I added blanks slide of short duration before and after the video.
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

Not sure I understand the wrap requirement
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.

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.

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

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

addition of both RENAME TEMPLATE and DELETE TEMPLATE.
Agree that we need Rename as well as Delete Template

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.

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.

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.

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.

Do you have any large videos in these 2 that don't work?
I have one show with a couple of large video files & many other files. When creating a Template it takes a long time and nothing seems to happen.
I thought it had finished, but looking at the Template Folder not all of the files were there, it could be the same for Zip.

Select the Blank, then Click on Slide Options.
In the Main Tab you can select the Slide Name, this is how you rename any SlideJill

I don't know how to set up the laptop to make sure the GPU is used for PTE
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.

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

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'

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.

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.

1920x1080 for a 16:9 ratio

I used the nearest 16:10 and it was it go over Zoom, I went for 1728x1117
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 pictureBy 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 16:10Hope this helps

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.

Can you post a screen grab.
