A slightly more sophisticated construction: Simple_Circle.zip

It happens again and again. The original poster asks for a particular feature, here "Text size". It might be helpful to present lots of workarounds, but they should be posted in seperate topics! Otherwise, the original topic looses its way.

I think, we already have a parameter for text size that is compatible with PTE's object model: It is just the Zoom value of a single line. Of course there is a problem. If we add additional lines and change the Line spacing, the "text size" does not show up any more. My suggestion: There should be an additional box (beside Alignment and Line spacing in the text object's Properties) showing the corresponding Zoom value for a single line. One may call it "text size". So, entering some lines of text, the value for Line spacing and the Text size would (automatically) determine the text's Zoom value.

Is there any new information regarding "Blending Modes"?

What about publishing a short YouTube video showing your transitions?

For me, the mask option looks like a workaround; blending modes typically are parameters of the objects, and Photoshop shows us a model that is compatible with trees of PTE-objects that are rendered independently.

In my opinion, PTE shoul behave in a similar way as Photoshop (PS). In PTE we have nested structures using the Parent-Child-Construction. In PS we obtain nested structures of layers using (nested) Groups, and we have a kind of correspondence between the PTE-Parent-Objects and particular PS-Groups. It seems to me that PTE could use the PS blending mechanism. Regarding blending, groups of PS seem to be rendered independently if you avoid "Pass through". Furthermore, blending of parent objects in PTE and blending of the corresponding groups in PS should be the same. Perhaps, as a first step, you may study the situation where all groups and all parent objects have mode "Normal". Applying this method to your example above, Img2 would be multiplied with Img1 (overlapping parts) inside the Parent-Child-Group, but not with the black background image. It would just cover the background, provided that the blending mode of Img1 is "Normal".

We hear two strong rhythms, the music and the clicks. Unfortunately, they don't match, which makes it difficult to listen to. A sequence perhaps for non-musicians and bad dancers. Sorry!

Create a project with just one slide which shows your problem. Create a Backup in Zip, and post it here.

Open your project / save it using a new name (this helps to keep your original project) / open the new project / make a right click into the Slide List / choose random order / create an Executable file for PC

Typical candidates for producing AV-Shows and offering speaker support are Wings X, and m.objects. Speaker support includes preview of images and notes for the speaker, and asynchronous audio that can be played during sections with manual control.

It really is a pity that PTE is missing some crucial functions for live presentations. For preview and notes (as requested by Bruno), I use a workaround: Preview images and notes are on PDF documents, and I open these documents (using a portable version of SumatraPDF) via the Run command in the slide options using scripts for NirCmd. I hope that time will come with new versions of PTE, and with enhanced support for live presentations.

It isn't that easy. For curling or rolling images you have to cut the images into stripes and work with parent-child-constructions. You may have a look at some older styles here. They do not cover your problem, but they show at least what kind of work is to be done. 😊

Timeline scaling in O&A has been asked for quite a long time. Maybe we will see it in Version 12 that hopefully will be released some day (?).
