[PNG transparency not transferred [SOLVED]]

make sure your .png file is the top layer.

In PTE11 you can simply Drag & Drop to rearrange.
In earlier versions it CTRL+PgUp or CTRL+PgDwn or right click & select Order

blank slide with zero opacity

Rosy, you can't adjust any values on a Blank Slide.

Also if an image has zero opacity the the Black Background would still show.

As Aleina says you need to have a background below the .png file for the transparancy to show.

[Adjust Animation Values for several keyframes at once]

I have just tried this in a new test project on my Laptop & it worked fine.
For some reason I couldn't get it to work last night on my Desktop, most likely I was doing some wrong!

Will try again next time I am on my Desktop.

Thanks

[Adjust Animation Values for several keyframes at once]

It's already possible since version 9.0.

I thought I remembered that it was, but when I tried it only one keyframe was adjusted when I changed the value.

Will have another go in a test project.

[Adjust Animation Values for several keyframes at once]

It would save a lot of time if we could adjust values for several keyframes at once.

E.G.  I have set up some animation on an Object, but then decide I want to move it's postion on screen

If we could select all the keyframes and adjust the values for say x & y Pan or x & y Zoom all in one go it would be so much easier.
I know I could move the Object to be a child of a Frame & then adjust the Frame, but when it is just one Object within the Frame it seems a waste.

I recently had the same 2 Objects on several Slides (Text and a rectangle) & it took a long time having to adjust each Keyframe seperately on every Slide making sure I got the values correct.

Jill, can you also check this Beta?

Looks Ok now Igor.

I enter 30 & it stays at 30

[Problem opening .exe file]

I think it is only exe shows that were made with PTE 10 or 10.5 that can be viewed on a Mac

The fact that the message says it is out of date suggests it was made with an earlier version.

Or the show could have had a Time Limit put on it and it has now expired.

Check with the sender

[Colour Picker [SOLVED]]

Thanks Igor, I will have a look to see if I can find that.

I have an old version of Photoshop - CS4 - which doesn't scale the drop down Menus & I may have increased it when I installed that as I couldn't read them.
Will check when I am next on my desktop.

[Unlink X and Y doesn't seem to have any effect]

If on the Zoom parameters you have unchecked the link button, then changing the X or y values will just change that parameter.

If you want to do it by dragging the edges of the image, then hold down the shift key while dragging.

It does work and is very easy.

Do you observe this issue in both versions 10.5 and 11.0 Beta?

Igor, the problem occurs in both 10 & 10.5 as well as 11.
Not sure why I haven't noticed it before, also the boxes for Values are not wide enough - see screen grab from 10.5 below

I also tried PTE 9 & it occurs there, but PTE8 displays correctly

I reset the Display size to 100% & rebooted to make sure it had taken effect.
But the problem still occurred at 100%

I do not see the second box.

Hi Nelson,

The 2nd box doesn't show on the Text Colour Picker, only on Rectangle. Shadow & Border

[Colour Picker [SOLVED]]

PS  I have my Desktop Display set to 125% which may be causing the problem, but I have not noticed it before.

I have just tried this on my Laptop, setting that to 125% and it displays correctly with plenty of space around the buttons.

[Add option to loop video in Objects and Animation]

Thanks Tom, you can also do it in DaVinci Resolve, which is Free, but a massive learning curve.

I only use it occassionally as I find it so much easier to do most of my video editing in PTE.

Jill

[Add option to loop video in Objects and Animation]

Also if possible an option to play the video Backwards would be very useful

Jill

[Colour Picker [SOLVED]]

On the Colour Picker, the OK & Cancel Buttons are partly covering the Hex and Opacity Values

[Shadow on Text Animation - Beta 8 [SOLVED]]

I have tried to apply an 'Inverted Cone' Shadow on Text Animation & it is not displaying correctly.
It has 'bars' around each letter - see screen grab

I wanted to make the Text stand out against a light background

Using 'Cone' seems to work OK & I can always add a coloured 'Rectangle' instead, so not really a problem if this isn't meant to work.

the Open file window offers the second filter: "All files".

yes it does offer the option, but when we have 70 or 90 entries in a competition and most of them are video format, there are a lot of extra clicks to show 'All Files'

Or if you could include all video File types along with exe files then that would be better.

We can get MP4, Mov, Avi, wmv, MPv file types as not all are made with PTE as some people use video editing programs

[Add option to loop video in Objects and Animation]

you can very easily Loop a Slide, Slide Options Main Tab.

So just make your slide the length of the video & then it will Loop until you move on to the next Slide.

Jill

[Two screens]

It depends how you work.

If you only ever have one program open at once, then there is no benifit in haveing 2 monitors.

But if you usually have several programs open then 2 screens is a real plus.

I have used 2 for years now & find it difficult if I have to work with just one.

With PTE it is very useful for expanding the O&A screen across both to get a larger timeline view.

Jill

[Rotating Text from – from small to large advice]

No need for the Text to be a png, just use Text objects.

If they need to be separate Objects then put them in a Frame & move the Frame

Use the Rotate and Zoom in the Animation tab to get the effect you want.

Hope this helps

[A little problem with missing files [SOLVED]]

Can you make action on mouse click also show all files please.

For competitions we get so many mp4 files now that it is a lot of extra clicks when setting up a Menu.
