Gary, if all of your trimmed clips are coming from 1 original, you will not see each clip in the file list. The Trim is done within PTE and not saved. By renaming each Slide, they will have different names withing the Slide View & Timeline View. As I said above, you do not need to drag the end of the Slide, just drag & drop from Filelist to the point you want the next clip to start. If you have a 1.5 hour original clip and you add it multiple times to the Timeline, it will still only be the size of the original file. You then Publish to MP4 and the final output will be much smaller. I think you are making things difficult for yourself by trying to trim & save multiple times. Jill

No need to scroll to the end, just drop the next slide at the point you want, the end is automatically trimmed. If you are trimming the same original video several times then just drag & drop it again. Simply change the Slide Name in Slide Options & the new name will show on that Clip in both Slide & Timeline view. PTE is not a video editing program, but I still find it quick & easy to edit clips in Timeline. Jill

Gary, then why not do a rough trim first to make the video much smaller, then it will be easier to get an accurate trim. I very rarely use the Trim Function anyway and much prefer to work directly in the timeline. With longer clips (but no where near as long as yours) I right click and select 'Trim Beginning of video' to get a rough point, then fine tune it once the video is shorter. When you Trim in Timeline it automatically positions the pointers in O&A 'Adjust Video' function & also sets the start time. You can adjust the time to get exactly the position you want. Jill

just drag the start & end triangles to the position you want. I never look at the Times. Jill

It is when the overlapping file is a shorter duration So your file 09 finishes before the file on track 1. I have just tried it & it does seem to reduce the volume on the overlapping file. Jill

The red shows that the files are overlapping each other. Not sure why the volume would be lower though. Jill

Yes and also the fade IN/Out handles on the Timeline are only in Pro. The Studio Version you can use the Fade IN/Out times in Project Options Audio Tab Jill

No, just select a slide that you want the preview to start from and right click in the mini preview window. Jill

No it is not possible. Everything is on one screen. Jill

what file size are your videos? If they are very large it could affect the smoothness Jill

Is it OK if you use Preview? I have never noticed any difference playing from Slides or Timeline. Jill

It is so easy to move an Object to the desired position with V11 that I cannot see a need for Duplicate. Just Copy & Paste & drag to where you want it. Jill

Looks Spectacular, enjoy

Have a good holiday Igor. Take time to relax and enjoy.

I suppose it depends how you work, I have never found it a problem. But then as I said above I have very few tracks & the sound is mostly continuous on a track with overlaps. If I do have gaps between clips then the next clip is always linked to a Slide so won't move if a clip is added or moved. But I do agree that to be able to move a clip to another track directly in the Timeline would be good. I thought that holding down Shift while dragging was supposed to keep the same time position but I have never managed to get it to work. Jill

you can easily do it in the Audio Tab . Link the Clip to a Slide, then double click the clip to open up Audio tab. Click the clip & drag it to a different track, then unlink from the slide. If there are already clips on that track then make sure you position it after the appropriate clip. I do this often when I am extracting audio from video and I want to keep them all on one track. Jill PS Gary you have a lot of tracks with not much on them, the clips could easily be moved onto the same track. I have very rarely found I need more than 4 or 5 tracks. 1 for voice, 1 for sound effects, 1 or maybe 2 for music, and then 1 if I have extracted audio from video clips. And I have some complex audio mixes

VU meters would be a great addition if possible please Jill

Glad that you have sorted it Jill

separate the audio before you make it a Master Video Track, that way you will get all of the audio & can spread across the multiple slides. Jill

if you publish as an MP4 yes, if you Publish an exe then no JILL

PTE11 handles 4k without problem. You can easily trim videos directly in the Timeline or in O&A, no need to convert anymore Jill

Anything that can be done to a still image can also be done to a video. It is very easy to zoom & rotate at the same time, but unless it is being done for a very specific reason it is just a gimick and most disturbing to watch if all images are doing it. All you need are 2 keyframes and just size/rotate the image as needed on the 2nd keyframe, very easy and quick to do. Jill

Hi Joe99 If you use the numbers then yes it is mathmatical, but you don't need to. I rarely if ever look at the numbers. Just click on the picture in O&A and you will see a yellow bounding box. Just drag the image with the mouse to where you want it to start. Clone the keyframe (Right Click on the blue bar and set it to the position you want to end the effect. Then simply drag the image to how you want it to end. Key Frames are easy but powerful. You have a start position & an end poition, PTE calculates everything in between. Jill

To make a video loop why not open a separate project, drop the video in multiple slides & make a new mp4 slightly longer than the length of the Slide you require. This would be quick & easy to do, no need for any calculations, offsets or anything else. So if you want a 30 sec Slide, just add the video multiple times until you have at least 30 secs, then make an mp4 Jill

you can & always have been able to randomise Transitions. In Project Options, Transitions Tab, if you tick all of teh different Transitions then they will be randomised throughout the sequence. Not what most people want as each 2 Slide combination needs it's own Transition & timing to give the best effect. Also each time it will be different & you can't save the 'randomised' settings. Jill
