Our Basic/Intermediate Tutorials go through the entire menu system on PTE and explain the various functions. We show you how to place slides on the slide list, how to create and use keyframes (keypoints), and how to pan, zoom and rotate your images. We explain and show how to change from linear to non-linear movement and exactly what this means. We explain in detail how layers work with objects, how to use rectangles and frames, the child/parent relationships, how to create eliptical paths, how to use off-center rotation and how to manipulate the XY axis. If these terms sound foreign to you, after viewing our easily understood AVI audio/visual tutorials you will understand them completely. You may see the details of the twelve AVI's which make up the Basic/Intermediate Tutorials in the screen capture from the opening menu below:

The Basic/Intermediate Tutorials will have you up and making beautiful slideshows in minutes!

Our Advanced Tutorials go to the limits and show you how to do complex animations such as using off-center rotation with opacity changes and the parent/child relationships to rotate objects in a wide variety of interesting ways. We show you how to create PNG objects and text using Photoshop or PixBuilder and how to modify text to get complex animations such as the Star Wars effects. We show how to make eliptical orbits such as planets circling the sun.

We show you how to make picture cubes and how use various Photoshop actions to create snow-globes and how to create the falling snow effect. We show you how to make moving clouds, lightning, rain fall, make a watch with background images and move the hands in real time. We show you how to rotate helicopter blades horizontally to create realistic animations. We teach you to make complex text animations and how to use various other inexpensive software to create 3D text in your PTE shows. 

We provide multiple links to free and inexpensive software to help you collect all the tools you need to make truly exceptional slideshows with PTE. These and much more in our Advanced Tutorials.
