I now realise that you are wanting to create a Custom Transition, this wasn't obvious from your post. It is not something I ever do as to me every 2 Slide combination is unique & Transition Duration would not apply to another 2 Slide combination. Jill

You can create Transitions of any length you want. Just make sure that the Slide Duration is longer than the Transition Time. You can set the Default Transition & Slide Duration in Project Options. You can Change it in Slide Options, or by Clicking the Times shown on the actual Slide in SlideList View. But I find the easiest way is in Timeline. Simply drag the Slide to extend/Shorten it's Duration & Drag the Grey Bar above the Slide to adjust the Transition. Jill

I agree this could be very useful when trying to find points in say a speech or Song track. In one very old program I have you can hit the M key while playing the track & it will drop a Marker (Vertical line) at that point. You can then add a Label to that Marker to identify it. This greatly helps when splitting an audio track into sections. Jill

I agree, it would be very helpful to adjust the volume with the keyboard. It is not always easy to get 2 points to have the same volume. Even being able to use the arrow keys would be better. But other sound editing programs I have used are also the same. So maybe it is not an easy task to do this. Jill

Hi Igor, Thanks for the new Beta. However I am still having problems, please see email with a description. Jill

What you are trying to do can be done in PTE & I have been trying to do something similar, but not with a GE video. It doesn't seem to be working as it should at the moment. You need to Tick the Box 'Speed Keyframes' to be able to add them. This then disables the Speed Adjustment box. In previous Beta's (7 & 8) I could add the keyframes at the Start to slow down, or Hold, the video. But as the Green bar does not change in duration to match the new Video time, it was difficult to add the Keyframes at the end in the right place once the Speed had been adjusted. Now in Beta 9 I am really struggling to get the Keyframes at the Start. I can add them, but when moving one to a Zero Speed it seems to move the Start Position of the Video. It would be really helpful if the Green bar could change in length to match the new time. Also if it can be possible to show the Transition In/Out positions as it does in O&A. Jill

Hi Igor, Forum now working again, thanks. Still struggling with the Speed Adjustments! Jill

Hi Mike, You need to use the 3D rotation to adjust it. I have used 3D movements X, Y & Z to correct converging verticals. It may not be as accurate as doing it in something like Photoshop, but with some trial & error you can get it near enough. Jill

Yes adding Motion Blur will greatly increase the time to render. Jill

You can easily do all of this in PTE. Simply start a New Project, edit your clips so that each portion is on a separate Slide. You can then add whatever Transition you need between each one. Publish as an MP4 & then insert that into your final Project. I always use PTE to edit my video clips & find it quick & easy. Jill

I doubt if many people would need this. If I do have a Slide that has Objects which don't appear at the start of the Slide, I simply go into Timeline & drag the Playhead along. I have never found it an issue. I would say leave it as it is. Jill

You just click in the Green bar & add keyframes just as you do when editing sound. Click & then drag it up or down Jill

No, I have never had this either. Is there anything different about the last few Slides? Try saving the Project as a different name, remove the last few Slides & see if that works If it does, then keep adding the Slides back 1 by 1. Not sure what else to suggest. Jill

Are you waiting for Publish to finish before checking? You will get a green Tick when it is done. It can take a while to finish. Also make sure nothing else is running on your computer while you do the Publish. If using a laptop, make sure it is plugged in & not running on battery - it will complete faster when on mains power.

Hi Ian, It is easy, but as it is something I have never changed it took me a while to find it! Settings/preferences/System - at the Top Double Click in Slide List - Click the drop down Arrow & change to what you want Jill
