Quote: Hi members,
A while a go when this thread first started, I drew CyberLink's attention to it. I asked the other day to see if the whole thread with the many contributions and numerous hits was still being monitored. I'm pleased to tell everyone that the thread is still monitored by CyberLink and a number of the suggestions are being actively taken up/investigated for inclusion in PowerDirector.

Keep the suggestions flowing.

We also are pleased to know that Cyberlink held in cosider our suggestions. Only by listening to consumer products will be successful W 10 64 , pc Dell XPS 8000 - core i7 2,8 GHz--ram 6 MB--GEFORCE GTX 1050TI 4GB - SSD 256 + 2x630--area Pal

It would be great to have a quick way to disable the rotation lock-points (software "detents") for the rotation of pictures and videos in the Modify menu.

Currently, if you drag the rotation tool and get within +/-5° of 0/360, 90, 180 or 270°, the clip locks to that set point, but there doesn't seem to be a way to turn that off if you wanted to rotate the clip to 93°, for example.

Setting a precise angle can be done by typing in a value in the Keyframe menu, but you need to go to another tool and also need to set at least one additional keyframe if you don't want any rotational motion.

It would be ideal if I could hold down either the Shift or Ctrl keys while dragging the rotation tool so I could manually reach any angle. The second-best approach would be to link these set-points to the Snap to Reference Lines feature so no rotation snapping would happen if the box was unchecked.


Thanks!

From another thread...

Quote: One enhancement to PowerDirector 13 that (I think) would
be useful (eg: simplify things) is to enable the settings selected under
the 'Produce' menu to be sticky. I would imagine that the vast majority
of users, more often than not, save videos out with the same settings
each and every time (with the occasional exception).Making the
options 'sticky' would mean your chosen options/settings would remain in
place so that the next time you completed a video project you would not
have to go through the process of re-selecting all the various options
over and over again.Just saying !?Regards, bjc100

I have two Cameras that are optimized for 4k Video and my next will be also.

1. I would like to see better import and editing of 4k.
2. I would like to see better 4k output.
3. I would like to see support and burning software for the new 4k BlueRay standard.

4. I would like to see more customizable "Produce" formats and with higher bitrates.

a. Where is 1080P60 at 100+ bit rate?

b. Why can't I produce that from MOV files of the same rate?

I'd like captured voiceovers to be saved in the same folder the project is saved in. As it stands I have one folder with hundreds of captured audios and no easy way to know what project they belong to. Mark

Voiceovers are saved to the location you have specified as the Export folder in preferences. So by making this pref setting folder location that of your project you can save them there. But you are right, for me it would be nice to have the ability for both Import and Export folder locations to be saved, restored and fixed when opening a new pds file with what I was using when I saved that pds file.

Jeff

Yes cheers, however it's a bit of a faff doing that for every project (I just do small videos), so I'd much rather have an option to automatically change the voiceover file path to the same as the project file or media import path.

In the newer Versions You Can Make it to where instead of adding tabs. you can add your own Catergory like the Yellow Marker words in section to the Left.. that would be awsome. This way the ones you downloaded can move to that carergory you made and not be floating in the download and the catergory its self just a idea

It would be nice if previous settings could be remembered including restore down window size and location, size of preview, and number of timelines

You can resize the timeline ruler to expand or collapse thedisplay of the production. It would be useful to add to the timeline ruler over the command of the whole movie even the custom view of 1.10.30 seconds and 1-5-20-60 minutes.Sorry for the automatic translator W 10 64 , pc Dell XPS 8000 - core i7 2,8 GHz--ram 6 MB--GEFORCE GTX 1050TI 4GB - SSD 256 + 2x630--area Pal

It would be useful to have a single command that automatically deletes all empty gaps. It avoids a laborious control and you are assured of proper operation.

Would it be possible to enable the production of shadow-files to be prioritised ? At the moment I am working with 4K video ~ whilst idle, Powerdirector is using only 15% of available CPU power, if I could choose to prioritise shadow-file production the whole process of generating these file could be sped up by around 600%, reducing the time currently spent waiting for the process to complete 'in-the-background'.

Would that be at all possible ?

Thank you.

Suggestion: Indication of progress on long running tasks.

Using PD13 (2907.1), on a i7-4770 with 16 GB of memory and running Win7-64 all on SSD, on a 3hr movie with 550 clips, I regularly experience important delays (30-60 seconds) after invoking a function (from edit to capture to create, loading the project, etc.).

I also experience some glitches that force me to kill the process after contemplating the busy cursor for a minute or so.

If PD displayed a progress bar, as it does when loading a project, I would know visually to be patient and that things will complete.

And while we're at it, give the user the option to cancel the current long running task. I7-4770, 3.40Ghz, 16GB RAM, Asus Z87-Plus Z87chipset, Sapphire ATI Radeon HD7850 PCI Express-16 3.0 2GB, Samsung EVO 840 SSD 1TB

Chapter markers that stick with a timeline clip vs sticking to fixed timecode.

Jeff

Ability to view a chapter thumbnail when previously set to a frame other than the beginning of the clip where the chapter applies.

Working with chapters in Edit mode, when a chapter thumbnail has previously been set to a frame other than the beginning of the clip where the chapter applies, it is impossible to view the actual chapter thumbnail unless going into Create and previewing the menu of the movie.

Case in point. I created a movie with 16 chapters, deleted the first half of the movie, result: only 'timeline anchored' chapter markers that fit within the new elapsed movie time were retained, but are useless since they pertain to the chopped portion of the original movie; now need to delete & redo chapters.

Plus the fact that the warning message when chapters are cut off is misleading. I7-4770, 3.40Ghz, 16GB RAM, Asus Z87-Plus Z87chipset, Sapphire ATI Radeon HD7850 PCI Express-16 3.0 2GB, Samsung EVO 840 SSD 1TB
