Do you have Photoshop?

Sorry J-C I should have said that the Apple Mac OS is 10.14.6 known also as Mojave. My PTE AV STUDIO and PTE PLAYER are 10.5.5

The timing is perfect. The sound volume is very, very low, almost inaudible. (Sorry, this was due to having headphones plugged in!!!!!) Silly me Apple iMac: v10.14.6

Problem solved!!

I now realise that if the text was hidden by a mask it would be seen as such in the preview.

Is there a mask associated with the slide?

In Project Options, is the Background colour set to Solid Colour – Black?

I received a gross message from Alina at 18.40. Now deleted and NOT opened!

Does it play and if so, is the volume very low? In Preferences, see the setting for Timeline Audio track height.

…mm! That could be the explanation. I have an Apple iMac.

Fine. But some of the text was off-screen with some of the letters clipped.

Welcome to you as a new member. Your example shows that you are certainly not a novice in the world of AV!

A clever idea well executed. The text was a bit off-screen to the left.

You appear to have gone from "Mac HD" to "Library" which is not going to get to where you want. There are several different Library files in Mac OS. You must go via: Mac HD/Users/your name/Library/Application Support/PTEAVStudio/Styles and Transitions where you will also find Templates.

Hi there TC, I have found this path: Macintosh HD/users/your name/Library/Application Support/PTAVStudio/Styles and Transitions. Ditto PTEAVStudio/Templates. Ian

Yes, and Igor is on to it. See his post for Thursday September 2nd.

Would a graphics tablet be out of the question? Barry Beckham has a useful tutorial video on this topic.

I looked up the location and found it most interesting. Another point – a bit nit-picking, I suppose but when transitioning from a colour image to its monochrome version (or vice versa), I would try to keep them aligned.

Your first upload has worked well and I have added a few comments.

Good morning RayArt, I have played through your show a couple of times and I much enjoyed it. You have bravely asked for comments and suggestions– so here goes! As I said it is an enjoyable show but it leaves me wanting more information (but that's just me.) I would like to know the location of these structures, especially the Gaudy-like church. Animations: At 2:20 you have brought some portrait-format images over a background image, which works well. However, they come to a sudden stop, which is a bit jarring. As they enter from off-screen it might be better to set the animation speed modifier to "Slow down." Likewise for similar animations at 3:25. There is a strange fade form one slide to a very similar one at about 3:03/5 which is confusing and does not add anything to the flow. You have made good use of masks at the 3:56 to 4:05 point. Finally, for now, congratulations on your first show. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Kind regards, Ian McIntosh

Alex, I wish I could remember!! I'd follow Dave's advice above. Here I show my one and only menu slide with its 6 shows. One shows the Animation tab.The other shows the Properties tab and the first show's title and the link to the "Close up" show.

Yes!

I tried this and it made no discernible difference to the smoothness of the movement of the text.

This is a further refinement! Moving text R to L masked_Jun5-2021_17-03-01.zip

Hi Ugo, As you are a new user, I suggest that you watch some of the excellent tutorial videos by Barry Beckham. Kind regards, Ian
