Igor, In the v5.1 beta, the choices in the Customize slides | Timing have been changed to now include "Wait for a key press to show next slide" which is useful in setting up individual manual slides in a show and and an entire manual show. However, I tried pressing any key and it doesn't work, only when pressing the Space bar or > key. A programmed left and right key will also work to advance to the next slide. Also if I highlight all the slides in a show and customize the timing for all the slides, another item is shown in the pull down list, Custom. What kind of Customizing is now available or will Customizing be available in future versions?..Harvey

Igor, I agree to some sort of indication like in 4.48 to show the slides which have been customized. In 4.48 at least the P button to the left of Customize Slide was "depressed " when a slide was customized to help in configuring a slide show. The slide list could be used as a means to show which slides have been customized whether it be animation, timing, etc. The problem is magnified when I prepare a 200 to 300 pic slide show and customize 20% of the slides. Then if the music is not quite long enough or a little bit too long and I don't want to adjust the pitch of the song to match the end of the show, I like to go back and adjust the "time interval" in ms to closely match the end and provide smooth continuity in the other 80% of the slides. In 5.1, if at this point I change the "time interval" and "set for existing slides" it changes the time for ALL the slides even those in the customized 20%...maybe another optional function "set for NON-CUSTOMIZED existing slides" is needed whereever "set for existing slides" is displayed. 5.1 is great but consumes a lot of time setting up shows to my liking...Harvey

John, I use Arcoft ShowBiz 2 to extract audio from video. However, you may want to try this freeware: www.aoamedia.com/audioextractor.htm Good luck...Harvey

Lin, Thx for putting together this slide show of the fires in Greece. We will be on a 12-day cruise in April '08 from Athens to Istanbul with stops in Katokolon, Corfu, Santorini & Mykonos + one or two days in Athens precruise. Hopefully I'll be able to capture some scenes of the devestation caused by this tragedy in the vicinity of Athens, i.e. the site of the original Olympics. I've been following the fires process and you put / pulled it all together. Great job...Harvey

Peter, Enjoyed your show. Were the "closeups" taken in macro & what camera did you use? Thx for the headsup on Mediafire, I just joined...Harvey

The slide show was prepared with V5.0. Altho I've made a number of informal shows, this is the 1st one I've formalized & posted up on the Beechbrook site. Note that because of the nature of the pics, I used only a small portion of the new capabilities of P2E. Feel free to C&C...Harvey

John, In O&A, just hilite the comment & set the animation points to coincide to when you want the fade to start and end, using opacity for fading. To get the comment text as a daughter, hilite / select the "prime" pic and click Add Text to create a text daughter Harvey

Hastinga, If its a color-of-your-choice thin margin (not frame) around your pics, you can do this in the free Irfanview software. individually or as a batch function. Use Image | Canvas | Add Image Border function, or the Batch Conversion/Rename | Canvas size, respectively...Harvey

Colin, Set the color in Project Options BEFORE you type the text on the Comment line...Harvey Also it's a one way street but Comment text is "converted" to O&A text as a Text Comment and its Properties...Animation is adjustable in O&A...but the vice versa O&A text is not converted to Comment .

I just tried to send you an email with a zipped file but I'm not sure it went. Send me an email, ltdedorc@verizon.net , & I email you the zip file...Harvey

Igor, My wife & I were in St. Petersburg on June 1 & 2 and enjoyed your country immensely. We took over a 1,000 pics and I am slowly putting them into a V5.01 show along with other pics of Scandanavia & Tallinn, Estonia. A big thanks to you & your staff for all the work you put into Version 5. Enjoy your vacation!!! Harvey

Ron & others, You can add "customized' comments to different slides and place them and size them by 1) just adding your text to Comments on the Main Screen, 2) select O & A where it is added as a Text Comment, 3) as a Text Comment you can click on the text and size & move it to where you want it, 4) you can can even make the Text Comment be a "daughter" to the main slide just as if you in O & A added the text, but A) recognize that if you change any of the text you have to resize it in O & A and you cannot have different font styles. So V5 B12 has a quasi customize text option...Harvey

Igor, It's not in Beta 9 via Projec Options | Comments | Customize Comment Font like in v4.48, but will the ability to change text Font Color be added in a future beta? Thx...Harvey

Igor Unlike LumenLux, I tried both Beta #8 & 8A with the same 60.3 MB slide show I've been using in the past and can get to the Wnsoft Video Builder page without getting an error message. I can Add PTE Project Files & click Next to get to the edit Title page without any problems. I've stopped there without actually burning a DVD...Harvey
