  7. How to play avi on an Apple?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    "he is reditected to a thirdparty website."

    post the url of third party website

    generally when one is using QT and you check for updates it will automatically tell you and download what it needed

    so if he is not doing it that way fraid i cant tell you anymore :(

    ken

    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.

    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.

  12. Who can give instructions to make an avi-file?

    arendsoog,

    It appears your trying to make pte avi to video for disc. You need to make a standalone avi file.

    Incase you may not see the Create AVI button ( personal customization can hide it)

    Go To top bar menu File ... click Create Avi File

    This will open the window Making of Create Avi File.

    Click the top radio button ... Create Custom AVI Video File.

    If your new to making avi/videos and what codecs to use... you may way to read up in Pte User Guide (top of

    Tutorials and Articles section of 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.

    Arendsoog,

    For a first attempt that was very good. You certainly know how to control the lighting and the shadows when doing table-top photography! And that is one of the most demanding of all forms of photography.

    With a sequence such as this, where the images do not have a specific "mood", the choice of music is perhaps less critical than in other cases. I enjoyed the pan-pipes (that's my kind of music for chilling out to!) but others may not.

    I felt that one or two of the images were not as sharp as they should be. It looked as if you had lost control of either the depth of field or the plane of sharp focus on some of them.

    The deep zoom was an excellent idea and the choice of image for it was ideal - but it went perhaps a little too deep. The image was taken beyond the point where pixel interpolation (the adding of pixels by the software) became apparent.

    In some respects I felt the second part (after the deep zoom) was better than the first part. I say this because now you were mixing up the transition effects. The first part had a very steady rhythm and the transitions seemed to be all simple fades. In the second part there was variety, which made it a more interesting viewing experience.

    Your occasional use of animation (bouncing eggs, rocking eggs and the hopping bunny at the end) also introduced variety - although the final "bounce" of the middle egg seemed just a bit too high.

    If this is the standard you can achieve at your first attempt, a lot of us are going to have to work hard to stay ahead of you.

    Well done! and thanks for letting us share this work.

    regards,

    Peter

    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

    Hi arendsoog,

    It sounds as if you are adopting the good practice of keeping everything for each sequence in a folder that is used only for that sequence. If so, and if you are using the latest version of PTE (v5.52), proceed as follows:

    - launch PTE and open the project that is giving the small size

    - do File---Create backup in zip and let PTE save the file

    - close down PTE

    - use Windows Explorer to find the zip file and move it to some other safe place (not either of the two existing folders)

    - still in Windows Explorer, delete the projectname folder and all its contents

    - now create a new, empty projectname folder

    - next, extract the contents of the zip file into this new folder

    - then delete the testfolder and all its contents

    You've now arrived at a point where the only copy of the image files and pte files (and any associated music) is the copy in the newly created projectname folder.

    Finally, launch PTE and open the project out of the new projectname folder. It should all work as before and give you the small size that you want.

    If anything goes wrong, the original folders and their contents should still be available in the Recycle Bin.

    regards,

    Peter

    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?

    Hi,

    You apparently didn't load the new originals. You must leave PTE (close it out) and re-open to load the new images. If you already have them in a separate folder or you resized them in the original folder just quite PTE and re-open so they are not in the memory or cache and when you remake the exe file it will be MUCH smaller.

    Best regards,

    Lin

    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?
