For me the Title Desinger has not changed much.
You can put the question and answer together in the same module.
Or create 1 module for question and another for response.
If you are going to use multiple ones along the timeline, use the Copy / Paste and type the new text
Save title to the Library. In this case the title will assume the default time PD16
My sugestion
Do the 60P edition
Produce using Intelligent SVRT if possible.
If SVRT works well, in addition to fast your video remains as the original, rendering is applied only where it has an effect.
If SVRT is not possible, create a profile similar to the original video.
In the Timeline right-click, on the video select Properties, use the values ​​for the new profile.
If necessary, Produce this video, 60 (P) fps to 30 (P) fps.
If it still is not good, do it in other software and compare it.
Note 60P fullhd, you may need to enable shadow files for editing to be smoother.
Adding to what Haitti showed.

When producing video, first try Intelligent SVRT, this is the best option, if available and working 100%

You can check SVRT, in the Edit module, on the keyboard press Alt + S

The green bar above the video, indicates no rendering required
I checked here, I can switch between Edit and Create Disc multiple times without problems.
I do not understand CPU with 6 cores being better than another with 8 cores. it may be magic or AMD engineers are running behind.

One should also consider that the producer or sympathizer will say that their product is better.

Quote Hello.

I encountered a severe problem.
When I try to produce my project, the software immediatly shutdown with this message.
https://ibb.co/eOswP7

Don't understand why. Everything was fine before that and didn't touched anything.
Can't do anything ?
PD just closes immediatly.

Please help.


This has happened to me a few times, I return to the project, Produce do well in the 2nd time.
if you can do your project again, save every 3 or 4 minutes, in case an error happens, will know where and correct.

Another way is undoing the project.

Save the project under another name to preserve the original.

it deletes parts in the timeline and saving, maybe the error disappears when deleting what is causing the error.
Quote I must have checked the box on the opening screen that said timeline, storyboard and slideshow. Now it only opens in timeline.
I want to open the slideshow creator but can't find it. I'm new and stupid so any help will be greatly appreciated.


Configure startup, see image PD16 Startup

Add some images to the timeline
Highlight some of them
Slideshow button appears.
More options:
Use Magic Tools, button
see the image
Quote I can't enable SVRT to encode in power director 12
I have Intel i7 processor, Win-10

All options in prefrerence is enabled
In Produce I attempted to enable the intelligent SVRT

I simply can't enable this option
I'm doing MPEG-4 and I'm an experienced user


My Expertise with SVRT
100% FUNCTION for Progressive MPEG4 files
It works for MTS or M2TS files, 100% for files with no effects on the timeline, a simple transition disables SVRT at some point it returns to work after it disables again it always does so in the transition from mode to another.

This also in PD16 that I use now, in this SVRT shows 100% green in the timeline, in Intelligent SVRT 100%, but by the progress of the render it is clear that it is not working.
I agree with Fenman, SVRT uses the CPU, it does not depend on the GPU.
HA when enabled speeds up rendering, smooth CPU work for other tasks.
In my case, render about 20% faster and CPU drops down to 50%
Quote Just started using PD16 after much time with PD14. Today I tried to Create Disc and was only able to select MP4,720 or SmartFit even though the video was produced in H.264,MP4,1920/1080.
How do I Create Disc in 1920?


Yes PD16 can create DVD / AVCHD
This disc can be played back in BluRay Player or PC.
This DVD can not be played on a DVD-video player.

Quote Thanks again!

But with "right click" - "Edit video/image" its not possible...

Strange!?


As shown by Hatti and The Shadowman, you should only select videos and click on the Button, Tools, Power Tools.

Do not right click.
[quotePostId=300426]first time user of the software, been making home movies for awhile on a lesser software and anxious to get into the upgrades here (like color grading!)

i'm scratching my head over one issue! if i'm in the middle of the timeline and i move a clip or shorten a clip i get the dialogue box 'close gaps'? but if i do anything to the FIRST item on the timeline, (move a jpeg to just after the second clip OR shorten the first clip) there's no dialogue to 'close the gap! i guess i could select all and drag . but there has got to be an automatic way to take away the dead open space at the front, right? i can't find it...

thanks for any help![/quotePostId]

You must select the appropriate option.

