Go to the "timeline" then set on "Auto spread slides along music". This will cause the slides to be equally distributed along the music track so that music and slides end together. With the image size you are using, MP3 sound file and a 20Mb exe you should have no problems with PTE v5 on your customers system.

Try upgrading to v5 also.

Good idea Primozz, I to would like this function in PTE. Post the suggestion in Ideas and suggestions for next versions.

A BIG thank-you to you both Lin and Jeff for this VERY helpful document.

G'day Michael and welcome to the forum. Even in ZIPed format your shows are likely to be too large for email, (10-80Mg plus for the EXE). The best option is to upload your show to a file hosting site and email the link for downloading to your friends, (also let us know here if you wish to share your work). One I use for this purpose is "MediaFire". It's free for files up to 100Mg, you can put as many files up as you wish for an indefinite time. The link for it is: http://www.mediafire.com/ The best option is to copy the EXE file, (via CD/DVD), to the other computer. The EXE will always be a better quality than a show burnt to DVD.

Roger, try some other MP3 files and/or better yet try a short WAV file to prove the fault to the sound files you are using.

Thanks for the show David, played fine on my setup. Nice "sting in the tail" at the end and nice use of the zoom, also one of my favourite pieces of music.

Stonemason, I also don't have Nero on my system anymore and have had no problems with PTE VB burning DVDs.

G'day Buttons and welcome to the forum. Have you got the latest version of Irfanview? I had this problem until I updated to the latest version. Check you have all the plug-ins loaded also. Check here: http://www.irfanview.com/

G'day Mario welcome to the forum. Yes, I understand it is. In my experience there is a slight improvement in the quality and speed of the burn in PTE Deluxe over Nero and others. It is a lot easier to stay in the same package and do the whole job.

I must agree, Igor take your doctors advice and have a good, relaxed break. You have done a great job on PTE v5 deluxe and it is running just fine. We all wish you well and feel we owe you a lot for the great program you have given us. Your health IS the first priority, the best upgrade you could do for us now is to follow your doctors orders.

Michel as I have said elsewhere, thanks for posting your PTE slideshow on the Strasbourg fireworks. I enjoyed the way you used the music and sound effects to match the images, very creative. Zoom effect was used well also, not overdone as it can be in some shows. We are having the worst national drought since European settlement here in Australia and firework displays have been stopped in most parts of the country for some years. It was good to bring back some nice memories. Thanks again.

I've always wondered what was happening here to, answered NO, shrugged my shoulders and moved on. Glad someone has asked the question. Looking forward to the answer.

G'day Barrie and welcome to the PTE Forum. This can be done simply be ticking the "Permit control of show using keyboard" which can be found under Project Options>Main tab. This will allow you to pause the show for as long as you wish by hitting the space bar, then when you wish the show to resume hit it again and the show/music etc will restart at the point it was paused. The halt can be done during the third image as you wish as many times as you wish and at any point in the show.

Have a look here: http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index....tion+to+Desktop Also if you do a search on "desktop" in the forum you will find a lot of discussion on the loss of this function. Hope this helps.

Ron, nice use of the Panos Photoshop action. Maybe a black leader on the film strip which would then remove the white strip on the right of the screen when the first image stops, or just use a black background but this might remove the effect of the sprocket holes? Also the end of the film is a little abrupt. Perhaps the end title could slide onto the screen the same as the film strip. Images could be a little larger and displayed a little longer. Use zoom in then out on each image when it stops perhaps. Just a few suggestions.

Welcome to the forum Michel and thanks for posting your PTE slideshow on the Strasbourg fireworks. I enjoyed the way you used the music and sound effects to match the images, thanks again.

To the best of my knowledge you need to do this externally. See: http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7014 I use the batch process in Photoshop if I am reducing a large number of images.

Thanks Igor, I have now upgraded to v5.02 and all is O.K.

I've done this for exactly the same reason as you John. Have a look here for "Daisy Chaining" several PTE EXE shows. http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7005

Igor on the next update would it be possible to reflect the minor upgrade number in the title bar of PTE and in Help>About PicturesToExe. I have several versions running sometimes to check functionally and it can be a little confusing as to which is which. Version 4.48 had this. No hurry with this one.

Thanks Lin, as always your work was very well designed, informative and useful.

Welcome to the forum. In my case I've achieved this in Photoshop. Have a look at the tutorial "Create Slideshow" by Oleg Lobacheb and Coral Thomas at Beechbrook Cottage. Download from here:- http://www.beechbrook.com/pte/index.asp?ca...4&view=View It is an excellent demonstration of the technique, (better than I could do), and several others techniques that I'm sure you will find interesting.

Great to see people building custom nav-bars. When done please consider posting them on the Doms site for sharing here: http://www.thedom.fr/share/portal.php As someone else may find them useful.
