Possibly, but I suggested this a LONG time ago when most were only using dissolve anyway. ☺ Today, it should work with any transition where the new options in CTs and "Splitter" are enabled. I have converted most of mine. However, with my TV, I don't need it. DG

The Media Players on both my Sony BR Player and Sony TV play full HD without issue. I have checked my TV options for the Media Player and cannot find any reference to anything about it. If this is something that you need to do regularly for your own viewing then a workaround which I posted a few years ago goes like this: Use a transparent 1920x1080 png file as the Main Image on all slides - create a slide and copy and paste as many times as required - add all further images etc to the main image as "children" on each slide. Before making the MP4 turn the "% of Main Image....." control to the correct value for your TV ( trial and error). DG Perhaps Jeff could explain: Then I remembered about the "Show Safe TV Zone" check box and , ticking this, could see the amount of image lost. Did this cure the problem?

That is ok. It is a different layout to v8. DG

Does this help? https://docs.picturestoexe.com/en-us/9.0/how_to_v9/mask?s[]=mask DG

Here's an example. Add an image to a 16x9 Project - ANY AR IMAGE - apply the Style. The result should be a 2:3 Image in a 16x9 Slide. Take the resulting slide into O&A and adjust composition using Framing Controls in the Animation Tab. Note the setting of Aspect Ratio in the Properties Tab. To change the Image go to Properties Tab/Picture and choose another image (try a different AR). Adjust composition using Framing Controls in the A Tab. Note the size of the Style and compare with the size of a Template to do the same thing. The Template would contain the Images used. The Style does not. Example 01.ptestyle DG

If you use the right combinations of Fit/Cover, Aspect Ratio Crop, Image Crop, and Border (if required) then you can pretty much replace any image with any other image in the Properties Tab. You might need to adjust Framing and Zoom (Animation Tab) to compensate for AR mismatches. Styles are more suited to this (IMO). I have always used Templates for setting Preferences and Project Options in a Blank Project or for instant access to an old project. Others will tell their own story. DG

Off topic? If it were in a different Topic I would like to add my comments. DG

ADJUST TIME RANGE gives you a second (and third) chance to get it right by dragging. However, it will upset your video clip duration/slide duration if you dragged the video clip into the slide list originally. DG

Just working on a Transition - clicked on Manage Transitions - Change Transition Settings. Repeatable. I have sent a BIZ.

Igor, When I am opening and closing the CT Editor or the Styles Dialogue regularly I frequently get error messages. I thought perhaps they were unique to me, but I get them on both my W10 Laptop and my W7 Desktop. Usually they are NOT repeatable so I don't report them. I cannot repeat this one. I have always assumed that the CT Editor and/or the Styles Dialogue are the problem (not minimising PTE). DG

Thanks J-C. and a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to you. DG

There are no "foolish" questions. There have been some foolish answers - for various reasons. Merry Xmas to all. DG

You can change a Video File in the same way as you would change a still image but Timing can become a problem depending on how you added the original Video Clip. DG

PTE had been minimised for a couple of hours. I opened it up and dragged the "Cursor" of the Mini Player and got this. DG P.S. All transitions stopped working and although correctly set (Shapes) reverted to a Quick Transition. I had been working on a Custom Transition before minimising PTE but had finished editing.

Maybe I didn't make it clear enough. I inserted your video into a PTE project in both cases and got a Smooth Result. The nVidia Card is my Default for all programmes. I mentioned above that when the other adaptor was for some reason chosen because of an update or a glitch, my Transitions started to go haywire. Making the nVidia the Default again cured the problem. Igor's suggestion of starting the programme by right cicking on the PTE Icon on the Desktop allows you to ensure that the default nVidia Card will be used if you are unsure. No, I did not try the video on my other card. As I said, I know that it causes problems. DG

I have tried that clip on both my Laptop (which has the better card) and my Desktop and see no lack of smoothness. DEFINITELY no Stop/Start in either case. GTX 950 on the Laptop and GTX 545 on the Desktop (with less memory - 3GB).

Post a link to a short (converted) clip which, when inserted into a simple PTE project, does not play smoothly? DG

What resolution is the video in the project? If it is 1080p have you tried reducing it to 720p and running it at less than full screen (as a trial)? DG

Previous post reminded me of another problem that I have experienced with a less powerful card. If Photoshop was running it was "hogging" memory and affecting the smooth running of PTE. DG

I had a similar problem (with transitions) yesterday and found that my nVidia Control Panel settings had changed. I can only think that a recent Windows or nVidia update might be the culprit. Changed back to the nVidia card and all was well. Since everyone's video settings can be different (even after converting) then it is not easy to compare without knowing your conversion settings. I always use the default. DG
