  1. Create Backup in ZIP

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Thanks to all of you for your help.

    First of all, I could recover all my deleted files, including my last PTE file (using EASEUS), so I didn't loose nothing!!!

    I tried "Template solution" and it worked fine, no limitations (4,50 GB with 129 files, all is there), so I hope I will use this solution for the future.

    Before I asked for your help I tried "7Zip" and Windows unzip function but they didn't work neither.

    According to Igor, since I use Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, I will have a try with ZIP64 (till 16 GB archive).

    Thanks again

    Jose

  2. Create Backup in ZIP

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Windows 7 Pro

    PTE 8.0.4

    Making a project which will be near 1 hour long.

    Lots of JPEG and converted AVI, some PNG files, one MP3 long audio track, some MP3 comments and own's slide audio.

    Each time I add a "chapter" to the project I create respective PTE Backup in Zip.

    So far, so good. Last time I created a zip backup it was 3,71 GB containing 116 files

    Today I created another zip backup: 4,42 GB with around 135 files.

    When I tried to extract this last backup (WinZip 12.1) came an error: "Start of central directory not found; zip file corrupt; possible cause: file transfer error".

    I tried to google on this subject but only saw something about a 4 GB limit to Zip files on WinZip, as well as some coments on a poor reliability of WinZip with long and heavy files.

    Problem is that I deleted my ".pte" file after having made the zip backup.

    When I tried to unzip this backup... NOTHING! And I lost part of my project!

    I am now running "EASEUS DATA RECOVERY WIZARD PROFESSIONAL 7.5" on my working computer, trying to recover the deleted files, including my last ".pte" file. But I will have to wait some 5 hours to end the process and see final result, it's not sure.

    In this meantime I wonder if some member had already this problem with PTE BACKUP IN ZIP concerning this 4 GB file limit or poor reliability of WinZip.

    Anyway, what could be an alternative for me to backup my several PTE files, each time bigger and bigger?

    Thanks,

    Jose

  4. Same movie across several slides [SOLVED]

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    PTE 8.0.4

    In a project, I have 12 slides (1 minute total). All are masked.

    I want to run a 1 minute movie "underside" all these slides (movie showing around each masked picture/slide).

    Movie must be continuous, I mean, not interrupted each time a slide changes to next one.

    I think this is possible but can not find where it is explained.

    Some help, please!

    Thanks,

    Jose

  9. How to print picture and video thumbnails

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    As part of pre-production of a PTE project, I need to have a print on paper of some 600 photos and videos thumbnails, in order to have an instant glimps of all available material.

    In Windows7, process to print thumbnails (photos and videos, as we see them displayed on computer) exclude the video thumbnails, only photos are printed.

    Is there any other way to print both photo and video thumbnails on same sheet of paper?

    Thanks.

  10. Reduce Slide Duration

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Jose,

    Will this work?

    Experiment on a COPY?

    Click on the Video in the Objects Panel.

    Delete the Zero Key Frame for the Video (if there is one)

    Press Control + E to show Shift Key Frame control.

    Shift by 60 seconds to the left (example).

    Remove 60 seconds from the Video Offset in Properties Tab (example).

    Remove 60 seconds from the Slide Duration (example).

    I have assumed that there is an OFFSET to the Video.

    DG

    Dave,

    Thanks so much. It worked! Perfect!

    I didn't even know this very usefull Shift Key Frame Control. Great!

    Best regards,

    Jose

  11. Reduce Slide Duration

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Trying to recover some parts of a project made under XP SP3 32-bit, which refuses to open under my actual W7 ULTIMATE 64-bit (OUT OF MEMORY ERROR and CRASH), I was able to isolate a certain slide 3:34,099 long, and open it in O&A of my actual PTE 8.0.1.

    This slide is most important for me: it only contains an HD video of a river at sunset, which I want to include in another project.

    However, the video length is only 1:29,960 and it is located at the end of the slide.

    This way, the first 02:04,139 of the slide are black, nothing is there.

    I want to reduce the length of the slide to 1:29,139 (video length).

    This would be no problem if situation was only about one simple video with its initial keyframe.

    However, situation is that such video has been shot from a boat. Of course, I stabilized it (SONY VEGAS), but it was not enough, as the sun was still jumping side to side, up and down, and horizont line changing inclination.

    I had to "stabilize" it here in PTE, using lots of keyframes and changing X, Y and ROTATION in each keyframe. I was able to get a good and stable video.

    However, I had to zoom-in the whole video (119%), in order to not show black border zones.

    I was able to eliminate all black borders except upper black border, as I do not want to zoom-in anymore.

    To fill such upper black border, I used same video again under a Blur Mask Container, and zoomed-out it (vertical zoom only), in order that no separation line between both videos was visible.

    99% perfect and smooth, just like I want it!

    So, with so many keyframes (X, Y, Rotation) in both videos, along 1:29,960, is there a way to "push" these videos to the start of the reduced slide, without working on each and every keyframe?

    All this (isolate the past project, slide by slide, in order to recover sequences of videos and pictures already prepared), once more (see Nov 2012 posts), only because PTE still is a native 32-bit software.

    I just messaged Igor about this.

    4K is arriving , HD is in its middle age, and PTE goes on developing fantastic capabilities which can not be used freely because of 32-bit limitations. And don't say that this is "pushing the limits" as someone said before.

    Thanks.

  12. PTE CONVERTER (7.5.10)

    Hi Jose,

    I had meant to get back to you because when I opened the zipped archive, these files were missing - if you could send these to me I'll have a look. I've been pretty tied up with some personal issues lately and have just recently gotten back to the forum:

    Hi Lin,

    Thanks.

    I just emailed you.

