The zoom value refers to the height of the text box, not to the seize of the font. Start by writing each text in a single line; then adjust the zoom, and only then use mouse and return key to create the texts with more than one line. If line spacing is set to zero, a 2-line text should have double zoom.

Sounds like you are using manual save? I have auto save every 15 minutes set. I know it's too late now but I well remember back in the old days when Ken's favourite saying when someone had a problem "Jesus Saves"!
In many cases I have not been that happy with Ken's remarks. Auto save is quite a dangerous feature. Sometimes you make changes on a project, and some time later you regret having done them; but Auto save has already overwritten the original version. I normally work with some kind of simple version management, just by saving the project again and again, always using new names (MyProject_01, MyProject_02 ...).

Sorry, but I did not refer to Open Office, but to Audacity. In Audacity, the history can easily be interpreted, and its much easier to go back several steps at the same time. BTW: I would regard OpenOffice as outdated. It cannot compare to LibreOffice.

PTE offers us the buttons "Undo" and "Redo". Hence, PTE maintains some kind of history. It would be fine if the future version would give us a history list (as we know it from Audacity). The process of undoing would be much more comfortable.

Thanks, it really works, but in complicated situations, a lot of additional work is to be done. An example is shown here.

I have modified my style, and using Igor's remarks on data exchange, I could also transform it into a transition.

It would be fine if it were possible to exchange data between the editors for transitions and O&A.
Example 1: I have a slide with 2 main images, and I would like to copy the objects of this slide from the O&A Editor into the Transition Editor, and there I would like to replace the 2 main images by "Slide1" and "Slide2".
Example 2: I have a custom transition, and I would like to copy the objects of this transition from the Transition Editor into the O&A Editor of some slide, and I would like to replace Slide1 and Silde2 by some (main) images.

Trimming a video using the converter does not really provide a copy, as the result will be re-encoded. You can avoid re-encoding by trimming using the free software "LosslessCut".

... I don't see why in future versions it would have to cause problems since it's something so simple ... Excuse my English ...
As I said, it is a clever idea. On the other hand, the object "Mask (Circle)" is an internal object of a mask construction. At present time, it nicely works outside (as an image object). If this will work in future versions, I don't know; perhaps Igor will know it
No problem with your English, I am not a native speaker either.

Now for a really basic question. How do I get the mask to show white? No matter how I try with the circular mask template I get a transparent circle. How do I get it white?
My recommendation: First, have a look Javier's video, and also at https://docs.pteavstudio.com/en-us/10.0/how_to_v9/mask
If there are further questions, don't hesitate to ask
In your case (when you see the transparent circle), in order to obtain a white (or colored) circle: Highlight "Mask Content" and insert a rectangle (top row, symbol to the right of "T"); choose Fill mode and Color(s).

... to create the border use the same mask that you have the copies and put it below and extend it to make the border ...
Your construction of an image with an oval border is a bit simpler than mine. You avoid the second mask container by using a copy of the standard mask (circle) as an image object. It actually works, and its clever, but on the other hand, it is an undocumented use of this kind of mask, and you cannot be sure that it will work in future versions of PTE. Good luck
-
I don't see a straightforward method to create oval borders in PTE. You may try the method used in the attached project.

You may have a look here

Did you ever try Affinity Photo, not that expensive, and not that bad?
-
AFAIK this is a feature of version 4 and perhaps of earlier versions. I have been using PTE since version 5, and I have never noticed the fade to desktop.
-
I would like to see two kinds of blur: Blur 1 (as we have it today) which makes the image border blurry and partially transparent, and Blur 2 which blurs the image like Photoshop while keeping a sharp border (and which would work together with PTE's border function)
Of course, the vignette in case of images that (largely) cover the screen should be avoided.

I hope that I got it correctly: You have a (synchronized) sequence of slides, and then you delete 1 or 2 slides. Now you want to have a function that extends the new sequence to the original duration while all slide durations, animations, transition times etc. keep the proportions.
Sorry, but in most cases I would not regard this procedure as a good one. Typically you synchronize your transition points according to the music. A natural way is to place them at beat 1 in the corresponding bar. This order would be destroyed when you would apply the function that you want to see (and which you regard as a "missing" one). The transition points would be shifted to (more or less) random positions relative to the music. At least people with an education in music or dancing would not like it that much.
On the other hand. I really would like to see the feature of stretching or compressing a sequence of slides (while keeping proportions), but only if the soundtrack could stretched or compressed at the same time. This would keep the transition points at the correct positions, and we could modify the overall duration of a given sequence without loosing synchronization.

I also noticed that the Forum Search does not work well. I often get 0 results, even though l know that some results must exist.

You may set the opacity of the given first key frame to 0, and move this key frame to the right (to the position of your second key frame). Use another key frame to set opacity to 100.
Moiree-effect in PTE 10
in General Discussion
Posted
I've just had a look at Paul's image at a screen seize of 1804x1200, using XnView, IrfanView and PTE. All three programs show different Moiré effects. They seem to use different methods for resampling. For this particular image, XnView is slightly better than PTE, while IrfanView is significantly better, almost avoiding the Moiré effect. Resizing the image to 1804x1200 in Photoshop and viewing the result at 100% gives about the same Moiré effect as with XnView.
