PicturesToExe Deluxe 6.5

[Igor]

That option which Peter and I are suggesting is exactly what you need.

AbdolReza,

I have modifed your project file with the values that I suggested in my post above and have attached it. Open this project using v6.5 and I think it will work as you want it to.

regards,

Peter

AbdolReza,

my project can fixed and immovable until clicking on hyperlinks on this page also controlling the other slides work with clicking on hyperlinks on page 1 not clicking mouse keys or keyboard key exactly like a software !

Peter's sample could work exactly like you want ... you need only set both Mouse buttons to None.

Also disable use of the Keyboard so users cannot advance.

You need only apply the correct settings to achieve the result you specified.

I am noticing a subtle difference in the faded transitions on a slide show demo I have just made with version 6.5. It seems to me that when the fade starts, there is a momentary jump as though the fade is starting fast and then the fade returns to normal speed. I thought it was my eyes letting me down at first, but I am sure there is something not quite right. The demo I am making is of a show I have made before so I am used to seeing these images with this music. Of course the content of an image will make a fade look a little different at times, but I wasn't happy with the fades.

I tried a reboot of the PC and I see the same thing in both a PTE preview or via the exe. I saved the files to zip and brought it up on another completely different PC (my new 64 bit machine) and I notice the same problem there.

As best I could, I then recreated the slide show using PTE 6 with all the images in the same order and I CANNOT now see the fault. Obviousy I couldnt make an exact copy of the show in PTE6 because I used the sound editing of 6.5

I have placed the zip file on my web site at http://www.beckhamdigital.co.uk/ptetest.zip

NB Can I remind anyone who downloads this that the music is copyright and should not be used.

Barry,

Yes, I see slight jumps at the beginning of Fade In/Out effect in your sample show. But same in versions 6.5 and 6.0.

The reason in fact that you have disabled "Hardware acceleration" option in the Screen tab of the Project options. Without support of a video card we can't guarantee smooth transitions. Please turn on again this option and Fade In/Out effect will be smooth as silk.

[Barry Beckham]

Igor

I feel like a Jackass, the disablement of the acceleration was done accidently and as I never turn it off, I never thought to look for that. I am releaved in some way as I thought I had found a a problem in 6.5

Do you have a padlock so I can lock that little box shut :-)

[Igor]

Barry,

No problem!

Indeed there should be a warning message when someone turns off this option.

I have PTE version 5.5,do I have to pay again to upgrade to 6.5?

Does inclusion of a sound facility mean that it is no longer necessary to use Audacity with 6.5?

Thank you

[davegee]

You would only need to pay again if you need to renew a VIDEOBUILDER license.

Your basic PTE license is for life.

The AUDIO facilities in V6.5.2 are for basic editing of MP3 tracks and allows you to adjust Start Time, Duration Fade In, Fade Out etc for individual tracks in a mix as well as control the overall volume.

For most the facilities are adequate, but it is obviously not as versatile as Audacity, Audition, Soundbooth etc.

Since it will cost you absolutely nothing to upgrade to V6.5.2 you might as well go ahead and try out these facilities for yourself. Much has been written about the Audio Facilities and a quick search will reveal much more.

This thread might be of help:

Yes its great news for PC users - but! The seasons come and go and autumn is upon us here in the UK. That was when I was promised a Mac version. Please can WnSoft be more specific about the long awaited release. Apple sales figures are hitting the roof in the UK!!

Mac version

Igor also spoke briefly about the Mac version. It is coming along but the scale of the project is very large for such a small company. Their desire is to have just one set of source code that is common to both the Windows version and the Mac version. To make this possible they have had to learn a new programming language and are having to totally re-write all of PTE in this new language. Another major challenge for the team! The native Mac version will not be part of PTE v7.0.

in future please post MAC questions in the MAC section

Thank you Ken for pointing this out. Needless to say I am delighted for all the Windows users. As I have previously mentioned I am stunned by the professional quality of this product and thereby disappointed that having been promised an Autumn release that it is not forthcoming. Regarding the posting, I thought I was simply adding to the above strand of discussions. However, I take note of your warning.

Kind regards from Kent, UK

Harri

if you knew what we went thru to get a MAC section, for the MAC user questions, you would understand my request -- NOT a warning

Prior the the MAC section, Mac questions were scattered all over -- another challenge was getting the section for ideas for next beta -- we still get ideas mixed in with a thread -- not much chance to get your idea noticed if it is mixed in with a very long thread

A Bug or my system?

Can someone confirm this please using 6.5.2

Add three images to the slide list in the usual way, lets say you have three images 001.jpg, 002.jpg and 003.jpeg

Highlight slide 002 and using the option "Change Image File" swap 002 for 001

So in the slide list we now have 001, 001, 003

Highlight the 001 you changed (previously 002) and go into the O&A screen

On my PC the images display as the correct image, ie 001 is seen but the name in the Object box shows the original name 002

Is this a problem on my PC or a bug

[fh1805]

Barry,

Neither! Its the way PTE works. In order to get the name to change in the Object list in the O&A window you have to replace the image file via the Properties tab in O&A window. If this behaviour is different to previous versions of PTE I guess it is as a consequence of being able to assign names to slide for use by the "Go to Slide <name>" action.

regards,

Peter

I didn't appreciate that and a little klaxon was obviously sounding as I wanted my findings confirmed

Thanks

[canico]

Thank you davegee for your reply.

I have tried to download 6.5 from the link in message no. 43 but nothing happened.Can anyone please advise me how to get it?

I am very much a beginner to AV

If you cannot get the link to work by clicking it ... try right-clicking it and select Save Target As

V6.5.2 also available at WnSoft home site

That does not appear to be right. However I replace a file the old name stays in the O&A screen and is very confusing. Use the O&A or the main screen.

[canico]

Thanks nobeefstu for your reply

When I tried your sggestion to right click on the link I got a page that said my 45 day trial had expired.When I tried the main website all I could see was an invitation to a trial period.

When I bought 5.5 it was a download and I do not have a disc - how does the system know I am a paid up customer?

Thanks again

[davegee]

Canico,

When you click on the link in #43 it will give a "Download or Open" box in which you choose to DOWNLOAD.

When you get it on your computer, unzip the file and double-click on the executable to install.

If your existing 5.5 is a fully working version i.e. registered, the new version will recognise this and install without asking for a reg key. You are installing on the same machine as the machine with 5.5 on?

I am guessing that you have never upgraded to VIDEOBUILDER so that part of the 6.5 version will not work but the basic version will.

[canico]

Many thanks again davegee! - I have got it now and looking forward to trying the new features.
