Eddie. You’ll need 4 Keyframes to do that. Set your first keyframe opacity to 0%. Set the next keyframe about 1-2s further along the time line at 100% Your third keyframe needs to be where you want the text to fade out and the opacity remains at 100%. Then the fourth keyframe about 1-2s further along the timeline set to 0% opacity. Very where these keyframes appear for affect.

Is this being made a little more complicated than it is. You cannot make a vertical image fit a landscape slide show. This is a job for picture in picture that has been mentioned already above. If time permits tomorrow I’ll make a short video.

I’ve been unable to do much on my PC on this subject, so I cannot add anything to what Politer has said

Well done Politer and Igor. I almost never posted that issue, thinking it was my PC rather than the software.

I’ll do that, but to help matters I have also had a bit of a clear out of all my old style locations. So, I have a nice clean install now.

On two occasions in the past week, while working on slide styles. The Slide Styles and Themes button stopped working. I Was able to access other options from the main screen via other buttons, but not slide styles and Themes. To cut a long story short, to get it working again I had to uninstall PTE AV Studio and do a fresh install. I have no idea or can give no indication why this should happen.

Can you explain how it’s done for those of us who have never taken that route?

Ok. I’m not a fan of scale keyframes and as you saw I turn them off, but once I know the issue, I can avoid it. No worries

Richard. Yes, The orange audio volume line is a feature of the pro version. If you go to Settings > Preferences > Main. You can switch to a trial version of the pro version just to take a look. Its easy to switch back, no dramas PTE AV Studio Home user Video PTE AV Studio Pro user Video

Further still.......If the Slide Styles are placed into a Theme and applied, they work as expected

Further....If I drag down one image at a time into the slide list and apply the styles one at a time, they work as expected. If I drag 6 images into the slide list and add 6 individual styles one at a time the keyframe is moved as described above

PTE AV Studio 10.0.11 build 8 I created simple animation as shown in sample 001 and saved it as a slide style. (then created 5 other Styles of a similar nature) When I apply the slide styles PTE is moving the first keyframe from the end of the on transition to the start. See Sample 002

I agree about the 3s clips probably for the same reason as you, but it’s not just action movies and the challenge to retain interest in AV is always a battle. It’s why the first rule of AV is not to allow your enthusiasm to make a presentation 15 minutes long with content that couldn’t hold attention for 5.
