jmG-06100 Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Bug report: I have created (with PTE 9.0.19) an animation with a background picture and three heads appearing / disappearing. This effect is lost in the EXE file, and in the full size preview. However it works fine with the MP4 file (great!) with 1920 x 1080 pixels and in small screen preview on top right during the preparation. It does NOT work with a 4K video file (MP4) output in 3840 x 1920 pixels. This is maybe (probably !) due to the excessive (?) picture size of the heads (5046 x 2838 pixels), which I wanted to be 4K UHD (but I made a mistake). With the latest TV screens displaying 4K, this compatibility could be explored for the benefit of all. Best regards Jean-Marc G. My demo files being bigger than the allowed 2.13 MB, they can be found (for a while) on: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/h4vzzktggqs6rw4/AABtgmDWaTXF3TM8Cbu61ukUa?dl=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkb Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Jean-Marc, Are your heads a .png? If so then you need to make them much smaller file size. Large .png files do not show in exe & Full screen preview. Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the heads are in png, so that they have transparency around them, and indeed I made these few files much too big by mistake. File size: 1.4 MB to 2.3 MBytes. I'm glad to know that it's a known limitation, well beyond my real needs anyway. Would a proper 4K size (3840 x 2160 pixels) be OK? In practice I now use mostly the MP4 files directly on the TV via a memory stick, so that I'm not too hampered. Thanks again for the diagnosis.

denisb Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 I try your project: exe and 4K mp4 video show a good animation. I have an I7 7700K and Nvidia graphic card GTX 1070 and maybe your PC or graphic card show some limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmG-06100 Posted September 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Thank you Denis B, for this additional information. My PC is getting a bit old, it's true. Bought in june 2014 with several upgrades (mainly more disc space). My graphic card is an Nvidia GeForce GTX 750/PCIe/SSE2. It's good to know that with my next generation PC, the current limitation with my EXE will vanish. Thank you all for looking at my problem. CONCLUSION: Not a bug in the software, only hardware limitations with my computer at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
