Guys, how do I upload my videos to the DirectorZone? I'm not finding any upload links anywhere. Am I missing something? Also, is it possible to take videos that I've already uploaded to YouTube and add them to my DirectorZone? Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

MVP! if you look where you upload to YouTube in the program you will see that you can tick a box to also share with Directorzone.

Ah, there's the problem. I never upload from PD. I always render out then upload.
Thanks for the info,

Hi Mully,
I am afraid it's not possible to get previously uploaded YouTube videos into the DirectorZone. You would have to upload the video to YouTube again and make sure you have the DirectorZone box selected. Looking forward to seeing your creations!

Edit: and there are no dumb questions Mully! Ask away!

You should be able to download the video from YouTube and upload to the Director Zone independently, if you have not saved a copy on your hard drive. When logged in to your YouTube account, click on the link to Manage Videos and click the edit button next to the video in question. See my attached image.

That's not as easy as a direct transfer, but it works.

Thanks, Jaime-esque. Yeah, I know the download process from YT. Luckily I still have all the videos from that channel on my hard drive so I won't need to go that route. Appreciate all the help, guys!!

No problem Mully!

One other benefit of getting your videos into the Director Zone is that if you ever intend to enter some of the Cyberlink video contests, you are required to have your video submission on the Director Zone. So enter those contests and have a chance to win some great prizes!

Edit: Here is the latest video contest March5- March 25. You will find a link to prizes and the rules of the contest. Posted this just in case you were interested.

Once a video has been added to the DZ can it be safely deleted from YT?

Hi Mully,

No it can't be deleted from YouTube and still have it visible in the Director Zone. Director Zone only embeds the YouTube link. So it must have a path to follow on YouTube and have the uploaded video exist on YouTube in order to play it on Director Zone. Power Director also collects the project editing timeline information from you project and displays it under the viewing screen during playback on the Director Zone site. That way you can view other people's work and get an idea how they went about creating the video they posted. It's actually very helpful to new people to learn how to put together a video using multiple video tracks using pictures, video, effects, Picture in Picture objects bu looking at someone's editin timeline. That kind of thing.

Great questions Mully. I am sure that others reading your questions are learning more about Director Zone and how it all works.

Hope this helps answer your questions.

Kevin

Yeah, thanks for that, Kevin. My series of videos, ThingzThatSuck, already has 32 or 33 vids up. No way to upload them again. On top of that, I never upload to YT from PD. I prefer to render it out then upload from YT.
