A remark first: KFSD and Non-KFSD aren't project attributes. For each slide we can define (in slide options) if it is KFSD or not. In Settings>Preferences>Project we only predefine what newly added slide will be, we do not change existing slides. What is kept, and in what way? Assume that slide x is set to KFSD. Then the so-called "full duration" (classical duration plus transition time of the next slide) of slide x is preserved (as long as it is possible) in the following cases: (1) We change the order of slides in the slide list; (2) We change transition times via slide options. Keeping the full duration does not always work. If slide x gets a (possibly) new successor whose incoming transition is longer than the original full duration of slide x, the situation will get out of order. Why is it being "kept"? Maybe that slide x contains a video or an animation that needs the full duration, who will know that Regards, jt

That's quite normal. When highlighting a slide, the cursor jumps to the end of the transition. This is the position where you start to see this slide without any part of the previous one. If it would go to the start of the transition, you would see (in most cases) the previous slide. jt

When creating an AVI using "MPEG4-ASP video with AAC audio" (as with former versions) I still get a video with AC3 audio Regards, jt

When creating an AVI using "Custom video and audio codecs", then on my German system (Win 8.1) the small window for customizing the video compressing always shows in German, independent of the language settings of my PTE main program. In the attached image: Main program is set to English, the small window is shown in German. jt

File size refers to the size of images. Size of Exe file does not seem to exist any longer. Regards, jt PS: You have edited your post while I was writing

Thanks, Lin. I am going to ask Jean-Cyprien about it. Regards, jt

Do you know the link? Regards, jt

Just a remark: You can avoid the missing Umlaut in "Froehliche Weinachten" (which should read "Fröhliche Weihnachten") by saying "Frohe Weihnachten", while inserting the missing letter "h" (in Weihnachten) Regards, jt

Question: What do people who buy PTE for their company with a tax ID number? They typically do not need to pay VAT. Regards, jt

Thanks, it is very interesting to see that. You must be person with infinite patience. Best regards, jt

I think that it does. If my observation will hold in the end (the soundtrack is unified, and it will either run completely synchronized, or completely un-synchonized) then you will have trouble. In the start section you want to run the sequence in an un-synchronized mode, while in the end section you want to have a synchronized start of a slide and a corresponding audio clip. I fear that this will not work. You seem to have a similar problem as the one that has been addressed here, and you could use the workaround that I have proposed in this topic (post #10), using 2 concatenated shows. jt

Look at my post above. Some competitors work that way. jt

Simple resizing, of course, cannot be the solution. If PTE would offer some kind of resizing it had to be more intelligent. A possible solution could be as follows: The user introduces (perhaps large) images to some PTE project. PTE would never use these images directly but would always work with copies (more or less calculated automatically). First, these copies could be made according to the present monitor with respect to zoom parameters, monitor size and color profile. In case when the user changes some zoom parameters, or changes the monitor, part of the copies had to be recalculated. In case when the user wants to generate an Exe version of the show he might enter screen parameters and color information about the system where the show is going to be presented, and PTE would (automatically) produce the corresponding image data (based on the originals). jt

A major difference between v7 and v8: In the old version we have a soundtrack, and additional sound comments. The soundtrack can run synchronized or not, while comments always run synchronized, and they start with a particular slide. In the new version we have just one common soundtrack that either plays synchronous or not. Linking is just a process to define the position of an audio clip relative to the start of a particular slide, but the clip is a normal part of the soundtrack. So the audio system is different now. jt

What about a tutorial or a demo project about "realistic" rotating planets jt

Did you try to run the your show as a Safe Executable? jt

Keep in mind that hiberfil.sys may become very large in your case! On most machines today, OS and software are placed on an SSD. Regards, jt

One may ask the question why didn't you (a very experienced user) find this feature in Beta9? One reason may be that it is by no means obvious to make a double-click on the audio clip's name or to look for the context menu. Here we see another feature that is not that easy to find. In another topic of this forum section people have a discussion on user friendliness ..... jt

See here. jt

In my opinion, JEB's suggestions are fine. But PTE could offer another optional service: When creating a zip-backup, it could suggest the user to insert the images with identical names in renamed versions (with some obvious renaming), while changing the project file appropriately. jt

My observation: jt

In Audacity it does. During play, the maximum is indicated. If clipping occurs, red color shows up. jt

I would regard this to be very useful! At present time we do not see if the overall soundtrack has some clipping. The proposed meter should show this. jt

Some versions 1.3.x do, versions 1.4 and later do not. jt
