Please clarify what you have. Have you exported your codec unlock codes in a small "mfu" file? Plus you need your Product Key for activating on your new pc. Your Product Key can be found in your existing X6 installation by going to Help/Registration Wizard where it's shown at the bottom of the window.
You also need either a disc or an installation file which we'll deal with when you reply to the above.

The phrase “peak shot us” is quite a radical departure from the spoken words “pig shelters”.
I had nothing to do with the captions. Maybe I should try doing my own if it's possible. Yes both Vimeo and YouTube struggled with some of my narration. Approaching 83 years my voice isn't what it used to be and I struggle to get some words out clearly. I spend hours recording, tidying up in Audacity and further fine tuning on my timeline. Audio is the hardest part of video making.
With auto captions I wonder how it would cope with strong accents such as Geordie. As a Londoner I cannot understand a true Geordie! My previous Village Manager was a Geordie but her accent was half watered down so I could understand her

Thanks Gordon. I like the "suspense" music.

I have something new. This is my first venture into writing musical theater.
It's a one hour long Internet MUSICAL Version of Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility" hosted by Jane herself. The show runs one hour and covers the entire book. My hope is that a few of you will find it entertaining enough to see the entire opus.
Please let me know what you think, even if you hate it. I'm feeling that I laid a huge egg !

Well at last I found time to watch a few minutes. Brilliantly done Paul but not something I'll watch right through. I find the AI of Jane unrealistic. Her lip and face movements just aren't human.
Thanks Albert
Some very interesting statues. With a couple of figures there was very little joining them to their base. As for departing through the Gift Shop there's a good reason for that. Did you purchase anything?
Anyway here's a short six minute (yes Alfred six is short) effort of mine. Crystal Mountain.

Thanks Gordon. "Short" is a vague term. Different people have different views on what constitutes "short". Thank you for clarifying that your "short" is two minutes.
GStree wrote:I am having a problem with MoviePlus X6 in that videos that I make are in "perfect" lip-sync, but when I load them up to YouTube they are not. Has anyone got an answer ?
What type of file are you uploading to YouTube and what type of audio stream?
Are any still on YouTube that we could look at to see the problem?
Thanks Albert. One comment - I would have liked the sub title descriptions and shots of the "puns" to stay on the screen longer so I could comfortably read them. Of course I could pause the video to read them but that destroys the pace of the production.
Although my home county is Surrey it meant nothing as the countryside was a long way away, Living in SE24 six miles from Charing Cross we were part of London.
As for escaping I was younger and restless. So on Dec 4, 1970 I left from Heathrow looking for a better life. It was dull and drizzling. In Feb 1984 on my only visit back to UK it was still dull and drizzling. Nothing had changed but now in 2025 the world certainly has.

I even walked around the garden yesterday to stop my camcorder from seizing up to make a two minute plus "epic" https://youtu.be/a4XODMMu8CI !!
Also, one and a half hours condensed into one minute ! I filmed this one in the same garden at the same time, but a year or so back.

Thanks Gordon. What equipment do you use for your timelapse?
Albert Ross wrote:Another bright and sunny day and we decided to journey forth into Surrey to explore the Winkworth Arboretum. Although there were very few leaves on the trees, I found the way the branches turned and twisted made for a very attractive outlook - see if you agree with me? https://youtu.be/JT5NqcAK5Nk Six minutes long.
Thanks Albert. A lot of walking. Surrey was my home county so it's nice to see you pop over there regularly.
Sorry, you've now been degraded to a tropical low and are referred to as "Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred".
I wonder who picks the names for these extreme weather events? This Australian site is interesting https://www.racv.com.au/royalauto/news/ … names.html
Alfred - your namesake is creating havoc across the ditch - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cg5d0z8v0z0o
Geoff, I enjoy Paul's usual videos but I'm sorry something an hour long is too much for me to watch. I don't have the same concentration span that I had when younger.
I've heard the name Jane Austen but I've no idea who she is, or was. I'll look her up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Austen
Thanks Steve. Who, or what, are the three lady statues near the end?
We could use some of your cool weather as it's been warm and humid for weeks now.
Just to clarify - the registration key doesn't activate your software. You need the Product Key for that.
The registration was an optional "extra". Your software will work without registration but you will have to put up with a nag screen. But anyway 881887 will register it for you.
The archive.org link gives a very slow download which could be the problem.
I'm hoping '2ndtonunn' may be able to help you.
It looks like PPX4 may be available out there on the net. This site looks promising https://archive.org/details/serif-pageplus-x4
I didn't investigate further. Maybe it's too good to be true?
2ndtonunn - best not to post serial numbers on a public forum.
Anyway @tati has his/her own so doesn't need it. What is required is a copy of an installation file or disc contents. Are you able to provide that?
Are you sure that the key you have isn’t for a different product?
If @tati can give us just the first eight digits of the PK that will tell us.
881887 is a universal Registration code not the Product Key needed to activate the software. Do you still have your PPX4 Product Key?
If nobody is able to help you with PPX4 I may be able to help you with PPX5.
You need to install from the original installation disc or installation exe file copied from the disc.
Now my Video Preview is on the bottom and my Audio video tracks are on top. And I want them reversed.
View/Panes and UNTICK "Storyboard/Timeline at top".
Assuming you mean the caption for the section immediately before your fifth clue, I wasn’t going to mention it unless you did!
Yes I also spotted the misspelling but like Alfred wasn't going to say anything. Albert are you going to correct it? If it was me I would as otherwise it would forever annoy me.
Last Wednesday we made our way to Nymans, a NT property in West Sussex.
Thanks Albert, well done and something different. The only thing missing was snow
