Hi! I just recently purchased and installed PowerDirector 13 and started using it to edit my videos. I quickly realized that I did not install the content pack. I immediately installed it and did not see any new changes (features, effects, etc.)

I then uninstalled both the PowerDirector and Content Pack and reinstalled them. I still do not see any changes. I checked my Program Files C: and saw them listed, but again it has not yielded anything new.

Help would truly be appreciated!

Thanks!

Just to back up what Barry has stated, here's what you don't get if you don't install the Contents Packs.

Of course, none of it has an effect on your basic video editing. PDR works perfectly fine without these "bells & whistles" - they just add a few extra tools to your arsenal.

I have downloaded the Essential Content Pack and for example, I still only have 6 Titles... How do I activate the content pack?

Chiney -

In the Title Room, do you have ALL CONTENT selected in the dropdown menu?

Did you double click the exe file?

You have to install the pack.
