+====== Time-lapse Video ======
+…… or "Pseudo Time-lapse" Video in a PTE Slide Show.
+Most DSLR's will allow the creation of Video Clips of around 20 minutes or more in various formats e.g. MOV.
+It is possible, in PTE Version 9, to compress that 20 minutes or more into a Pseudo Timelapse video which is 2.5 minutes or even shorter at a high quality.
+    * Convert your original MOV Video Clip to the necessary AVI format using the PTE converter at 100% quality
+    * Add to the Slide List
+    * In Objects and Animation/Properties click on "Adjust Time Range" and set the SPEED to 200%
+    * Note the new Duration of the Video Clip
+    * Transfer this New Duration to the Video Clip in the Slide List in the Duration Box
+    * Click on Publish and Output the Video Clip as an AVI at 100% quality
+You will now have an AVI which runs at twice the speed of the original and for half of the original duration.
+    * Add this AVI to the Slide List - you will not be asked to convert
+    * Repeat the above steps in Objects and Animation
+    * Publish as an AVI at 100% once again
+You will now have an AVI which runs at four times the speed of the original and for a quarter of the original duration.
+    * You can repeat the whole process as many times as you wish while keeping a careful watch on the quality
+    * When you have reached your optimum Duration / Speed, Output the File as an MP4
+Fast moving clouds over a stunning landscape, Sunsets, Trains and Boats and Planes, people rushing about in cityscapes - all good ways to use "Pseudo Timelapse".
+If you want a longer video you can "chain" 20 minute Video Clips (given the above treatment) together
+For Time Lapse which spans a 1 - 24 Hour period or more I would suggest that other methods are more suitable.
