You should update to 7.5.10 (It's free) Regards, Xaver

That's a good choice, the correct way to reduce shimmering! Regards, Xaver

The dpi value is by no means important here. It is just a kind of meta-data that is sometimes used by printers. Monitors and and projectors do not care for dpi (see here) Regards, Xaver

Please take my post as it is, and do not interpret additional information into it. Regards, Xaver

Ctrl + F11 and Ctrl + F12 Regards, Xaver

I don't think that this is correct. In the linear situation (IMO) PTE always behaves as if all keypoints were separated, even if some of them are glued. So, I also do not understand the present default settings. On the other hand we might not expect too much. As Igor has pointed out here, the O&A interface will be changed, in particular the rather outdated concept of speed options. Regards, Xaver

Hi Paul, I would not regard your proposals as basic. Anyway, it is some time ago (see here) that I made a suggestion about speaker support. Let's hope that a feature of that kind will be implemented, sooner or later. A remark on color management: At present time you must work out you color management yourself. Open a PTE project, export (copy) it to a new folder. Use XnView (or some other software) for a batch conversion in order to change the color profile of the copied images appropriately (without changing the image names). You obtain an additional version of your project that delivers an executable with a predefined color profile. Again, it would be fine to have a support within the PTE software. Regards, Xaver

+ 1 This is really a very good suggestion! Regards, Xaver

A simple workaround, maybe not what you want to do: Put copies (not your "originals") of the images that you want to show into a single folder. This is good anyway: If you place the project file of your show into the same folder, PTE will always find the images at later times, even if you have moved the originals. Open this folder in some freeware like XnView (French image viewer), and perform an appropriate batch renaming, e.g. adding running numbers at the beginning of the image names. As sorting criteria choose "Exif Date". The renamed images can easily be placed into PTE showing the order that you want to see. Regards, Xaver

Hi Daniel, The number of people who attend that kind of AV festivals is rather small. Let me guess that there are in Germany about 500 (including a handful of PTE users), in UK and France perhaps somewhat more. So this group cannot represent the overall market situation. Best regards, Xaver

This does not look good, sorry. Did you choose the option "Auto recovery"? Autosave is not a good function (IMO) as it overwrites the same project file again and again. I would prefer my own new versions (any few (30) minutes) while keeping the old ones. Regards, Xaver

Thanks, Lin! This is really an impressive effect! Best regards, Xaver

This is my view of this YouTube video: Regards, Xaver

Thas topic had been posted to the forum section with the name "Forum". There, general questions on the forum itself can be discussed, e.g. introduction of a new moderator, are the present forum rules helpful or not etc. This topic here refers to the PTE program itself. Therefore I moved it to the sub-forum "PicturesToExe", the place where it is located now. This is a very normal procedure. This is obvious the see, the forum section "PicturesToExe" Regards, Xaver

I have moved this topic. Regards, Xaver

I may wish you the best! Regards, Xaver

Why not? A good idea! Regards, Xaver

I think that we should have a look at the way PTE normally behaves in situations like the one described here. I just made a simple test with v.7.5.10. The result was as I have known since ever: I opened PTE and inserted an image and an audio clip, both in a common folder on my HD. I saved the project (pte-file) somewhere on my HD. I moved the pte-file into a folder on some external memory. I opened the project from the external location: Everything is OK. My status bar tell me that PTE uses the media from their original location. I changed a folder name along the path to the folder containing the image and the audio clip: PTE now complains not to find the media I copied the image and the clip to the folder on the external memory containing the pte-file: Everything is OK. PTE now uses the copied media from the external memory. I close the pte-file without saving it, and I fix the path to the original media: If I re-open the project on the external memory, PTE again uses the original media on my HD, not the ones on the external memory. The last observation is sometimes a bit awkward. If you copy a complete project folder (project file plus media) somewhere else, you have to outsmart PTE not to use the original media but the local ones in the copied folder. Regards, Xaver

What about the section on Video Output? Regards, Xaver

You cannot be sure, you always should have a look at the TV's manual, and see which Video and Audio Codecs, and which Container Formats are to be chosen. Regards, Xaver

Today, the server seems to rather slow, and Firefox could not find it several times. Regards, Xaver

Perhaps not a good advice! So, PTE is just an ordinary application that runs in a window. Why should PTE work in any case with sRGB images even in cases where the output color profile is different from sRBG Regards, Xaver

The problem with this poll is that there are two questions that have been mixed together, and which should be answered independently. 1. Which color space do you use with PTE? 2. Does this space coincide with the one of your monitor? Regards, Xaver

There isn't just one color space RGB. There are many of them, see Wikipedia: The RGB color model itself does not define what is meant by red, green, and blue colorimetrically, and so the results of mixing them are not specified as absolute, but relative to the primary colors. When the exact chromaticities of the red, green, and blue primaries are defined, the color model then becomes an absolute color space, such as sRGB or Adobe RGB; see RGB color spaces for more details.
