Like all The Dom's work, this template is wonderfull.

Thank you all. Problem is solved. Not on the normal way, but he buyed a new apple.

Best wishes for your wife and you.

Hello, Very, very nice! I posted my reply not in the right way. So here again. I think you used the newest beta release to do this wonderfull things. Am I right? I think I do best to wait until the newest beta has become a new release, for me.

Very, very nice! I think you used the new beta version. Am I right? I wait till beta has become a new release. Perhaps you can give a little tutorial how to make this things?

Beautiful! Is this made by pte 5.5 or 5.6 ?

Thank you. He made it that way. But his apple is about 3 years old and he has never updated the operating system. So he thinks the problem is there is less new for his operating system and quicktime.

Thank you. But when he try to update the quicktime, he is reditected to a thirdparty website. There we don't know what choice to make.

Hello, By your help I can create avi-files of my slideshows. I wanted to do this because a friend has an Apple. And Aplle does not run exe-files. Now he has my avi-file. But when he try to run this, quicktime is started and tells him to download addons. Can anyone tell me what he has to download? Thank you.

Thank you for the help. Greetings, Aard

Thank you! It succeeded! The solution was the videocodec. Now I choose for Microsoft MPEG4 codec, 640 x 480, and I have an AVI-file. Perhaps there is a better one, but I can experiment with it. It was me not good clear in the manual. But with your help I have learned. If you have further tips, I should be glad to hear it. Thank you, the power op pte is this forum!

Thank you. But the button is visible. When I take your workflow, there happens nothing else as when I click on the button. There is made an AVI file, then there appears a popupwindow (Create AVI file). The text here is in Dutch, I tried to translate it for you. Here it is: Open your AVI-file in a program that can burn DVD-discs. In case you want to create more AVI-files, open a new PicturesToExe project for every AVI-file. Click on "Close" when you are ready with burning. In case you click on "Close" before burning is ready the AVI-file is deleted prematurely and there is nothing registered.

When I try to make an avi-file, the pte popupwindow asks me to open a program for burning a dvd. But I don't want to burn. I want an avi file on my harddisk. Can anyone tell me the thing I have to do? Now I click on "video", "click in the radiobutton for making avi", "click on make avi". There is a avi file created on my disk. But the popupwindow of pte tells me that when I close that window teh avi file will be discarded. And indeed it is discarded. So my only choice is to make a dvd. When I copy the avi to another location, while the popupwindow is open, I can play that avi on the other location. Then I close the popupwindow. But when I then try to play the avi (the copied avi) I only have sound, no images. Please give me detailed information how to do. Thank you.

Hello Peter, Thank you for your compliments. You are right where you see not the perfect photos. But in the beginning it was only to exercise. Then I liked the endresult and saved it. I think music is the most difficult part of making slideshows or videofilms. Mostly you spent more time to find the music then making the film. But your comment is very welcom. By comment I can learn to make a more perfect slideshow. Greetings, Aard

Hello, You can see my very first exercise with pte. Look here

Hi, Better to be addictive to A-V sequences then other stuff.... And I am enjoying. Greetings, Arendsoog

Thank you. It succeeded! Glad to meet the PTE program and this Forum (where-in you all).

Thank you all! bbdigital brought me to the point. I am a newbie in PTE. So I made some exercise in a folder named testfolder. The result was too good to lose it. So I made a new folder with the name of the project. I copied all the files from testfolder to the new folder. I made an exe file and saw the size was too big. So I resized my images and renamed them to the same names of the originals, removed the originals and copied the new resized images to the folder with the projectname. Then I made a new exe file and saw the size was still too big, 140 MB. bbdigital gave me the hint and I copied the resized images to the testfolder too. I made a new exe file and.....yes, the size was much smaller...21 MB. So far, so good, I am happy and thank you all. One question: how can I get the whole project in the folder with the projectname in a way that I can work from out that folder?

Hello, Thank you all. I am late with my reaction. But I did not receive a warning in my mailbox. So I looked for reactions on the forum and see your replies. I go and see for the tips you give me. You will hear from me.

No, I used the same names. Please see my reply to Linda Evans. By the way, for you and Linda, I saw the checkbox for email notification was empty. Now I have activated that.

I resized the images from the basic originals, then removed the "old originals for pte", then I moved the new (resized) images to the folder as originals for pte. Then I made an exe file, and the size is the same 140 MB. I did not renamed the new images because I don't know if the whole slideshow is damaged then. Sorry for my late reaction, but I expected a messagewarning in my mailbox for every reply on this forum. Because I did not see that in my mailbox I looked at the forum and saw the replies. Thank you all for support. But the problem is still there. Are there other suggestions?

I made a slideshow of 30 slides. One mp3 soundtrack. Two animations. Two titles, one zoom in and zoom out, one scrolling. The total size of the exe file is 140 MB. Others people have much smaller sizes. My original photos were about 5 MB each and 2500 x 2500 pixels. I made new "originals", 1024 x 1024 pixels and about 200 KB each. I made a new exe, but the size is 140 MB again. How can I degrease the size of the exe file?
