Igor,

I am spending a bit of time trying to get to grips with the music options which I must say are very impressive.

I know that there will be further enhancements in later editions which may impact to a greater or lesser degree on the present methodology. I feel that I would like to understand the present arrangement in as much detail as I can in order to use it to its full.

I have spent some time trying to get to grips with the Music Tab in Project Options. I notice that there would appear to be some discrepancy between the times displayed for clips and tracks as they are shown in the Music Tab as compared to the Properties Tab. It appears that the Music Tab does not round up or down consistently resulting in conflicting times being displayed in certain situations. If this could be addressed I believe it could erase a possible area for confusion.

Regards

John

Igor,

I notice a little thing that still has to do with that thin red line in the floating waveform. When you have played the audio and the red line is completely at the end of the waveform, and then you stretch the waveform to the max, the red line is not visible on the far right end. If you already know how to find it, it might not be a big deal. But it might cause concern for those who are just starting to use it, and wonder where it went to. This is another reason for putting a red handle on the red line. It would really make it easier to find...and move.

Thanks... Gary

Andrew,

When you join in a PTE beta programme you learn how to run very fast in order to stay in one place! But it is fun, isn't it?

Hello,

I'm a new user of PTE. I'm working with the beta12.

I find this soft very powerful and I'm far away from using all functionalities but there is something strange

with the synchronisation of audio and pictures (or maybe I miss something in the options?) in the following cases:

When you start a preview from the current view at an offset of 5 minutes for example, the audio starts from the beginning of the first track

(taking account the offset of this first track.

When you run the .exe and when you do a pause or a forward or a backward, the audio tracks continue without doing a pause or a forward or a backward.

The beta 13 seems to behave the same.

Peter,

Thanks for your fast answer,

You're right, the "Synchronize music and slides" was unticked.

I've downloaded the User Manual But I misunderstanded the role of this option.

I re-read the FAQ, this functionnality is clear now (I hope so).

regards

Bruno

Bruno,

Welcome to PTE and the PTE forum.

In Project Options|Main do you have "Synchronize music and slides" ticked? Did you add the music via Project Options|Music? Have you downloaded and read the User Manual? Have you read the "Frequently Asked Questions" section of the forum? http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=10505

regards,

Peter

Bonjour,

Oui je suis français.

Je démarre avec un diaporama de 150 photos et 10 pistes audio.

Je suis donc pas mal occupé et j'ai raté le sens de cette fonction.

(je n'avais pas eu le problème avec la version 6.0 et une piste audio, l'option devait être cochée)

Désolé pour avoir encombré le post des version Beta.

Cordialement

Bruno

Bruno,

Tu parles français ??

Brunos' reply to Aginum in Belgium,

(In English)

Yes I am French....

I start with a slideshow of 150 photographs and 10 audio tracks.

I was quite busy and missed the meaning of this function:-"Synchronize music and slides" was unticked.

I had not had the problem with version 6.0 with an audio track ~ the option (above) should be ticked.

(Refering to the new Beta program)

Sorry to have encumbered the Beta Post.

Cordially

Bruno.

Bruno, I hope this translation helps...

1) Audio editing - First of all, thank you Igor and PTE team for the great improvement in audio editing, our members were very keen to be able to modify sound level. We will wait for next step with the possibility to do the same simultaneously on both sound tracks (background and comments) over a common timeline with slides.

2) No Exif comments - One of our members reported a problem when selecting the Project options/ Comments "Insert template" Jpeg Exif Description and Jpeg Exif Comments, no problem with Exif description but the Jpeg Exif Comments did not appear during the slideshow. She uses different Exif editor softwares but the result was the same. Is there a problem with PTE or with the Exif Editor ? and in this case which one should we use? (was tested with 6.5 beta 10 / XP)

3) Picture size error -

One of our members made a slideshow with animated slides (you will find it, here attached, I have just replaced her pictures by colored ones without other modifications).

She selected Project Options/ Screen/ virtual size of slide = 1280x853, the main slide was also 1280x853 but the others 9 (which should cover the main slide at the end of the animation) where 1920x1280. The color outside slide area is "white" and the background is a "black" solid color.

Then the error of picture size can be seen : during the animation, the slideshow let appear a lane of pixels along the border with the white color and, at the end of the animation, a red line can be seen between the small 9 pictures.

This problem is not a new one , it has been raised several times by JPD.

File test available here

Best regards

Daniel.

Igor,

I have been spending some time exploring the new audio facilities and have the following observation to make which perhaps you would like to comment on.

My observation is to do with the display of the time of a clip in the Audio Clip Properties dialogue box, the Project Options dialogue box and in the clip waveform.

I note that when initially opening a fresh clip of a size equal to or greater than say 17 seconds (e.g. 0:17:001 or 0:17:999) it is displayed as 0:17 in the Project Options dialogue box, yet its actual time is displayed in the Duration location of the Audio Clip Properties dialogue box. Would it not be less confusing if the milliseconds were displayed at both locations? 999 milliseconds is quite a large discrepancy.

Still on this theme, do you think that it would be useful if the actual (original) length of the clip were retained as a displayed piece of data in the Audio Clip Properties Dialogue? As you know the original Duration data changes when either it or the Start time is altered and the only way of telling its approximate original length is by referring to the Waveform Envelope Tool box.

These are just observations that I have found to have been confusing as I try to understand the process. I hope they are of interest and value.

Regards

John

John,

Thanks, we'll display original audio clip duration (e.g. 4:17.356).

Daniel,

2) Thank you, I've recieved you JPEG file with EXIF data. We'll try fix this issue.

3) I think the problem in slide size. The height of the slide 853 pixels and you have 9 pieces (sub-images). So one piece has height 284,33333... which leads to this problem. Try slide height as 852 pixels (852 / 3 = 284.0). Same problem with slide width (1280 / 3 = 426,6666666...)

Thanks Igor - downloaded and installed.

The installation is STILL looking to my BETA 9 installation for authentication even though I have Betas 10,11,12 and 13 installed - is this a problem?

Yes Igor, obviously I agree that could help to use a number of pixels which can be divided by 3 but that requires to resize all the pictures and it seems that does not completely solve the problem :

even if I resize all the pictures at 1920x1278 and 1278x852, I can see an error (test2) which appears at the top and bottom line of my PC screen (1600x900).

I made another test (test3) using a frame as a parent for all the pictures left in their original size (1920x1280 and 1280x853), and in this case the only error which I can see on my PC is a black border line (background) on the sides which is strange as the background color should only cover the specified screen format (1280x853) and in this case should be entirely covered by the pictures and should not be visible at all.

Best regards.

PicturesToExe Deluxe 6.5 Beta 14 is available

===================

Igor,

I just installed Beta 14. I don't know if this is just a quirk that just happened to me or it might be a little bug, but let me explain.

I went to change the Directory to choose the files from a different Drive. I kept trying the One Level Up but I could not find the listing for the Drives (C:\, etc.). Then I happened to move my mouse just to the left of the One Level Up icon (and just to the right of the vertical separator line), and a little gray window appeared with nothing in it until I clicked on it and then the Drives drop-down listing became visible. Initially, that Drive window did not show up until I happened to move my mouse over it. I can not repeat this problem because now the Drive drop-down icon shows up as it should.

I am using Windows 7. Maybe it was just me, but maybe not?

Gary
