Good evening
are there any fans of 3D or 3D filmmakers on this list.

Best regards

Suggestion for PD15 (and I haven't read all 5 pages of previous suggestions, so this may have been suggested already): a single button that would allow you to remove all transitions from a slideshow. After lots of editing changes, using the "undo" button a bunch of times isn't practical, because then you need to re-do all those edits. Regards,

The digital transitions cause slideshow to freeze. I wish I could remove it so that the slideshow does not use it.

Please fix the "Cross" Transitions, particularly on the commonly used Fade, so we don't get the freeze at the beginning and end of a transition. This freeze is very noticable and quite annoying. Apparently the problem is not universal, it only seems to affect fades, wipes, threshold and a few others. PD14 Ultimate

Hey, John!

You've beaten me to this! I was going to suggest this as well. Also, when the "cross" behaviour is selected, the audio component is automatically attached! And another one I tried earlier while doing some editing work, was the "Water Droplets" effect, modified it to my specs, went to save and PD14 "crashed". Not good, Cyberlink! Not good at all!

Cheers!

CL, fix the "Apply Random Transition to All Videos" so that when "Prefix Transition" is selected you get a random prefix transition applied to ALL videos as the option states, not just the first video. Same issue occurs for "Postfix Transition", in this case you only get the transition applied to the end of the last video.

Same issue occurs for "Apply Fade Transition to All Videos" and "Apply Random Audio Transition to All Audio" when prefix or postfix selection is used.

All prefix and postfix options only apply to a single video in the timeline, not ALL videos as advertised.

Jeff,

On your screenshot, it doesn't look as though you have "selected all" of the videos. I know it specifically says to apply to all, but if might work if you first selected all. Just guessing...

The ability to adjust volumes on multiple clips at once.

If I have more than one clip selected, ignore where the play marker is and adjust the selected clips to the specified level.

I know... use the Normalize feature. I do, but when I have several clips that I want to be louder, this would be a nice feature.

In PD14, to preview effects, you click on an effect and you can see how it affects that silly little pinwheel. Why not have a real-life video clip? Even if only 3-5 seconds long and low-resolution, it would be better than the pinwheel.

(Note: I'm not suggesting that users could select their own clip, just that CL develop a stock clip that would demonstrate the effect better than the pinwheel does now.) Regards,
Dan

Please Fix the basic audio mixer function - it is currently useless and makes using PD 14 for editing multiple clips a time consuming drudgery - negating any speed savings in the rendering process - even though the video editing is top-shelf

Please see my post

Link to Audio Editing post in PD14 forum

PS - I would greatly appreciate someone providing help with my issues with audio mixing - but think it is a design flaw in the audio mixer.

Had a hiccup on my internet connection.... Back now!RDOIII's comment needs to be given serious consideration. The Audio Room for PD15 should be made to operate exactly like that of PD8, much more user-friendly! As opposed to the uncooperative model in PD14.

Cheers!

How about making you be able to slow your clips down much more for fast frame rate video when you want to do nice slow motion PD14 don't go slow enough for it.

Also, I would like to have a SAVE feature in MultiCam Designer so I can work on my project later and especially now the PD 14 always crashes. big headache


+1. Multicam designer has saved me a lot of time in my product presentation videos but on long projects it becomes risky. Saving the audio sync previously used on the same clips would be a start so I don't have to 'OK' the multicam design half way through and then restart with another few minutes of the same audio syncronization.

I would also like to be able to see audio track waveforms on the multicam designer. If one doesn't import a seperate waveform you don't get to see important audio cues.

Audio edition.**Please fix this in PD14 through Update or PD15

Audio is the black point of Pd14. Otherwise it is a great tool.

What i expect it should works :

- when i group two or more audio clips, be able to change the gain of all the select audio clip
- when i group two or more audio clips, be able to make mod with audio director to all the select clip

The way it currently work is a nightmare. If i cut 75 times. I have to apply audio director effect 75 times. Make me crazy.

In addition we should be able to change the level of the select clip instead of using point by point decrease.

It needs two mode (select by one key shift for example). One where we change the level of the selected clips (like in sony vegas) and another as it is now.

Right-to-left text support in Title Designer would be nice.

at this moment proper input of RTL languages (e.g. Hebrew) is not possible.

Added Bonus for CyberLink: Might also attract an additional customer base from countries where RTL is the default writing style (arab and Hebrew speaking countries)

It would be good if we could select multiple clips and delete the audio with one click. It is a bit of a pest having to unlink the audio in each clip individually, deselect it, re-select it and then delete. Maybe there is a short cut I have not found yet.

I'd like to see better multi-monitor support. I have 3 monitors, and at best I can use 2 of them while using PD. Each time I open the application I have to reorganise the layout because PD doesn't remember them after closing down.

CL, your process utilized in PD14 build 2527 when "Burn to disc" and "Save as disc image" are both selected for final output when creating DVD +/-R results in a unnecessary authoring of the entire timeline twice resulting in significant wasted time for the end user. Please correct.

Same behaviour when creating a BD. Please Correct.

Summary of PD steps performed when user selects various options are highlighted below with total time elapsed durations for a particular project.

"Burn to disc" is selected
1) PD authors to hidden folder PP.TWOPASS, Time elapsed: 10:10
2) PD performs burning process for "Burn to disc", Time elapsed: 14:29

"Burn to disc" and "Create a folder" are selected
1) PD authors to the "Create a folder", Time elapsed: 10:10
2) PD performs burning process for "Burn to disc", Time elapsed: 14:26

"Burn to disc" and "Save as disc image" are selected
1) PD authors to hidden folder PP.TWOPASS, Time elapsed: 10:04
2) PD Re-Authors entire timeline again to create "Save as disc image", Time elapsed: 20:16
3) PD performs burning process for "Burn to disc", Time elapsed: 24:26

"Burn to disc", "Save as disc image", and "Create a folder" are selected
1) PD authors to the "Create a folder", Time elapsed: 10:04
2) PD performs burning process to create iso from item 1 to satisfy "Save as disc image", Time elapsed: 10:23
3) PD performs burning process for "Burn to disc", Time elapsed: 14:39

As shown, when "Burn to disc" and "Save as disc image" are both selected results in excessive total time duration because the entire timeline is encoded twice.

1)For 16:9 aspect ratio videos, the ability to author a 4.7GB disc at DVD-SP quality(up to 2 hours 25 minutes on one disc) should be available.

2)Audio adjustments - sound levels on all audo tracks should be adjustable within a range from 0(muted) to 100(maximum level) with 50 being the default level.

The above two are as they are/were in PD8 and should be brought back in to PD15.

3)Transitions - The Fade, Wipe, Threshold and some others are affected by a momentary freeze-frame on entry and exit when cross transition behaviour is selected, this sorely needs fixing.

These three situations have been mentioned before but a recap may help to keep them fresh in Cyberlink's "to-do" list.

Also, would like the software to save the program window when you exit/close the program and open it in the same size as when you last used the program. I hate to resize my windows everytime you open up the program. what is the use of the square and the underscore on the top right hand side of the window