    Regards,

  13. PTE CONVERTER (7.5.10)

    in General Discussion

    I suspect the reason why the extension is not directly accepted is that the M2TS or MTS (same file, different extension) is also used in the AVCHD format which PTE doesn't yet support. There will be a new ffmpg library in the future (8.5) I think, and it will accept several different extensions directly. But for now it appears that we must manually change various extensions such as M2TS, MTS, MOD which are all MPEG-2 variants to get the PTE converter to accept them. If the M2TS extension were automatically accepted and the format was AVCHD, I suspect the converter would crash and to avoid this possibility, the developers elected to not automatically accept these extensions. Just a guess on my part...

    Best regards,

    Lin

    Hi Lin,

    I just upgraded to PTE 8.0.1 and I can see now that its Converter accepts m2ts files (Converter 7.5.10 did not accept, I had to rename to mov).

    So, it was before your suspected future (8.5)!

    Great!

    Regards,

    Jose

  14. PTE 8.0.1 - Edit Video Clip Audio Track

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Jose,

    Have you now recieved your license???

    DG

    Hi,

    Yes, this morning I had it here. It was sent by Support Dept upon my claim for it.

    As I can see in this Forum, Licenses always have been a problem with WnSoft. Should not it be a 100% automatic process just like we can see in everyother software online purchasing? And why does WnSoft need to proclaim 5 minutes?

    Regards,

  17. PTE 8.0.1 - Edit Video Clip Audio Track

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I just upgraded from 7.5.10 to 8.0.1 (I am still waiting for new License, the anounced 5 minutes to receive license upon paying have already overpassed 1 hour... I am a bit disapointed)

    Please, someone let me know if it will be possible with this version to edit the audio of each video clip.

    I mean: I have 2 clips, both with sound.

    I put a dissolve transition from clip 1 to clip 2.

    Result is ok for the video, but transition does not affect the audio, as it should be supposed to.

    So, I think that this will be possible somehow.

    If not, I must separate audio from video, mute de clips, and include and edit each audio part into the main audio trak, which I use to prepare outside PTE. That is what I have been making till now in version 7.5.10.

    Thanks,

    Jose

    Thanks so much for your guess. Yes, I think your explanation is the correct one, and now I understand.

    PTE Converter (from PTE 7.5.10) does not accept M2TS files.

    I tried to simply change M2TS extension to MOV extension (no conversion at all) and PTE Converter accepts and converts to AVI without any problem.

    Is there any inconvenient? No quality loss? How is this possible?

    Thanks.

    112 views and 0 replies?

    It seams like PTE Converter could accept M2TS files, directly.

    I wonder why all this can happen.

    No comments?

    All this is because I often use SONY VEGAS to stabilize MOV videos from my DSLR.

    Best file type VEGAS can offer when rendering is M2TS.

    To use such videos in PTE we must convert them into AVI, so, to avoid a double conversion I change M2TS extension to MOV and PTE Converter does the job.

    No other member had this situation?

  21. Adding/Joining Edited Slides

    Jose,

    Have you tried:

    Open Old Project - copy slide.

    Open New Project - Paste Slide

    It works between V7.5.10 and V8.

    DG

    Thanks DG.

    I didn't try yet.

    Anyhow, problem is that such 2 projects are in 2 different computers (I missed to specify).

    I wonder if I can make copy/paste of edited slide to a pendrive, and copy/paste from here to the project on other computer.

    If not, solution could be to backup-zip complete project and copy/paste it to the second computer, unzip, and copy/paste the edited slide.

    I will try soon.

    PTE 7.5.10

    Big mess...!

    Is it possible to add/join an edited slide from a PTE project to another PTE project (with same project options), without loosing all its edition parameters (keyframes, etc., included in its own O&A)?

    This is because I am returning to a 2012 project of mine which I never completed because of a PTE error never explained by PTE support (has to do with PTE running on Windows7 64-bit).

    I am now trying to overpass the situation as I must finish my project.

    Thanks,

    Jose

  24. Upgrading or Not Upgrading [SOLVED]

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I work with PTE 7.0.7 DeLuxe, which I bought 21 October 2011, got respective key and registered.

    Says: "DeLuxe features, free upgrades up to 11 December 2012".

    Ok, I never wanted to upgrade and I allways used DeLuxe features such as all "Publishing options" like HD video for PC (mp4) till late June 2013.

    Today I wanted to make another HD video for PC (mp4), and it says "For work with DeLuxe features of current version you need to pay for the upgrade".

    How is that? I do not want to upgrade, I just want to use my "old" Deluxe features of PTE 7.0.7.

    I wouldn't mind to pay for an upgrade to 7.5 (sooner or later I will do so) in order to get again DeLuxe features working, if I could keep such DeLuxe features working in my "old" 7.0.7 (where I just ended a project which I do not want to open in 7.5).

    But this seems not to be the case.

    When I choose PAY, such payment is to upgrade to 7.5, with respective license key, which will not apply to my 7.0.7, so, not interested.

    In the meantime, you say:

    For owners of Deluxe edition

    You have 2 years of free upgrades to any future versions from the date of your original purchasing of Deluxe edition.

    If your license key has expired for this new version, you can choose any of these ways:

    - use any previous version with all the functions for an unlimited time;

    - use this new version within the functions of the Standard edition;

    - pay for the upgrade to the latest Deluxe version.

    Ok, I shoul like to go on using the first way, as till June this year at least.

    Why is it not possible now?

    Any explanation?

    This is urgent, as I need to make the HD video for PC of my finished project.

    Please, do not tell me to use the 7.5 version, not for payment reasons but because I do not want to open project in this version.

    Thanks,

    Jose
