Mur, I clicked on SSC and I was not signed in so I used my normal PTE User Name and password and it worked OK. So I don't think that there is anything wrong with SSC. If Igor changed your User Name / Password try both the old and new passwords. Another possibility - try the forgotten Password procedure? DG

Lin, Standard Windows Unzip/Extract handles this ZIP. DG

Mur, Regarding your first point. If the cursor is in one of the pan boxes then you are adjusting in increments of 1%. If you click on the image/object (I do not think that you need to move it) then a single click on one of the four arrows will move the image/object the equivalent of 1 pixel (in percentage terms). The percentage value will change according to the Aspect Ratio chosen. If you observe both the POSITION and the PAN boxes you will see what I mean. Another thing to try (and compare): for a 4:3 project try using 1600x1200 resolution compared to any other resolution you wish to choose and compare what you see in the POSITION and PAN boxes when using the arrow keys. The OPTIMUM** resolution for a 4:3 project is (I think) 1600x1200 With Regard To using the arrow keys for positioning. Example: In a 4:3 1600x1200 Project, 1 pixel in the Position Box = 0.125% in the Pan Box (Horizontal Axis). In a 4:3 1600x1200 Project, 1% in the Pan Box = 8 Pixels in the Position Box (Horizontal Axis) The OPTIMUM for 16:9 is 1920x1080. The OPTIMUM for 3:2 is 1800x1200. OPTIMUM** - when 1 click of the Arrow Key = 1 Pixel in the POSITION box.

Mick, W7 but they all sound different - level wise. DG

Objects and Animation / Properties (of the TEXT). Rasterize Text to PNG Image. You can do this in Photoshop or similar. It is not animated. DG P.S. You can add your video clip to a PTE Project and create the Animated text over it, then save that as another video clip. Does that help?

Updated the "Hotkey" and "Slide List View" to include methods of selection and adding Files (Images) to the Project (Slide List). DG

Igor, It would probably take up some of your time adjusting and getting it to work. Why not leave that until after Version 9 is published?? DG

....and taking that to its logical conclusion.... Pr4_Sep19-2015_10-00-27.zip DG

Denis, Just playing around - no frames and no Keyframes. Project3_Sep19-2015_8-45-14.zip DG

Thanks for your Kind words. I now look forward to your next (or should that be FIRST) Contribution to this forum. All that I have seen from you so far in your many roles and alter egos is criticism without examples. I don't suppose that will change any time soon. I might put a warning on anything I post in future to the effect that it (whatever it might be) is not for the Ultra Advanced workers such as yourself. Best wishes, DG

This one has Blur on the image (65%). Zoom6Slideswith2TransBlur.ptestyle This series has been "developed" by applying a Style, making some adjustments and then Saving again as a different name. DG

Nice, Denis. DG

I think that we will probably have to agree to disagree over the flexibility point It depends how your tailor you master Style for any particular project. However, I will agree that what would improve the application of Styles (Batching) would be a degree of "additive" behaviour. I think that is could be possible, but as usual the folk round here will want more, more, more. DG

You can. For Batch - read Style. Make your adjustments on a single slide. Save it as a Temporary Style. Apply the Style to the rest of the "batch". DG

"a Style which will animate an Image over several slides" (with or without Transitions)..... ....it does what it says on the tin..... ...... it animates a background image over several slides and allows for foreground objects to be added (and Animated) in individual slides. Can we not each have different ways of acheiving the same goal? We don't have to make calculations using Exel etc etc etc.....PTE will provide the necessary calculations. We have to apply them, until Igor provides this feature and I, for two, would welcome it. In the meantime I just enjoy a challenge. The Video approach would also, I am sure, work equally well, but I have my usual reservations about quality and file size. DG

Do you mean like this: Animated Cube.ptestyle Add 6 16:9 images to Slide List and apply the Style. It is based on your Experimental Cube Style and the original Style contains some errors which I think are producing some "edge effects". I just added the Masks and images. DG P.S. Edge errors corrected - Please download again

You two are going to get on like a house on fire!! DG

Here's a Style which shows that it is possible to create a Style which will animate an Image over several slides. Add a single image to the Slide List and Apply the Style. You can vary the slide duration of the GROUP of slides but not indivdual slides in the group because the rate of zoom will then change. Zoom6Slides.ptestyle More info on Slide styles: http://docs.picturestoexe.com/en/slide-styles/main DG P.S. Here is the same Style with Transitions. Zoom6Slideswith2Trans.ptestyle DG

John, Here's a STYLE that demonstrates something along the lines that you describe. ZoomBG.ptestyle The Main Image is used as a Background image and is Blurred and converted to B+W. Add as many images to the slide list as required - highlight them all and apply the Style. All parameters are fully adjustable in Objects and Animation. You can make changes to the slide in Objects and Animation and resave as a different style. There is some further info on Styles here: http://docs.picturestoexe.com/en/slide-styles/main Warning: Using something like this on ALL slides in a presentation is not advisable. DG

Extremely interesting new Firmware Update for the Olympus OMD-EM1: http://www.olympus-global.com/en/news/2015b/nr150915omde.jsp DG

New firmware announced 15/09/2015: http://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/index.html DG

Publish as mp4 and "Add photo or video" from your hdd. Be patient - it takes a while:) I "think" that's how I did it? DG

Ffoto, The latest version of PTE is 8.0.17. Have you tried that?? http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?/topic/17226-picturestoexe-8/ DG

If you place one or both on a "Cardinal Point" it sticks and will move with a change of Slide Duration. If they are not on "Cardinal Points" then the behaviour is different. The behaviour is not related to the setting of "Scale key frames in objects (on time change)". DG

OK - I understand now. DG
