Which icons? Can you post a screen grab. What is your monitor resolution. Which version of PTE. Jill

If the video has been produced as an AV then it will most likely have a black at start & end anyway, so no need to add extra. Most AV's (for competitions & shows) are now published as MP4's rather than exe. No problem at all for Windows, but with Mac you need to convert them to run from a Menu. Jill

Mike, Open PTE & add the MP4 to a new Project. Publish as a pteavshow It will then run from your Menu. Let me know if you need any more help & can always go through it after a WAVG meeting. Jill

He means a Menu Jill

Mike, a Menu can run any file type, at least on Windows. With Mac's I believe you can't open another Program from within a running one. You can make a ptavshow instead of an exe. If you have Mp4s then you need to embed that within a ptavshow file. Jill

You must have an awful lot of Slides in the project if you can't simply look along the SlideView to see it. One way is in O&A add an Object - say a Frame to any Slide Then in Properties Tab - Add Action on Mouse Click as 'Go To Slide With Name' Click the down arrow in the box below and it will show you a list of all the Slide Names. Assuming you have changed them & they are still the Filename, then you can see which Slide is the File you want. Or open the PTE file in either Notepad or Excel. Then do a Find for the Filename you are looking for. You can then see the Slide number. Hope this helps Jill

The simplest option is to temporarily rename the original Folder - in Windows Explorer. When you open the show it will come up with Image Not Found message. Click Find File & navigate to your new Folder. It should find all the files in one go - Check for a Green Tick against all files. Save the Project - Save As - to the new Folder Then you can Rename your original Folder back to what it was. Hope this helps Jill

Agree that we need Rename as well as Delete Template Jill

You can change the name by going to Windows Explorer & rename the .PT Folder. It shows in the List of Templates with the new name - However it will not Open within PTE. So I think the only way is to open the existing Template, Create a new Template from that with the name you want & then Delete the existing .PT Folder using Explorer. Not that difficult to do. Jill

Unfortunately I only speak French... Merci Igor pour ce merveilleux logiciel... I would like to know if it is possible to enlarge the soundtrack (magnifying glass effect for example) to better see the sound waves... Please use Google Translate or similar to post in English Use the + and - at the bottom right of Timeline to expand Horizontally CTRL+Shift+Mouse Wheel to expand Vertically Jill

You need to set to Photoshop in Settings/Preferences/System/Set Graphical Editor What you are doing in Slide Options is calling Photoshop from that Slide when running the Published exe file. Jill

Hi Brian, most laptops should play AV's OK. I have always had Acer laptops & they have proved reliable, but I have gone for a higher spec graphics & RAM. If showing MP4's (made on your Desktop) then the graphics spec is less important, and most should be fine. Also for viewing Zoom sessions, the internet speed is more critical. Not sure of the needs for Photoshop as I very rarely use it & only have an old version anyway. Do you have a local Computer shop that sell laptops? You could always put some AV's on a pen drive & take it along to see how they play. I have done that in the past. Good luck finding something. Jill

snap, has been bad for months. Also keeping busy judging AV Competitions. Jill

I was just about to type that - you beat me to it Dave ! Jill

Also see the Online Help files https://docs.pteavstudio.com/ You can easily resize images by going into Objects & Animation (O&A) and when an Object is selected you will see the Grab Handles around it. Simply drag these with your mouse to resize as needed. If you have several images all the same size then you can use the Quick Slide Style. Do the first Manually, then 'Create Quick Style', Select all the other images & 'Apply Quick Style' and they will be resized accordingly. PTE is a great program, very easy to get started but extremely powerful allowing you to do anything you can imagine. Jill
