And now about the video files. For each video, you check the option "do not include file to exe" and then you generate a "Safe Executable file for Internet". After that you insert manually all the needed video files in the zipped folder. This will allow you to install your project in other PCs. Notice that th total zipped file is now 559 Mo, and the ptshow itself is only 53 Mo.

First about the audio files. All the audio files are read and mixed by PTE and PTE generates a resulting mp3 wich is embeded in the exe file. No matter the original file was in wav, ogg, mp3, mp4 or other exotic audio format. All the audio files that PTE is able to read are mixed and a resulting mp3 file is generated. Under PTE 9 it is even possible to save this mp3 file separetely.

And when you include a video in your show, don't frorget to not include the video clips in your exe.

Hi Gary. Just validate the 'convert to Mp3' option.

No problem with the task bar under W10 for me, even on an old laptop. If you use your laptop connected to a videoprojector for a public show, just switch off the WiFi and you will not receive pop up alerts.

In fact this parameter is considered as a modifier, and reacts as the others modifiers. It is the same thing for the animation speed.

Hi Gary Denis Indicated you the way to modulate the bit rate with Video Converter. You say that you are limited by the size of the project file (280 Mb). Did you try to not include the video files in the exe file ? I think it will solve this problem of size limitation.

It is a question of target. If you plan to show your project by yourself, from your own computer, the size doesn't matter, and passing through PTE Converter you obtain the best fluidity and the best image quality for your exe file. If you plan to share your project with other people, the best thing to do is to convert it in a mp4 video file, and in this case you must insert in your project mp4 video clips in order to obtain the best fluidity and image quality for the final mp4 file. I follow the workflow suggested one year ago by Denis: 1) Prepare my video clip under a video editor and save the clip in mp4 format 2) Use PTE Video Converter to obtain an AVI copy Now you have two identical video-clips, one named MyClip.mp4 and the other named MyClip.AVI 3) Prepare your project using the AVI files 4) Generate the exe.file 5) Change the extensions of all the video-clip files from AVI to MP4 6) Generate a video from your project in MP4 format

Hi, Gary. I am not sure to understand. Normally we don't use direct mp4 files under PTE. They need to be converted in AVI format under PTE Video Converter. Do you meet this problem with an AVI file obtained using PTE Video Converter ?

Gary, I prefer to adjust the speed and the duration of my video clip when I edit it under Photoshop CC, or under Da vinci Resolve, depending on the video clip. Generally, I modify the duration for timelapses or cinematographs, prepared under Photoshop CC and saved in MP4 format. Then I convert the video clip using PTE video converter, but at this level, I no longer make any duration variation. If I am not convinced by the result, I go back to Photoshop and redo all the process, in order to keep the optimal quality. So you're right, I never use the speed variation under PTE, and I recomand to my trainees to never use it.

Wideangle You're right; The two situations are different. The point rised by Goddi is not a bug. It is just a feature which could be improved in adding a chek box as Goddi suggested in his second message. Igor will decide what is the value and the priority of this improvement, wich look very minor from my point of view, and I explained why: we include a limited number of video clips in our slideshows, and not necessarely as main object of a slide.

Gary, please consider that many of us include in a single slide one or several video clips which are not the main image of the slide, and the duration of each video clip is shorter than the duration of the slide itself. Please have a look at this slideshow. My first animated slide (#2) has a duration of 51s and includes 5 short video clips extracts. Please consider that the use of a video-clip as the main object of a view is just a lazy way to proceed, and may be a marginal one. This is why many of us will not support your suggested improvement.

I tried with the styles I created personnaly and even the more complex ones work fine with video clips. When the same image is used several times in a single slide, you have to modify manualy each instance to declare it at a Single video clip. There is no other problem.

Great explanation and demonstration !

This is the way I proceed almost every day.

Hi. I put a lot of text in my slides, and I have no problem with the size because I first create a template and then duplicate it. Generally my text object is left justified and the center is set to -100,-100 (Top left corner), so all text objects have the same size and are alined on the same point. I admit it is a workaround, but it works. MY SUGGESTION It woulld be very usefull to have some kind of "text style" or "text template". We would be able to select a text, and then we apply a template, with correct size, correct alignment and correct Center position.

Igor. I can't reporduce this problem to-day. Sorry for disturbing you for nothing.

It's a good idea to want to perform systematic tests, combining all possible options, and all PTE users will take benefit of it. May I suggest you to include the extension name directly in the file name ? As it is a special need for special use, may be you will accept this solution.

Generally I use the options "Wait for Key press to show next slide" or "Loop this slide" when I prepar a project for a lecture. Sometimes I decide to select all the slides and change them to "Show next slide after indicated time interval" just to see how the global project runs. Under PTE 8 no problem, but under PTE 9 when I modify this parameter, all the slide durations are modified and become aligned on the duration of the first slide. Would it be possible to modify the behaviour of several slides without changing the duration of each slide?

Goddi, could you please explain us the artistical (or expressive) interest to put different vues with the same video clip in different formats in a PTE show ? I see the interest for a technical test, but not for a "real" project. May be I am missing something...

Thank you Igor.

Hi Igor. This is what I do but now I an not able even to connect to Youtube via PTE, so I can't generate anything. I tried to use the two password process but it is the same thing. It would be nice if you add in the dialog box an option: "Generate project for Youtube on your hard disk, then transfer it to Youtube manually" this woull be usefull also for people having a narrow bandwith, and needing 60 minutes to tansfer a 10 minute project.

The simpliest way is to use the standard tool from Windows.

I stopped to create DVD video because I encountered too many problems under PTE_8.
