Hi Gary, Grouping of cubes is done in 1s with a slow down animation speed. To modify this effect it is necessary to intervene on each cube. Which is much more laborious than to develop this animation, because then we use a lot of copy/paste. To read the pteav files, you must start by executing the PteViewerX.exe file, found in the main directory of pte. Jean-Cyprien

Hi Gary, Although perfect, the adjustment of the 28 faces of an image sometimes leaves a vertical line, or a horizontal line. To avoid this drawback, at the end of the movements I superimposed the same image on the faces (which appears in 10ms, the keypoint being in fact composed of two points). For the next slide, at the start, the faces are also hidden by the complete image, which suddenly disappears again in 10ms when the cubes start to animate. The transition from one slide to the next is always done by a cut, because we see the same thing at the end of one slide and at the beginning of the next. So, what do you want to dissolve ? Slide N To do what you want to do (if I understood correctly : dissolve = blur ? Otherwise I don't see between which image/slide you want to dissolve), you would have to, before the end of the movements of a slide, add blur to each of the 28 faces that form an image (*), and add the same blur on the complete image. Then slowly remove the blur from this full image to see a normal, sharp image. Slide N+1 At the beginning of the slide (the next one), the clear full image could become blurred (in 500ms Which is very short), just before the animation of the cubes, whose 28 faces should be blurred in the same way as the full image (which disappears). Then all the faces could become sharp again (*). This work, before and at the start of the animation, should also be done at the start of slide N (*) We could keep a sharp image only when the cubes are stationary. Only the entire image would change from blur to sharp, then from sharp to blur. The 6*28 faces of the cubes could always remain blurred. Their movements being quite fast, it wouldn't be a big deal if all the faces were a little blurry. See below what it could look like for the transition between two slides : ( You will notice that the assembly of the 28 fuzzy faces is not so great !) Jeu_de_cubes_26C_avec flou.zip

Hi Colin, No, it's not a repetition, it's a little entertainment with the cubes dismantling and the faces scattering and fluttering. The beginning and the end of this slide are identical and so you can believe that two slides are the same I these flaps seem unpleasant to you, the slide can simply be deleted. Jean-Cyprien

Hi, This could solve your problem ? : Project Options > 1 - Main > Aspect ration 16/9 2 - Default > Cover and Apply to all slides

HI, With a Smooth animated speed at key frame 1, the plane will stop at key frame 2 after a slow down. Even if a accelerated speed was chosen at key frame 1 (or no deceleration), the plane will stop abruptly at key frame 2 to start again from speed zéro, due to the smooth choiice of speed at key frame 2. Note that two identical modifers are possible, but why ? Simply, the parameters of only one modifier could be modified. As the key frame 3 is at the end of the slide, their modifiers are useless Without a key frame in the middle of the flight, the movement will be continuous without jerking of displacement and speed

Hi, It is not necessary (I believe ) to have the image files to see what is wrong. Like Davegee I think all modifiers are useless here and could be deleted. The modifiers are duplicate on the second key frame, and ineffective on the third. For my part I would even delete the second key frame, but adding for the first key frame, a Y jump Amplitude 15 (for exemple). See my projet. Project1_Plane_jcv.pte

Hi, Thank you Igor, for your kind wishes and for your big work about PTE it's my turn to wish you a Merry Christmas, a very Happy New Year, and lots of good things for you, your family, and PTE Team

Hi Igor, YES, it does ! Bravo Igor. With PTE 5.6 in the prevue, miniplayer, O&A window, all is correct, no sound lag. Playing a .pteav file made with this new version is OK too. The use of .pte files made with previous PTE 5 is possible without lag. Thank again Jean-Cyprien

Oh ! Fine ! Thanks Igor

Example of the issue with a pteav file not made by me The original : http://www.diapositif.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=44144 and what I see/hear from 36 s 2021-11-11 11-19-24.mp4

Hi Igor, Sorry for the delay. "Do you observe any audio synchronization issue when you watch a movie in a video player app,, and video on YouTube?" No, never in "a video clip in PTE preview" Yes, always at the first playing I have two other PC, but not of the same brand, one with Windows 7 the other with Windows 8 No problem with those two PC Jean-Cyprien

Hi Igor, It will be daylight tomorrow, there is no rush ! Answer 1. All is OK with mp4 Answer 3. Not correct with PTE 10.5 Correct after a pause ( but perfect with PTE 10.0) . See the result in PJ . At the end, you can hear an additionnal Bang ! Answer 2. I'll see tonight 2021-11-10 19-54-20.mp4

Hi Igor, I have tried everything, with - the five files in mp3 (converted by Audacity) - the soundtrack (the five ogg files) converted by PTE into one file mp3 - this above PTE mp3 file converted into a M4A file (by the way, what do you mean by "and check a synchronization".) with antivirus and firewall disabled . The system is using a SSD, my files are using a HDD. If I put the files on SDD it's the same problem The audio output settings on that PC for sound card (Realtc version 1 sept 2020) are 24 bits 48 kHz. Same problem with the option 16 bits 48 kHz Attached a video of the problem. After a pause the synchronisation is correct. After a second longer pause (for ex. 30s) the problem reappears ! 2021-11-10 16-37-34.mp4

Thank you, macian. Perhaps it's perfect with Apple ? I don't know if v10.14.6 is a 10.5 or 10.0 version. With a PC, it is possible to work with PTE 10.0 using a .pte file made with PTE.5 and in this case there is no time lag problem.

Hi, Time lag problem. The problem is delicate because the defect appears with some PCs but not with others. So, first, there may be a PC configuration problem. This defect appeared in the first version of PTE10.5 (PTE AV Studio 10.5.0). It did not exist with PTE AV Studio 10.0 (10.0.14) or with previous versions. The sound is notably delayed (of the order of a second),when : - playing an executable file or a pteav file, - working in PTE in preview, or in the miniplayer, and even in the O&A window but only when one starts these playings, workings, the time lag continuing until the end. If you do a pause, the sound resynchronizes correctly, and so the problem disappears until you close PTE or end the playback. But it reappears if you open PTE or play the slideshow again. However it seems that if we start again immediately, the time lag is less (memory effect ?), but not zero. I attach a test project. Thanks in advance.

Hi, It is possible but not easily if the text is animated. You have to copy the text on each slide. Maybe not for beginners : note that keypoints can be located outside of slide. See an example there (my post of april 2nd:

Hi, The full slideshow can be found here : https://www.slideshowclub.com/files/file/171-two-poppies/ Twists, unwinding and winding of the lace require a spreadsheet to be done quickly

Hi Tutorial very quickly executed. And example requiring work on spreadsheet Fantaisie papavérine.pteav PTE-spreadsheet.pdf

Hi Mike, In the O&A window, an object (image, frame ...) can be copied and pasted into a spreadsheet (EXCEL for example). Once modified in this spreadsheet, the new file can be copied and pasted in the O&A window.

Hi, Astonishing result, and very interesting construction. Thank you Pascal.

Hi Igor, Yes, it's OK now with the Release Candidate Thanks Igor

Thank you Paul, for this confirmation.

Sorry, Paul, not for me (I'm with Windows 7)

Hi, Previously, when we displayed an offset value in this specific window, we immediately saw the keyframes move, then we validated. With version 10.5, the keyframes only move after validating. Nothing very important, but we could see better what we were doing (for example forgotten points, or others not concerned). Thanks - Jean-Cyprien

Hi Paul breathtaking bravissimo !