Quote Unfortunately nothing works. This should be the most simple procedure. Maybe I need to reinstall the software.
Hatti, thanks for your time


Note:
Combine only works to join what has been Divided, in the same video clip.
It is the same as undoing a wrong Division.
Does not work if part of the video is missing.
It does not work to combine video sequences with different name or numbering.

I use, [1 time] Split, to uncertain a transition, [2 times] Split to delimit part to delete from the vide.
Quote Hi I have noticed that there seems to be some functions missing.
Is there an upgrade available even though I use a subscription for PD16?

Thank you.


In PD, the tools come up as you select, image, video, audio, etc ... in the timeline.
Buttons open, tool menus or effects.
Click right on the video has more options.
AudioDierctor is for correcting or improving audio when you need it.
Quote I have made a title template with Title Designer. When I insert the title into the time line, the default length is 10 min. How can I change this?


To change the Default value, Title
Preferences, Editing, Durations: Title
see the image
PD has no way to set the duration, for specific Title, saved.
Quote I would like scrolling vertical text to begin at a fixed position on the screen and then start scrolling. I don't want the text to begin off screen and then scroll up. I've been using the ending credits titler but that starts off screen.


A suggestion.
Use the opacity to hide the text to the position that should appear, see image

Another option, for short title only, creates an image with text, and background transparent, in Pip Designer move as you want
Quote Fresh install on a new system, PowerDirector produces MP4 videos with blank video. I've tried every possible way to create one. PowerDirector16, windows 7 64-bit, all updates applied.

What kind of product doesn't get the most popular format right from the very start?


You need to provide more details, if possible a screenshot that tries to show the problem.

The application will stay active all the time, if you do not want this, do not do this process.
I do not know a way to close manual, this program.


It is best not to have PDspeed active outside Powerdirector because it intercepts and translates keystrokes and will produce unwanted effects when using the keyboard normally.

I simply have a shortcut to the .exe file on my desktop and run it before launching Powerdirector.

When it is running an icon will appear in the System Tray. To close it right-click on the icon and select Exit.


You're right I could not remember anymore, I saw the green icon on the tray but I did not right-click.
Quote I've got two videos of drone which I'd like to PIP together.
Video 1 - screen recorder video from my iphone which has settings of the drone on it.
Video 2 - 4k video from the microsd card of the drone

I'd like to be able to isolate sections from video 1 (see areas marked in read in the attachment) and put them on top of Video 2.

I know how to isolate one area but I don't know how to mask several different areas on the same video. Do I have to lay video 1 in several tracks with each one having a different mask? Is that the only way?

Any step by step instructions would be helpful.


I do not know if I understood correctly, it seems to me to put, several information on the screen about the 4K video
My sugestion:
If the information will always stay in the same position.
You can only make a mask, with windows for all videos below, apply to 4k video, in track 1.
This will clear the positions that will show the videos 2, 3 and 4 that will be on the track below.
I made an image as a very rude example, to give an idea.
I used PD16, applying color plates, i create transparency for the background black
To use in PD16, select the background video.
Button, Designer, Mask Designer, Load Image
Invert, if need be.
Finally, fit each video, back in the corresponding window
PDSpeed.exe, executable file does not install on PC, 2 click to open.
To open automatically, with Windows.
1 - Create a shortcut in the work area.
2 - Copy this line, changing the Name of your PC.
C: \ Users \ Name of your PC \ AppData \ Roaming \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Start Menu \ Programs
Click the keys, Windows + R
In the text box, Paste Path, OK or Enter
3 - Open the folder, Start
4 - Go to the desktop, Copy the shortcut, "PDSpeed.exe - Shortcut"
5 - Paste into folder, Start
Whenever you connect PC, PDSpeed, is now ready for use in PDirector
The application will stay active all the time, if you do not want this, do not do this process.
To close it right-click on the icon green in System Tray and select Exit.
I think Effect Extractor.exe is in use see that it was installed recently here see picture.

For the case in question, it should be considered may be problem with Windows
