-us/9.0/how_to_v9/button#add_hyperlinkaction_on_mouse_click (Refers to Buttons but can also be used with Images).
