Hi Kyle40,
CyberLink would like to have your original project files or ones that do the same issue if you still have the problem. Is that a possible?

Did switching off/unchecking Shadow Edit files help?

Hi Barry,
If you have any project that would help here then please provide it also.

Both:
CyberLink are keen to have data to replicate, so far they've not been able to from the information given.

Quote: Dafydd, is this to say that all i5's are expected to struggle with HD files ? I have an i5 also, and am having some problems, but I also have 28GB of RAM and a 4GB, very capable graphics card. What would it take to be able to use PD without the struggle ?
Thanks

Rather than ignore your post, as it is a tangential post, I'll express a view.
I've sort of answered you via the PM exchange we've had. Editing High Definition video requires a stable powerful PC, Desktop rather than a laptop, in my view, especially if you intend to make many individual frame changes/additions/alterations rather than cut and delete. You need a middle to top end spec PC (i7) to have a comfortable HD video editing experience. The i5 is in the middle to low end of the spec and is likely to struggle at some point during the editing process. I'm expressing an opinion here and that's all.

For information depending of what edition you do, producing will be faster using your intel integrated gpu (that goes along with the i5) than your 4gb discrete GPU.

In fact for encoding and decoding purposes, intel quicksync blows away any other GPU

I am packing a project, lots of "broken" files. Almost 6GB.
How do I send it? It's too big for my DropBox. I do not have a smaller project with the breaks at this time. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

Hi BarryTheCrab,
Excellent, great news.
I have sent you, via a PM, details of a location to upload to.
Dafydd

Done, took a long time. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

Thanks Barry,
I had advised CyberLink you were uploading, I'll remind them you've completed the task.

Edit: Changed a tense.

Some update news.
CyberLink are attempting to reproduce the issue you've posted here, they have requested a sample project as the steps you've taken are unclear to them regarding scene detection. In addition, they're asking what the timeline frame rate you're using is?

When you're able to put a project together for CyberLink to replicate the issue, let me know and I'll give you the FTP links via PM.

Hi Dafydd, it's taken awhile as I've been working away but have created a project for you.

Cheers I just want to edit and make pictures, walk my dog and go fishing.

Hi Kyle 40,
Thanks for the info/image.
I have sent you a PM.

Thanks Dafydd.
Forgot to mention about the "Shadow files" option. I did switch it off but so far, I haven't had much chance to do editing at home.
I did enjoy working for someone else, in a "proper" edit suite on Friday ... getting paid into the bargain was a real bonus. Worth the 4 hrs travelling I just want to edit and make pictures, walk my dog and go fishing.

Hi Dafydd, hopefully the final picture to show the PD12 timeline with NO split tracks

Just to recap ALL the clips in the short sequence apart from 2 clips were produced using the Detect Scenes method where I stop the auto detect from doing its thing. I choose the part(s) of the clip I want to use ( it's much quicker!) in my video.

It's a brilliant way for creating subclips for editing as it keeps the sub clips all tidy with the original video clip and doesn't clutter the clips bin oops sorry I meant the Media Content Window



Thanks for all your kind help

Cheers I just want to edit and make pictures, walk my dog and go fishing.

My take is the "breaking" issue can be triggered in more than one way. Time is running short (no insider knowledge) on PD13's eventual arrival and I imagine this a priority. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

Hi Kyle 40,
Thank you for the update, I'm glad the "fix" I sent you worked. I've told CyberLink the results.

Hi BarryTheCrab,
Just so you know, I'm not excluding you from the "fix". The data I was given was specifically for Kyle 40. I have followed up with your A/V issue to see what's happening. Your "take" on the situation, "My take is the "breaking" issue can be triggered in more than one way." is right in my view.

Hello, very new user here.

Love the software but have a very weird problem.

Power Director starts fine BUT only once.

Since I close it, in order to start it again I need to boot the computer up.

Please help.

Cheers, AJ

Hi Dafydd,
I am sorry for posting in wrong forum.
I was so eager to get the answer that I missed the proper location.

The problem was my Bitdefender software, it was scanning and installing updates silently and that was the problem.

After it finished, I was able to start PD with no problems.

Thank you for a quick answer and I will be more careful in the future when posting.

Cheers, AJ

I am unable to update my software. It keeps saying MD5 checking error.

Hi guys,

Newbie here, I purchased Powerdirector 12 Ultra, through download last week, on the French site.

I wanted to download this patch and it installs, extracts and everything but,

on a certain moment it says, can't install patch because you don't have the right version of the program and
then the whole thing gets canceled.

I tried the previous patch, same thing.

Do i need to install there patches since i purchased the program only last week? Are they maybe integrated?

Thanks for your advice

Greetings In the making

Hi Olivia999,
Please post your question as a new topic, the thread is just an announcement about the release of a new patch.
New topic link: http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/jforum.page?module=posts&action=insert&forum_id=120
If you could also include some additional data:
1. The version details of the PDR12 you have and
2. A screenshot of the error message.
There are a couple of guides to assist you see Part A and Part E & F: http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/29701.page
My initial guess is you have the latest build version of PDR12 and don't need to apply the patch. The info asked for in Part A will tell you/us what you have.
I look forward to your new post or perhaps I have answered you already with my guess.
Dafydd
