The zoom in and the zoom out are linear. But if you multiply their values, the result is not constant

Ce bouton n'est-il pas suffisant ? Il suffit ensuite de réouvrir PTE pour travailler tranquillement sur un autre projet Is this button not enough ? Then just reopen PTE to work quietly on another project

Hi Paul, Here are two examples of PopUp books like yours of the 4th december (much simpler), made with PTE http://diapositif.net/Diaporamas/19-12-05_JJB_-_Calendrier_de_l'Avent_du_5_decembre_2019.zip http://diapositif.net/Diaporamas/13-12-17_JCV_-_Calendrier_de_l'Avent_17-12-2013.zip Jean-Cyprien

Hi Alex, To see the parent object above the child object, you need to use a frame. It is this frame that must be animated, not the parent

Thanks Lin ! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too and your loved ones, Lin, and a lot of great ideas to make a lot of wonderful AV ! Jean-Cyprien

Yes, thank you Igor, I do not do enough style to remember this opportunity to use the crop ! In the instructions that came with my style, I said that the 3/2 ratio had to be very precise.

Hi, The ratio of your pictures must be 3/2 to the nearest pixel. Check if this is the case.

Hi, Enlarging the Timeline in O&A will be a great improvement, for example with a lot of keyframes on a long view - more than 30s

OK Thanks Igor.

Hi, In preview and in exe, « alt + enter » allows now to change from full screen to windowed mode (and reverse). A nice improvment. This is also valid using the « Fullscreen preview from current position » button. A double click does the same things in preview and in exe, but not with the « Fullscreen preview from current position » button. Is it voluntary ? Jean-Cyprien

Thanks, Paul, good for you ! Jean-Cyprien

Hi, Please precise what is wrong with the attached sound file to a specific view. For me, it's OK, with the buttons, or with right and left clics of the mouse. See my example. (Of course, it's not possible to have also a continous sound) AttachedSound_Aug5-2019_13-47-05.zip

It's a very great tool See my example HideChild_Jul31-2019_11-26-03.zip

Hi, You must also uncheck one of the two boxes Show front side or Show back side If both these two cases are unchecked, and Hide child objects checked, all the children will be unvisible.

Unless I'm mistaken, I believe that PTE is 20 years old on this July 2nd Happy birthday PTE (barely late) and thanks to Igor and his team

Hi gogs, To combine the Marcel'effect with miror(s) is a very interesting idea with amazing, very nice results. Bravo ! Thanks for the (too many !) styles. Jean-Cyprien

Nice transitions, and as Pascal says This new option will undoubtedly be an important source of creativity.

Hi Tom, Very nice examples too ! Using the opacity is a good idea. Thanks.

Thanks, Lin. To do it, perhaps I've used Igor's other way you mentionned. It's a lot more faster than the method #36. The beginning is the same. You put an image on the timeline, and open the O & A window. You put the same image as a child of the first image For this child you put a keyframe a little before the end of the view (to see the end before moving to the next view!) or at the end. For this keyframe, you decrease the dimensions of the image a little (Zoom to 90% for example) and you turn it a few degrees (5 or 6 to see). You make sure that this child is selected, You do Copy (CTRL C) and then, you do Paste (CTRL V) as many times as you want (by pressing V continously if you want !) It' finished, you can do "Play" !

Very very good example, Lin, of what we can do with Marcel's method. I enclose here an example with twisted steeples (twisted voluntarily, or sometimes naturally), and flowers. Playing the exe file sometimes requires a "muscular" computer (not always very smooth), but it is of course perfect in video output mp4 There are 8 transition files - to try !

Hi Alex, here the solution

Hi Pascal, A spectacular transition, perhaps difficult to use in a classic AV, but whose construction is very interesting, and which can give good ideas for the future ! Kind regards Jan-Cyprien

Thank you, Dave, Pascal and Lin for your remarks. Yes, I hope this will give ideas for doing interesting things in the future. Best regards Jean-Cyprien

Here you'll find the explanation Thanks to Paiche59, Davagee, denisb and Igor and his team, of course ! Manual.zip

Hi, The styles that I propose are not transitions in the sense of PTE. They make it possible to obtain three slides, a slide with an initial image, a slide with a final image, and between the two, a slide making the transition between them. You must provide the initial and final images, AND an image that will be used to construct the transition, which may be a pattern, or an image that you have chosen. This image is very important, you will put in it all your imagination and creativity. Hence the choice of styles, not transitions, because I think it is more easy to change the slides for (and given by) a style than to modify a personal transition. I urge you to read the manual to better understand. As I’m talkative and I speak to beginners, it is a bit long ... But it’s not complicated. You will find here - some examples of what you can do, (the pictures are of poor quality, we had to make light), - the manual (a translation from a French version, thus duplicates with Paiche59’s explanations) - the style files (file to unzip, of course) To import these styles, you select an image from the Slide list (no matter which one), then you click "Slide Style", then "Tools", and you choose "Import Style". You choose a style (a file that ends with .ptestyle), then "Apply". To continue, click on "Tools" again ... The manual is in the following message Have fun ! Jean-Cyprien Examples and style files.zip
