I am having difficulty changing between two sequences. Wishing to stop working on sequence 1 ( waiting for info) i want to switch to an old sequence to rework it, say sequence 2. I go to FILE ,select sequence 2 from my sequences list and go to OPEN ( it is not in the recent project list ) The problem is that sequence 1 does not clear from the slide list and sequence 2 doe not appear. Please advise where I am going wrong, I assume I could have same situation when I am ready to go back to sequence 1.

Thank you both,I have now got it. Canico

Hello I have been linking slides to music in the right click drop down menu in V10 studio but have not found a way to delete the slide number if I later want to release it and link to a different slide. I will be grateful if someone could advise me Regards Canico

Thanks again for all responses but special thanks to Barry. That was exactly what I wanted, easy when you know how !! Best Regards Canico

Thanks for everyone's suggestions but the basic problem is that both lines of text appear in the same text box and increase or decrease in size together. I cannot find a way to split them so that I can size them differently. The zoom function moves them both together. Regards Canico

I am trying to put text in two sizes on an image but have only succeeded in getting one size. Is it possible please in version 10 ?

Thanks again Lin , I will know what to do if this happens. Canico

Thanks to Lin and Dave for your respones. Problem Solved - pilot error, looking at the screen pic you sent Lin I realised that 'burn DVD' was unticked which is surprising as I successfully made a DVD a week before. I am interested in your advice that the DVD burner can wear out, when this happens does this require replacement hardware or software ? Canico

Thanks for your reply Dave but I am sorry I do not follow you. Where is the ISO option and what does VLC stand for please ? Canico

I have just encounted a publishing problem that has left me frustrated and I would welcome some advice please. I am using windows 10 and PTE V9 and have used 'publish' to make DVDs of my sequences for years without difficulty but this has just stopped working. What is happening is that the publish sequence procceds as usual but when the DVD goes into a DVD player it says nothing has been recorded. I have tried sony and panasonic players with the same result,also I have used different blank DVDs. I have also tried to publish onto a USB stick but this is also blank. I have seen a message on screen as follows - access violation at address 0075AB9C in module pictures to exe read of address 00000000 but I have no idea what this means ! Regards

I decided to revisit an old sequence made on PTE 8 and made a small change and then tried to go into the Publish sequence to burn a DVD. This did not work this time and at the top of the screen it says WN Soft Video Builder ( not responding) Can some one please advise what the problem is ?

I use DVDs all the time and would be lost without this facility . I find the best way to view photos and sequences is on a large screen TV via a dvd player. This way friends and family can view together.

Thank you Jill and jt49 for your help Canico

Many thanks Jill. If you later decide to reposition it do you right click again to release it ? Canico

Is it possible to 'lock' vocal and music sections when you get them in the right positions on the time lines. I find that when I am maneuvering a section of audio on either at one end of the sequence or the other another section has sometimes moved out of the desired position on either the music or vocal track. Thank you Canico

I have one of the early versions of PTE9, please advise how I can upgrade to the latest modified version. Thank you Canico

Many thanks Lin - very helpful. Canico

I have just started using the latest version and in the new features listed is the ability to adjust picture brightness,contrast etc. but I cannot find anywhere that explains where to get into this. I can see this being advantageous by avoiding the need to go into Photoshop.Also there are references to upgrades to keyframes, I have never used keyframes , what are typical applications please ? Thank you Canico

Hello George Thank you for your comments Canico

Thank you for the replies - I currently do as davegee says but was looking for a step up without the complexity of Audacity or Audition. Perhaps I will stick with what I have as it seems no-one in this community is using Serif. Canico

I have tried Audacity but found it too difficult to use so I am interested in something simpler. Canico

Hello Barry The write - up says it is easy to edit and mix and edit from different tracks and also do time stretching. I usually have a problem with the length of a music track, either too long or too short. Canico

Has anyone experience of using Serif Extra's Acoustica Standard Edition 6 music editing software ? It looks as though it would be useful but I would be pleased to hear any comments before investing. Thank you Canico

Thanks Dave for your work on this. I find viewing on a TV the best home option and of course this enables a group of people a better view than a computer screen. However when I take a sequence to our AV club and see it projected onto a big screen I am blown away by the difference - the good bits and the bad bits ! Canico

Hello Phil Thank you for giving your time and thoughts on this, however I am pleased to say that I have solved the problem although I am not sure why it happened . I had several older versions and I decided to clear them in case they were somehow overloading the program ( the completed sequence is 371KB ) and one these ,an abandoned start only 2KB, refused to open but a message appeared that said it was already open. It refused to close so I moved it out of PTE to another folder and then everything was back to normal ! So I am pleased to say job done and on to the next one where no doubt some other problem will arise but I guess this is how we learn. Canico
