I am assembling slideshows importing full-size jpegs at 1920x1080 .
I use only the ZOOM effect with a full-size screen at 16x9 and 1024x768 high quality setting ;
hardware acceleration ON
I then CONVERT to an HD video for PC and MAC with quality high setting and PAN&SCAN off
Is there any way to set the parameters to minimise the flickering ?

Latest update : to string the slideshows with individual tracks of music together , Adobe Encore works fine ; we just did a trial DVD assembly .

Claudia,
In that case you will need to edit your music tracks in a sound editor program such as Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net)

Peter
Thanks once again , I am looking into it .

Claudia,
Do you want to run them as a "continuous" set - or do you want to be able to trigger each one manually after a brief "live" introduction? Your requirements are not clear to me and so I am in danger of giving you completely the wrong advice.
regards,
Peter
Peter ,
I want to run them as a continuous set but I need to be able to control the space between the shows ; the music tracks have odd seconds of silence and I'd like to clean that up when stringing the shows together .

You won't be able to copy and paste the music so that will have to be entered manually after stringing the slideshows together. To do that, open the slideshow you want to copy. Go to main menu and select all slides. Do not "close" this slideshow but rather just do a "file" "open" and open the slideshow which you want to add to. Paste the copied slides in the main slide list and all slides, animations, etc., will be there when you save this show. Next add the music tracks and save again.
Repeat by opening the second slideshow you want to copy from....

Thanks Lin ,
But then the pauses between the tracks will be dictated by the tracks themselves and cannot be modified I guess .

Thanks to everyone for the helpful comments ; I am in the middle of putting together a number of short PTE slideshows , set to individual tracks of music . Does any of you have a suggestion as to how to string them together to be run as a continuous set ?
-
Thank you very much for your detailed reply ; this helps a lot . I use lightroom to export and convert the files . That way I can treat all pictures at once .
-
I usually work with PSD files and need to resize and convert them to jpeg for the slideshows ; is there a rule of thumb for the conversion , such as reducing them to 50% quality ? Or can I just use the full size jpegs ( around 5MB each) - I have not found the "formula' yet .

Dave,
I've had problems with 32bit PCM WAV in the past. I think you could be right?
regards,
Peter
I simply went with thwe wave file from 32 to 16 and got the program to run the music so I agree.

SUCCESS !!!!
It actually didn't like the 32 bit . I tried MP3 as well as Wave in 16 bit and the waveline comes up ! Thanks a million . You've all helped me a lot . Happy to have joined the forum . Will no doubt be back with more puzzles since I am new to this .

Hi ,
Thanks for the reply ; the wave file already is PCM , about four minutes with a size of 88MB and 3072kbps ; 32 bit ; 48khz Audio sample rate - I see the icon but can't click on it because the frame is not active .
Is there maybe a template out there that I could simply copy and adapt ?
Claudia

Hi Hawk and thanks for the swift response . As to the situation : the icon is not active although I see the symbol . No response when I click on it .
-
Hi
I am not able to get the waveform visible on the timeline although the wav file is loaded and playing .
any suggestions ?

Thanks , I'll try that !
Also , as to pixel ratio , do you have a recommendation ? Is there a "better" size to begin with in PTE ? I have full size jpegs and then set 16:9 with 1920x1080 which then PTE reduces further for the HD video . And then , processing my small slideshows into one DVD
which at 720x480 reduces the size further , will the procedure work the same or will I get into a new problem ?
Many thanks ,
Claudia
