??? Add an English translation!

This is difficult to judge for a given project. You may have changed the settings between the start of the project and now.

Regarding your settings (with "Show full slide duration"), it does not look strange to me. The classical length of your slides seems to be 3.5 which gives a "full duration" of 5.0 for all slides followed by another one with a transition time of 1.5, and obviously the last slide then shows 3.5 as full duration.

I would guess that you can use it with animated GIFs and similar objects

Presently we have to type the input for a Text Object (the text to be shown) into a text box in O&A. That's OK, but I would like an additional way for the text input: PTE should allow to specify a text file (*.TXT) containing the input (as an optional replacement for the text box). This would be very helpful if a project contains the same text object many times, and which the user would like to modify.

... as an option: OK, but not mandatory.

I don't see this effect on my rather old computer from 2013 (i7 CPU, NVIDIA 660, Windows 22H2, WUXGA Monitor).

Thanks, here is a slightly corrected version: German.ini BTW, I normally use the English version

I have used on top of the displacement map frames of the following kind: Grauer_Rahmen_30-20_16zu9.zip

Version 11 does not show German expressions correctly if they contain an Umlaut (Ä,ä,Ü,ü,Ö,ö) Version 11: Version 10.5:

Recommendation for the original poster: Prepare a small one slide project with you problem, prepare a backup in zip, and publish it here.

You could have noticed that my "suggestion" has not been a really serious one (as I said: Surely not the solution that Bad Dancer would like very much). I wonder if WnSoft would like to extend the concept of Main Images (which are the input objects of Styles) to text objects, or if they may think of introducing something new that would satisfy Bad Dancer's requirements. Good luck

Use text images with transparent background (surely not the solution you would like very much)

I think that there are several reasons why internal objects (rectangles, frames, texts, ...) cannot be main images. In your special case, you may highlight all your (identical) text objects (e.g. using the Ctrl. key), and you can (simultaneously) enter a new text, font, shadow, ... If you want to change the size (Zoom), you must highlight the corresponding keyframes.

BTW, I would not regard this "effect" as a problem (for me)

In principle, you are right. Nevertheless, an empty box is confusing. And when you just click on the blue slider, "0" is shown in the box. The said effect is to be seen whenever the three color values coincide.

Another observation (V 11, Beta 9): If I set R, G, and B to 255, the the box for H (hue) remains empty:

What do you mean by "indexing images"?

For a curved trajectory for the text you may work with oscillation modifiers (versions 10 and 11). Alternatively, with version 11 you may try to work with 3 or 4 keyframes and the new modifier Smooth Move. The line along the coast: Here I would work with a mask.

That's true, but you cannot add or change modifiers for several highlighted keyframes

Why?

I've just made a few tests, and they worked well.
