Hey, Guys

I know I haven't set up a profile, but I tried and the page wouldn't recognize that I had input a nickname so it wouldn't let me create a profile. Not sure why that was but...there you go.

Anyway, I am having a problem with my speed adjustment in powerdirector7. Whenever I have a clip that is shorter than the length that I need for my "scene", I extend it (within the boundaries acceptable to the software). The edited scene works fine until I quit powerdirector7 and then re-open it. When I re-open the software all of my speed adjustments have been re-set back to the original length of the clip.

For example, I have a 6 sec clip. I extend it to 9 sec.

When I shut down the software and then re-open it, the 9 sec setting is still recognized in my "movie" however the clip has reverted to 6 sec and freezes on the last frame until the entire 9 sec is up.

My question is: Is there some save button that I am missing to lock my adjusmtents so they won't revert back?

Thanks,

Bob Bob

It's the latest version, Version 7. The Deluxe version, not the Ultra version. I just got it a week ago.

Please can you state what version and build of PowerDirector you are using (use/download the latest version patch).

Why Novice?

Because I thought I answered the question of what version and build of PowerDirector am I using by responding with "PowerDirector 7 Deluxe." By your question, I must assume that I did not

. Now, I have worked in post production, so I know all about time codes and inserting video or audio, etc...but I have never edited. And have never used this software before. Where in the software properties can I find the answer to your question "what version and build of PowerDirector are you using."

As to the patch, I have tried to link to update software from within the powerdirector software program and am told that my software is up to date and no update is necessary or some words to that effect. Should I still download this patch? Will the patch fix my problem?

Thanks for any and all suggestions.

Today a novice...who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Bob

Well, tomorrow will bring more clouds and rain here

. Thank you Bob - good on you sport, I liked the explanation.

Info: Look for the Director's chair icon, top left, then follow PART A.

The problem you face was shown up in an earlier build and corrected with an update patch. Applying the latest patch should resolve this issue.

Let me know etc.

Thanks

Dafydd

Thanks for your help, Dafydd . Sorry for the delayed response. I have downloaded the patch, but it is almost 1am my time and I will have to do a test on the software when I shake the cobwebs loose tomorrow.

Will let you know if the patch corrected the speed problem.

As far as the version of software...that will also have to wait til the a.m. I mean the later a.m.

Thanks again,

Bob Bob
