Hi BillB35803,
To pack a project, the information you need to follow is:
1. Open the project in PD10.
2. Go to File > Export > Pack Project Materials > browse for a location/folder, Click OK.
3. The folder contents, can now be moved and opened, via the .pds file, on a new PC with PD10 installed.

Bubba and James have both provided you with information on what data is exported, only the timeline contents.

The links in the packed projects pds, are relative to the packed project.

Well done Neil.

Good to know you're ok.

Hi Members,
Please look out for the patch 1703 which will be released when ready in the coming days. New users are being provided with the latest build 1703. I don't have a list of what's been fixed yet.

Hi RonH,
CyberLink YouCam has a capture program but it isn't as handy or video editor useful as some mentioned in your earlier thread. Link to YouCam is in my "signature".

Thank you for understanding the situation, I left the thread to run and I thought you'd had a lot to try out and had been answered.

Hi RonH,
I have used MS's Expression Encoder with PD10. The bitrate is fine. The frame rate is fine but I up it to 30fps. The quality to 100%.
Rendering the file to frame size and max bitrate of 20.000 works ok.
The wmv imports into PD10 without a problem. Frame size - make sure you work out the 16:9 values ot you'll have display issues and may need to either stretch or crop.
Audio for screen capture, select Stereo Mix. Do a few tests to see if it works ok and drag the file into PD.

As I mentioned, PD edits these files easily. Screen capture of any video is do-able with this capture program.

I'm not giving support for 3rd Party software nor am I recommending this software but it is mentioned here: http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/17508.page somewhere, Jerry posted the info to help with showing user issues.

Hi Ryan,
Powerful computer... ever so slightly

Have a Google on the 590 range and the drivers. I've recently been looking at that Nvidia range and saw a few display issues mentioned and operators having to roll back to earlier drivers, one user in particular wasn't getting much joy whichever way he/she turned on his/her gaming machine. Hanging and being a real pain were part of the symptoms.

I'm calling a halt now to this thread, interesting as it is. All are third party software.

CyberLink's MediaShow offers red eye correction along with image and video tools. On my system MS sits in the right monitor while I have PD on the left. The MediaShow 6 displays and can edit 3D media files.

As far as I'm aware Steve is still investigating what links if any caused the problem. He's having difficulty identifying the source and his own browser history, due to the effect of his total system crash etc.

The link I tested for Steve was ok.

Steve should do a follow up post.

Potential risk = Any hyper-link posted to a non-CyberLink site should be treated with caution! Any linked image, video or web page to a program hosted by a third party and not by CyberLink should be treated with caution and care must be exercised. CyberLink are not responsible for checking links, members are.

Hi Mike,
Thank you for clarification. The same comments have been made previously for PD9. Component Actiivation was new to us all when it appeared. So was the need for better documentation. Customer Support may be able to reset the activation and resolve the matter for an editor.

You should give PD10 a go.

Dafydd

Yeah you're right Barry a list of quality VST's here on the forum would be very useful for everyone, me included.

Hi,
Carl has guided you to contact Customer Support as they are the ones who you need to enquire to. Component Activation has been present in PD9 since it's launch, November 2010. Forum members have guided each other to click and use various features to activate each.

Why Component Activation? I assume it is both a security feature and to do with end user usage charges encountered by a company. If you read a link provided to me by BarryTheCrab, it may help you understand the situation more. As far as I gather, from a security point of view, the component activation restricts multiple use of a key/installation preventing unlicensed usage.

Hi,
FYI, CyberLink also offer a 30day refund on purchased software. So you get a 30day trial and then try out the full build with a 30 day refund policy.
Look up: http://www.cyberlink.com/prog/support/cs/faq-content.do?id=2317
And: https://asknet-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2215/kw/refund

I think you're misinterpreting Bubba and Neil's intent. They're wanting you to "try before you buy" and to test your system out with a video editing software. Please be aware video editing is one of the most stressful action you can carry out with a consumer based computer. Any system or hardware weaknesses will show up. If a HDD is failing, in editing it will fail. If you have a duff set of RAM then video editing will pick that up for example. Out of date graphic card drivers etc etc

Bubba and Neil are trying to get you to test your system. The refund policy CyberLink offer should help you decide which way to go... it is a generous policy for editors.
