A question on features of V 12

[Ghulya]

So, if I understand correctly, the new release 12 does not implement multiple levels of video/image, as well as multi-track sound: is that right?

Thanks

No, it's not ready for V12. Sorry. We've started the work on this code, but multiple slide tracks are still far from complete.
It will a huge change for the interface, the project, and the entire PTE, this is why we've been working on it for so long.

[Ghulya]

So, should I assume that V 12 is, in fact, a sort of general upgrade (bug fix?) while we wait for an XYZ version to be released in a few years with more video/image tracks and the ability to mix layers like in Photoshop?

Thanks

Gulya,
I respect your opinion, but I cannot agree. Version 12.0 includes significant improvements, new features, and effects, with 1-2 more major features which we plan to include before the final release.
Multiple slide tracks are complex feature that affects PTE's core. We're working on it, and it will arrive when it's ready.
The upgrade price for V12 will be reasonable ($36-49), and unlike many others, we don't use subscriptions. Users can choose to upgrade to V12 or continue to use V11, which we actively maintain.

More than just agreeing or disagreeing, there are certain views and expectations that I’m not convinced by. Of course, the final beta will clear things up, but in the meantime, I’d like to understand if the Video Optimizer will remain a standalone feature or if it will be effectively integrated into V12?

Thanks
