Files used are marked in Bold.
This only applies to those added directly to the Slide List.
Those added via O&A do not show the Bold tag.Jill

Move your files, then next time you open your project is will say there are missing files.
Click on locate missing files & navigate to the new folder.
If all the files were originally in the same folder & are now in the folder PTE will find them all in one go.
If the originals were in different foilders then you may have to locate more than one.Try it first by just moving a few if you wish.
You need to be using PTE 9 or 10 for this to work.
This works for Windows, I asume it is also present in the Mac version.

Making all of your slides the same duration becomes extremely boring and predictable to watch. Unless of course you are presenting them as individual single images and not as a whole AV playing in time to the music.
It is a standard windows function to Ctrl+A to select all slides, then you can deselect the ones you don't want by Ctrl click on them. Or click on the first then shift click on the last to just select a section.
For audio on a video to completely mute it do that in O&A. To adjust the volume right click on the video in timeline and select seperate audio. Then use keyframes on the volume line to adjust.
The status bar will show the filename so you can see if jpg or MP4 etc. You may need to turn that on in preferences.
PTE really is easy to use and very powerful. The fact that the user has to do things rather it being all automatic is what gives it the flexibity.

Mark, you can do it all in PTE
Make the ones you want to last as a Master video on the first slide.
Then add the same video to subsequent slides but make it a Linked video.
See properties tab for the video in O&A.
If the video is shorter than the total length of the slide show, then just make it a master video again when it's duration runs out.
This is what I did to the clouds in the 'Suddenly' AV we showed last Friday.

you only get the volume line in the Pro version of PTE.
Make sure you are using that - Check Help/About to see your version

type the letter PTE

read it through yourself twice slowly
That should then be long enough for someone seeing it for the first time to read it.
Make sure you use a ledigible font, for some of the more Script type fonts it is better to leave it on slightly longer especially if over an image

Just move the slide to where you want the video to end"
This is the slide following the video.
In Timeline view the length (duration) of a Slide is determined by where the following slide starts
If your video is say 30 secs long & you only want the first 10 secs, then position the following slide (or video) at 10secs - Simple

I gave you 3 different ways to trim a video depending on what you want.
The quickest & easiest is in the Timeline
As I said above, you don't need to trim the end - just move the following slide to the point you want the video to end.
Very quick & easy.

Igor, many thanks for your offer of help.
Please see email with Link to MP4

Having done some more tests it appears to be happening with MP4 files created with M.Objects software.
We are currently receiving entries for a competition & these are the ones causing the problems.
VLC have come back to say no one else has of yet reported a problem & wanted to know what the Codec was.
We have replied that it does appear to be related to M.Objects.MP4's made with PTE both Windows & Mac versions play OK

It appears that there is a problem with the latest VLC Player 3.0.11
MP4 files play perfectly in an earlier version 3.0.8, but the sound breaks up when playing in the latest version.
The same MP4 file will play OK in Windows Media Player & in PTE.
We have emailed VLC about this problem.
Best not to update yet if you have an earlier version.

We use both exe & MP4 & don't have any problems.
We have run many online AV events.Make sure you tick the box to 'allow computer sound' and 'optimise full screen video'
It could be that your mic is picking up the sound, rather than it coming directly from your computer.
This would cause a delay.Jill

Thank you Igor, thanks for all of your efforts in producing the Mac version and all your work on PTE.
Best wishes to all at WnSoft. Stay safe and take some time off.

Try uninstalling and then reinstall PTE. I have never had a problem with moving slides.
Jill

To remove several slides in one go click on the first, then shift click on the last. Drag the group back up to file list or hit delete

with alignment left & Centre of Text at -100 the Text should stay where you place it & grow to the right.
It does when I use this method for aligningtext in a Menu slide.

Use VLC Player - it is free & can save a screengrab from the video as a jpg.
The 'hardest' part is making sure you pause the video at the correct place to capture what you want.
It will capture at the video resolution.But also very easy in PTE, run it in fullscreen, pause playback at the point you want & if using Windows 10 just hit Windows Key +Shift+S
You can then grab the whole screen, or part of it & then save to your chosen folder.
No need for extra software.
But you do need the screen resolution you are playing back on to be high

you can just save the shortened project with a different name and publish that.
you can then open the original project & continue working.

delete the last 5 & save as a new project

Make sure that you (he) ticks Share computer Sound and Optimise for Fullscreen Video to get it to run smoothly.
Also make sure that everyone is muted otherwise the sound from the AV will distort.

If you are using Windows 10, when the warning comes up click More then click run anyway.
The next time you run it you won't get the warning.

once the sound clips are linked to a slide, they will be copied when you copy the slide to a new project.
To export all of the sound to a file, in Timeline click on the 3 bars with the drop down arrow, above the timeline & select Export soundtrack

Copy and paste keyframes from one layer to another
in Suggestions for Next Versions
Posted
Maybe I am misunderstanding your requests, but if you Clone a keyframe it copies all the settings.
To copy a layer - Object - to another slide is easy, right click copy then move to the slide you want & paste.
If you then change the file in the properties tab all of the setting will be transferred to the new object.
PTE is very easy once you get used to it
