The Video File name is the same as the Project Name and the location will default to the same as the Project location.
Motion Blur simulates an exposure in a video camera and fast moving objects will be blurred.
Motion Blur option is applied only to animations of PTE objects (not for video clips).
You can adjust 2 parameters:
1. Exposure (in milliseconds). We recommend 10 ms.
2. This parameters affects to a quality of Motion blur. A higher value gives better visual result. I recommend to use 20-30 frames for normal cases.
Using of Motion Blur option slow downs video encoding by 2-3 times.
All professional video editors offer Motion Blur option for video output. All professional computer graphics clips and movies use Motion Blur effect.
You can use the PTE project to test Motion Blur: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/Push.zip
Examples:
With “Hardware acceleration” option PTE AV Studio uses hardware video encoder from graphics card (NVIDIA, AMD or Intel).
Benefits: usually works faster, CPU is not used, CPU stays cool and silent.
Negative effect: visual quality worse, file size larger by 5-10%.
Hardware acceleration gives better visual quality on NVIDIA graphics (Geforce 1030 or newer) than on AMD / Intel.
It is recommended to use Hardware acceleration for a draft (or preview). Or when you encode very long project and you want to save time. Hardware encoder is especially useful for producing 4K video to save time.
Note the Information:
HW encoder is available in Macs with Apple Silicon chips (M1, M2, etc).
Click Convert to start the encoding. The Progress Window is shown below:
When the encoding is completed you can view the video on a PC. Media Player Classic - Home Cinema is recommended for PC. You can also transfer the file to a USB device and view the video with the USB Device plugged into a suitably equipped Television or Blu Ray Player connected to a Television via HDMI.

If the currently open project has not been edited since opening then you will be taken directly to the VideoBuilder interface. If the currently open project was created in an earlier version and not edited, it is recommended that you Save As a different version before entering the VideoBuilder.
If the currently open project was edited after opening then you will be prompted to Save the Project before continuing. You cannot proceed without saving so if you want to keep the original project intact then a Save As is required.
