Given how well PTE AV Studio handles 4K video and large images now. Especially via a 60p Mp4. Would this now be the time to make our shows as both HD and also 4K. If had a 4K TV and I was keen to view my shows on it, I’d make them that size.

It’s 6am here in Australia, the sun is shining, the sky is blue, so I guess has 2020 arrived OK. As I write many of you will be asleep, (or still partying?) nah, probably asleep. The question is, what will 2020 bring us all? Who knows, but I wish you all a healthy and safe year ahead.

Ron. What your viewing here is the output from screen capture software Camtasia, not PTE AV Studio. I’m using Camtasia to capture the PC screen in use, which in this case was PTE AV Studio. Those text options are a part of Camtasia, not PTE Here’s a thought that not everyone will share, but within PTE AV Studio I feel that with all the text options we have, quite often the most stylish text is simple white on black or black on white and static. IMHO and for the style of AV I make.

Is a mobile version of PTE AV Studio feasible, once the Mac version is released?

Same here

Isn’t this what Themes are designed to allow.

I’ve used that shift key method for some time and I find it really good. It’s quick and easy and it’s surprising too how many images can be distorted in this way and show little or no evidence. I use it more often than many would know.

No need to thank me really, it gives me something to do while trapped in the house. , but I do appreciate the thanks. I should be thanking you for the great software and hours of fun you’ve given me and others

I hadn’t given that option much thought to be honest. I only mentioned SSC, because that statistic was a bit of an eye opener for me. It seemed to be saying even enthusiasts are either nervous of downloading, or couldn’t be bothered. I’ll give it a try one day.

I’m only part of the way through the posting of videos on YouTube. There are more to come and I add a few each day. On my website you can view the video on YouTube right on that same page, which is very convenient, or download the video to keep if its on a subject you’re keen on. Having said that, I’m convinced most people find viewing them as a streaming video the best choice. Especially with the quality we can now achieve. I recall a stat I discovered on SSC a while back. For every 100 views of a slide show, only 14 downloads were made and that’s on an enthusiasts site.

Will it be possible to make speed modifiers quicker to set. Right click the Keyframe and have the speed options available there perhaps A Keystroke on a selected keyframe to set one of the speed options. Ctrl+ Could we set speed for multiple keyframes Maybe a global preference setting, so a user who knows they will mostly use the smooth speed can set it for all

It’s so quick to create, I didn’t follow through and create a style

How about creating a Slide Style that just contains the text, but perhaps leaves the text transparent. (0 opacity.) Apply the slide style first and then your images and commentary. You could then go to any image that requires text and bring up the opacity and adjust the wording.
