Peter, I get the same result as you. If you look at the properties of the MP4 it indicates that the frame rate is 3fps?? When I play the MP4 it just staggers along as though that indication is correct. Has it been through another conversion process at any time? If you are sure that it is the original straight out of camera then maybe you should suspect tat the camera had a little hiccup. More detail?? DG

Ray, I THINK that your problem might be the same as mine. If you have a HP with Integrated Graphics i.e. an Intel Card and an nVidea card the problem lies with HP. They modified the Driver for the nVidea card (or both) so any update for this problem would have to come from HP - not nVidea. DG

As I said above - delete the converted copy and try again. If it is still the same please post the DropBox Link? DG

Peter, Can you make the mp4 available for someone to take a look at it? When you converted the mp4 in pte what modifications, if any, did you make? I have been using the converter in pte regularly, as have others, with no problems, so I don't think that the converter is the problem. Did you trim it etc? DG

Something seems to have gone wrong during the conversion. Try deleting the converted file in Explorer. Right click on the original in PTE and then convert WITHOUT modification. Wait for the converter to finish. Does the thumbnail of the converted file now look like the thumbnail of the original? DG

The latest Version (1.3) includes the Nikon Z6/Z7 "Creative Picture Control" which can be used (in the software) retrospectively With older DSLR cameras. https://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/products/220/ViewNX-i.html DG

Each "Slide" has a transparent rectangle on the top with an "Action on mouse click" assigned to it. You can change the assignment. See below:

Mk I: Kodachrome Menu.ptestyle Add 24 Images to the Slide List and apply the Style. Just click on a Slide of choice in the Lightbox. Click on the left hand side of the Nav Bar to return to the Menu. Slides are timed for 60 seconds - use arrow keys as normal for forward navigation. Easily re-configured to run Applications instead of Slides. Just supply a representative thumbnail for the Application. DG

Gary, It was simple question regarding quality of THIS video and nothing to do with your continuing beef about upload sizes. You indicated the the EXE was too large to upload so you uploaded a smaller MP4. So if the MP4 was smaller (in Mb) than the EXE was there a significant drop in quality from EXE to MP4 and what was the reason for it? Quality wise - it didn't look too bad. DG

In your opinion, is there a quality disadvantage and if so can you explain in detail? DG

Nikon Rumours hints that Nik Vivesa style Control Points may be returning to NX-D. The evidence they use is on page 53 of the Brochure for the new Z6/7 Mirrorless Cameras. https://nikonrumors.com/2018/08/29/color-control-points-coming-in-the-next-update-of-nikon-capture-nx-d.aspx/ https://cdn-4.nikon-cdn.com/e/Q5NM96RZZo-RRZZFeeMiveET0gVQ--AxJI7g-xcLVNVcp7mdwZQz5w==/Misc/Z7_Z6_Brochure.pdf DG

I think user styles was a default empty category??

In my experience, when you delete the last style in a category, the category disappears. You can only have a category which contains at least one style. DG

You might also find that as you accumulate more and more Styles be they downloaded or created by yourself, that the Styles dialogue takes longer to load. By Exporting Categories you can delete them locally and only have them loaded as and when required. For instance, unless you are creating Wedding Projects on a daily basis why have Wedding Styles permanently loaded? The fewer the Categories, the faster the Styles Dialogue loads. DG

You cannot save to one of PTE's Default Categories, just as you cannot edit a Default Style. I think that using a UNIQUE Category Name is probably the answer to a lot of problems. In your case BERT. It is highly unlikely that I would name a category on my PTE "Bert" so anything which you publish and I download would go to a Unique Category called BERT. DG

Judy, Your "problem" is different to Bert's problem. Part of your problem could be solved by Author's of Styles NOT using existing default USER STYLES or generic titles like "Tutorials" but using something which would be unique on another user's PC like, in your case, the Category "JUDYKAY", or in my case the Category DaveGee. Barry has asked for Sub Categories in the Styles Window and I think that it would also help. Another thing, do you automatically EXPORT your Styles and Categories when they are "finalised"? Having an Exported Copy of a Style pretty much ensures that you "SHOULD" not get the problem that you seem to have. It is a bit like creating a Template from every project that you complete (not a BIZ) - it (the Template) is then available from the drop-down Templates Menu in the Files Menu at a moments notice no matter how old it is or how many there are. DG

Right click on the Style and "Change Style Category". DG P.S. In the OH see Change/Move/Create Style Categories.

J-C, I understand. Maybe someone could post a screen shot with details of their monitor? DG

A few examples of how Basic Automated Animation can be achieved with a single KF using Modifiers. Analysis of the result of applying the Style will show the method. A Ping Pong Modifier is applied to each of the Styles in the Framing S Parameter to achieve the Zoom Effect. The amount of Zoom is governed by the Amplitude of the Ping Pong Effect. 100 = 200% Zoom. The "100L" version has a Linear Animation Speed. All others have a Smooth (40%) Animation Speed. Not as versatile as a 2 KF Zoom but might suit someone who just wants an Automated Zoom Style. It also demonstrates another, more conventional, use for Modifiers. ZOOM - ONE KF - 100L.ptestyle ZOOM - ONE KF - 25S.ptestyle ZOOM - ONE KF - 50S.ptestyle ZOOM - ONE KF - 100S.ptestyle DG

J-C, This was made before 9.0.19? I reported some pixel inaccuracies which Igor fixed in 9.0.19. Could the error have come from that? I noticed them a while ago when doing my Curling Page CT. https://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/topic/19855-picturestoexe-9-v9019/?do=findComment&comment=137103 DG

A different Scrolling Text approach - adjust to suit your Text. Add or delete Text Frames as required. Scrolling Text 2.ptestyle DG

If you read further down it explains (?) that the Animation Speed curves are based on Splines Theory. Now if you really want to know.......... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spline_(mathematics) DG

Barry, Maybe this would be suitable for conventional AV or for a beginner who just wants an Auto Zoom effect. It Zooms into an Image without the need for a second KF. ZOOM - ONE KF.ptestyle ZOOM - ONE KF - 25.ptestyle ZOOM - ONE KF - 50.ptestyle ZOOM - ONE KF - 100.ptestyle DG

Do you REALLY need to know? What is important is that you know the effect of what you are doing. If you search for posts on ANIMATION SPEED by IGOR you will find that he explained the formulae on which these speeds are based when they were introduced at the beginning of V9 . I didn't help me and I rapidly forgot them, but I know what to expect when I fiddle with the parameters by having experimented with them. Try this Style and play around with the settings for Frame 2 Blue - Second KF.- you will learn more that way. What you should observe is the VERTICAL progress of the Blue Rectangle - its Horizontal Progress is LINEAR. The RED rectangle gives a LINEAR/LINEAR Comparison. Animation Speed 3.ptestyle When you changed the parameter you moved into the "custom" settings - it will stay in the "Custom" settings until you exit and return to the "Smooth" Setting - it is not "Smooth Acceleration" it is just SMOOOOOOOOTH.
