PTE V12.1 Experience

[Alex55]

Hi everybody,

I 've built my first Project using PTE AV Studio V. 12.1 recently.

Here's a short summary.

Overall the App fills much more responsive.

The export movie render time is decreases significantly.

Finally we got rid of that pesky problem locating same file in different locations. .That's great!

Blend Mode works wonderfully to me, opening much more possibilities .

The creating backup project takes less time.

The only one problem I've found so far was randomly unresponsive timeline head while Stop and Go playing the timeline.

While manual scrubbing the timeline goes smoothly.

I still run Quad core on Win7, so that's might be the reason.

I'd appreciate if someone try to feedback me.

I think the Team  made a great job on keeping move this great App ahead of competitors.

Thank you!

@Alex55   I am totally enthused with Igor's latest marvel, PTE 12 !  I have used PTE from the very begining, but have not been active in the Forum in recent years.  Late last night I logged in to Wnsoft and noted with excitement the release of Version 12. I immediately read Igor's What's New, and was even more excited!  My memory quickly went back to years ago being totally engaged waiting, and being some modest help to Igor, as Version 3.4 or 4.3 was about to be the latest and greatest.

My late-into-the-night PTE project went very smoothly, while  opening my eyes to how many features I can now try to learn and use.  Igor is truly a genius, evidenced repeatedly over the years.  His technical skills AND his ability and willingness to be in touch and respond to PTE Users is unmatched anywhere.

I am totally in agreement with your listed experience and observations!  I did have a little trouble with the timeline responsiveness, but had thought it was perhaps my slower laptop, that I don't normally use for PTE.

Please compare the same project on the old V11.
Also check the Main menu > Settings > Preferences. Timeline tab. Are you using "Auto scroll - Style 1" or "Style 2"? 
"Style 2" mode puts more stress on the graphics due to continuous scrolling and the cursor being centered.

LumenLux,

Thanks for your comment, glad to see you again!

Igor,

Thanks for the suggestions.

Under old V11 the Project plays more responsively and smoothly.

Of course it doesn't looks right because of the Blend Mode.

It is in Style 1 mode. It's getting worth under  Style 2.

And I have to say I got better play after update to the V12.2.

 Thanks again

Alex
