G'day wjr002 -

Do you mean the Zoom In effect in the FX room? That's been there since PD9.

True - that effect only allows you to zoom in towards the centre of the screen. It can be keyframes to control the amount & rate of zoom, but not position.



If it's video, then Power Tools > Video Crop is another option. For images - Magic Motion.

Thanks Tony.
That's the effect I meant but I hadn't noticed in PD11. There's lots I don't notice.
I thought I had read somewhere about a new zoom in and I assumed that was it.
Shame we can't do position with that effect. PD12 Ultimate Suite (upgrade from PD11 Ultimate). PhotoDirector 5. PowerDVD13. YouCam 5.

If NewBlue Motion is in PD12 there is an effect named Zoom Blur.

If you set the Blend parameter to 0, it eliminates the blur.

You can position it wherever you want.

I can't locate it.
Looking it up it only mentions PD11. Stand alone for Motion Pack is fairly pricey. http://www.cyberlink.com/products/partner-plug-ins/partner-newblue-motion_en_AU.html

I suppose this goes back to my original question about uninstalling PD11 packs - whether I should have or not. I seem to recall an earthquake effect I had in PD11 that I can't seem to locate now. PD12 Ultimate Suite (upgrade from PD11 Ultimate). PhotoDirector 5. PowerDVD13. YouCam 5.

I don't think any of the NewBlue "Stuff" mentions PD12. It is too new and the web sites have not been updated.

I didn't update to PD12 yet (lots of reported problems) because I could never get an answer re: PD12 keeping NewBlue from PD11.

I never did buy the Motion Pack - I thought it came with PD11.

I did buy Essentials 4,5 and 6 a couple of weeks ago but the ones I am interested in don't work as advertised but since I spent the money, I wont to keep them in PD12.

Did you update and lose effects?

Lots of new ones but can't see any that I used that aren't there. Except maybe Earthquake. I might have been using a different effect though. I'd need to open an old project to tell.

I definitely can't see any of the the NewBlue Motion effects.
The only listings I have for NewBlue are:
NewBlue Essential Effect I
NewBlue Essential Effect II
NewBlue Essential Effect III

That's with Ultimate Suite.

Cyberlink doesn't have this right yet. I think I will wait before I upgrade from PD 11 to PD 12!!!!

Looks like they added Essentials 1,2 and 3 but subtracted others.

It really depends on what version of PD you get. http://www.cyberlink.com/products/powerdirector-ultimate-suite/compare_en_CA.html

Is this the Earthquake effect you were talking about?
This is in my PD 11 Ultimate Suite NewBlue Motion directory

Hi Guys & Gal -

It seems like many of us are having issues with the installation of PD12 on NBFX. I sure am!

PD11 History:
1. Installed PD11 Ultimate Suite - which included Art, Motion & Paint Effects
- these were included with PD11 Ultimate - http://www.cyberlink.com/support/product-faq-content.do?id=14953&prodId=4&prodVerId=977
2. Installed Video Essentials I, II & III separately

Current State of NBFX in PD12: - PD11 still installed
1. Motion & Paint Effects from PD11 Ultimate gone!
2. Art Effects (previously fine) misnamed in library
3. Duplicates of Video Essentials I in FX Library
4. Video Essentials II & III are OK - phew!

JohnAlfa - you're right. Someone hasn't got it right yet. To my way of thinking, if I didn't uninstall PD11 Ultimate, the included effects ought to be present... and why do I have duplicates of VE I, but not VE II or III? Looks like we have to do convoluted tricks to get the effects installed correctly.

I think I might follow Nina's lead and re-install PD11 & contents to try to get back the missing NBFX. Ha! I'll probably end up with multiple duplicates of VE.

Quake Effect
wjr002 - Rob mentioned the NB Earthquake effect.

There's also a PD (non-NB) effect called "Quake", which may be the one you're thinking of.



Cheers - Tony

Thanks Guys!
Earthquake from the Motion pack is what I used in PD11. I can see the Quake one in PD12.

VE I is just called VE in the pane now so it might be why there s a dupe for ynotfish. PD12 Ultimate Suite (upgrade from PD11 Ultimate). PhotoDirector 5. PowerDVD13. YouCam 5.
