What's New in PTE AV Studio 12 Pro:

Sound Object & Built-in Library

Create engaging slideshows with impactful sound effects. The new Sound object lets you play short audio files to enhance your slideshows and AV shows. Choose from our built-in Sound Library with camera shutters, clicks, page turns, and whooshes - or import your own custom audio files. Add whoosh sounds for fast transitions, subtle clicks when images appear, or any other short audio effects that bring your slideshow to life. Adjust sound volume for individual video clips and sound objects with precision. https://docs.pteavstudio.com/en-us/12.0/objectsandanimation_1/properties_tab

Voice Recording on Mac

Mac users can now record voice-overs directly in PTE AV Studio without external tools.

Slow-Motion and Video Speed Control

Take complete control over video playback. Adjust video speed using key points - speed up, slow down, or freeze the action exactly where you need it. Insert pauses inside your video clips to emphasize key moments. The new frame interpolation creates smooth slow-motion effects by blending frames together, eliminating jerky playback when slowing down your footage. https://docs.pteavstudio.com/en-us/12.0/video/main

Modern Video Formats and AV1 Encoder

Create content for social media and the web. PTE AV Studio 12 adds full support for vertical video (9:16 for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels) and square format (1:1 for Instagram posts). New resolutions including 2560×1440, 1080×1920, 720×1280, and 1080×1080 cover all modern platforms. The “Auto” resolution preset automatically matches your project settings for quick exports. The revolutionary AV1 encoder produces videos up to 50% smaller than H.264 while maintaining the same visual quality - perfect for web publishing. The improved Video Export interface with “Show/Hide Advanced Options” keeps things simple yet powerful. The “Fast decode (web)” option creates optimized videos for quick loading and playback on your website. You can even pause video encoding and resume later. https://docs.pteavstudio.com/en-us/12.0/main_menu_1/publish#hd_and_4k_video

Chromatic Displacement map adds glitch effects and distortions for modern, eye-catching visuals. The Instant speed modifier disables interpolation between keyframes for snappy, precise animations. Blur and Unsharp mask can now be adjusted separately for parent and child objects. https://docs.pteavstudio.com/en-us/12.0/objectsandanimation_1/masks#blending_modes
