Parts A, B, and E.

If you split a video, you have to remove the part you do not want to keep.

you split the video at the start of the part to remove and at the end of the part you want to remove.

Hi Shawmeck,

this might be a case where my English is coming short, because I do not really understand
what you mean. But- I right now see that Carl has responded to you.

which is the way to go. If you want the "leftovers" to be 1 file again, you have to produce it.
When producing a new file - of the now 2 parts- should not give you a file with less quality.
You will have to choose your "parameters" for production from drop-down menu,- and even
here you can edit the template. So if you want your file to be produced with the same bitrates and
resolution as your original, you fill that in.

PART A
PowerDirector 9 Ultra 64 v9.0.0.2316

Part B
see attached files.

There have been a number of newer releases/patches so an update might be useful. http://www.cyberlink.com/downloads/support/powerdirector/patches_en_US.html

As Nina indicated you may need to customise an .mp4 template to get the best results. Unfortunately there is no way in PD just to cut and dump sections of your file and then "save" it in it's original format. You can do a google search for ".mp4 splitter" and see if there are any 3rd party utilities available.

Hello 1Nina, thank you for your response. I think you understand what my request is. I have a file that I want to cut a part off, this task is simple and has been completed already. Now I have the original file separated into two parts, back to back. The only way to put these two parts together is to "produce" them. However, when I try to produce the new shorter video, the file size is almost twice as large, furthermore the quality is not as clear.

The original file is as follows:

File type MP4
Type H264 AVC
Original duration: 00;56;20;07
Bitrate: 6.73 Mbps
Resolution: 1920x1080
Frame rate 29.97 fps
Aspect Ratio: 16:9

Audio _________
Type AAC
Sampling rate 48kHz
Bitrate 384Kbps
Channel: Stereo

So to clarify, how do I "produce" this edited file so that it maintains the same quality and size as the original posted above?

Hi again,

I attach images that show how to customize templates.
Hope that can take you further.

Nina

Edit:
You may want to choose the production within the tab H.264 AVC.....?
Procedure for customizing will be the same.

Alright, so I made a custom profile and was able to recreate the same file as close to the original size as possible, thank you all for your assistance.

Hi,

I have used your instructions above to help me transfer one part of already edited footage and attach it to another project. However, when I tried to produce this new project and tried to play it back, the video played only until the point where I attached the previously edited footage. After this point the sound was still heard, but the video seems to have got stuck.

So to make it clearer: I have created a video project, that I then produced into an mp4 format. Then I uploaded this into the library of another project and attached to to this other project. The section I am taliking about, ended up in effect being produced twice and then it seem to have failed.

What I am trying to do is use an already edited project to attach it to another one.

Can you advise me on how to do this?

Thanks
