  1. Select the Blank, then Click on Slide Options. In the Main Tab you can select the Slide Name, this is how you rename any Slide Jill
  2. Right Click the Desktop & select Nvidia Control Panel. Select Manage 3D Settings from the Menu on the Left then the Program Settings Tab Under Select a program to Customise - Navigate to your Program Files & find PTE AV Studio exe & click Add Then under Select the Preferred Graphics processor make sure it is High Performance Nvidia. I have also set pte viewer to use the Nvidia as well. If you have different versions of PTE on your Laptop make sure you do it for each Version. Jill
  3. I see you have 'Hide Selection on Pan/Zoom/Rotate' ticked Try to untick this. Your text box has the green rectangle but no grab handles in the corners Jill
  4. Make sure that the Text Object is highlighted in the Object Panel. Click on the Text Object. It may be that you have another Object that is in front of it, so it doesn't allow you to move it. Click on Tools and then 'Ignore Objects not selected' Jill
  5. Have you set up your new laptop to make sure it is using the Nvidia card for PTE. Also are you running on mains power not battery. I have an Acer laptop & I find that even though it is set to always use the Nvidia for PTE it will revert to the Intel chip when running on battery. So I have to plug it in when I want to publish an MP4 for instance. I haven't found any problems with using video within PTE, although when using small sections from a 90 minute video in several places it did stutter a little sometimes in preview. Jill
  6. No, you need to set up Text Animation individually. You can however set it up for the first Text Object & then Copy & Paste that Object to all the other Slides that you need & just change the Text. But depending on the Animation, you may find you need different timings depending on the length of Text. Jill
  7. 1920x1080 for a 16:9 ratio Jill
  8. Mark, on my 1920x1080 display there were grey bars at each side - due to the fact that you were sending a 16:10 ratio image & I was receiving it & displaying on a 16:9. Some AV's were losing part of the image, text was displaying outside the frame or missing part of it. Some seemed to be stretched vertically - had a black band at the top but not the bottom, although the actual image didn't appear stretched. Also when the on screen display flashed up at the start it was showing - display at 90% or words to that effect. So I don't think it was displaying the full picture By using VLC player you shouldn't get any of these problems. However your 16:10 display will always show grey bars at the side on a 16:9 screen. If other people didn't see these it will be because their screen ratio was most likely 16:10 Hope this helps Jill

    Audio

    you need to split the clip (right click & choose Split) at the point you want to repeat & then Duplicate it (right Click) Move the duplicated bit to the point you want. It may be better to move the split part & then extend it so that you keep the original ending & repeat a phrase from earlier. Jill
  10. I think most drives are in NTFS format - at least for Windows. Assume Mac is the same as they can be read on both systems. Just Publish an MP4 at 60p and it should work, but I think some older TV's will only play 30p. Jill
  11. Mark, have you tried using VLC Player instead ? This is the preferred player for MP4 files & is available for both Mac & Windows. You can easily set it to Quit at the end so that it automatically returns to your Menu. It is what I was using all weekend at the Peter Coles Competition. Not sure if the same version will work with both Mac & Crossover if you will need to install both versions . Jill
  12. And all versions can be installed alongside each other, so no need to delete your earlier version. Jill
  13. Mark are you using the latest PTE 11.0.12 I know some faults with Macs were fixed in this. Jill
  14. they will all stay between versions Jill
  15. Are the shows with the Video Clips Exe or MP4?? If MP4 what program are you using to play them? VLC player is recommended to avoid problems How big (bytes) are the video clips? Spec of your computer - memory etc Jill
  16. You can easily move a KeyFrame, just click on it - so it turns darker blue - and drag it along the Timeline. You will also need to move the KeyFrames for all of the Objects within the Frame by the same amount. Jill
  17. did you copy & paste the Key? If you typed it make sure you are not mixing up 'o' & 0 (zero) or 'i' & 1 Jill

    Display

    I had a similar problem when I had to replace a display. It was my second display which stopped working. Installing a new one I found that transitions were no longer smooth. Making the new display number 1 cured the problem. Both were the same make, but the new one was a later model. Jill

    Display

    Are both Displays the same resolution? Shouldn't make any difference, but just wondering if maybe you have a very large image/video at the point it is going out of sync & the computer is taking slightly longer to render that. Otherwise no idea what could cause it. Hope you can solve the problem. Jill
  20. I think I have only used it once and automatically went to the audio tab of Project Options to look for it. But I agree with Igor that it is not something you need frequently, so preferences/timeline is the next most logical place. Jill
  21. Hi Tony, Don't know about Mac's but on a PC sometimes the .lock file gets left if PTE closes unexpectedly. If the .lock file is present, then delete it & see what happens. It cures the problem on Windows, so may also do on a Mac Jill
  22. If you are just making an image fade in & out then no need to use modifiers. Just have 2 keyframes - 1st at zero opacity & the 2nd at 100% opacity. To get a smooth, slow fade then space them well apart. Do the same for the fade out. Jill
  23. To be able to check for duplicates would be very useful, especially if it could show the path names for the duplicates as well as the Slide they are on. I never use Backup up Zip, always Template. Jill
  24. Thanks Igor, This will be very useful. Will it also do the same for a Template? If at all possible it would be helpful if PTE could indicate which files are duplicates. Having to search through a long project with many Objects to find a duplicate takes a very long time. Jill
