It would be good if we could select multiple clips and delete the audio with one click. It is a bit of a pest having to unlink the audio in each clip individually, deselect it, re-select it and then delete. Maybe there is a short cut I have not found yet.

I'd like to see better multi-monitor support. I have 3 monitors, and at best I can use 2 of them while using PD. Each time I open the application I have to reorganise the layout because PD doesn't remember them after closing down.

CL, your process utilized in PD14 build 2527 when "Burn to disc" and "Save as disc image" are both selected for final output when creating DVD +/-R results in a unnecessary authoring of the entire timeline twice resulting in significant wasted time for the end user. Please correct.

Same behaviour when creating a BD. Please Correct.

Summary of PD steps performed when user selects various options are highlighted below with total time elapsed durations for a particular project.

"Burn to disc" is selected
1) PD authors to hidden folder PP.TWOPASS, Time elapsed: 10:10
2) PD performs burning process for "Burn to disc", Time elapsed: 14:29

"Burn to disc" and "Create a folder" are selected
1) PD authors to the "Create a folder", Time elapsed: 10:10
2) PD performs burning process for "Burn to disc", Time elapsed: 14:26

"Burn to disc" and "Save as disc image" are selected
1) PD authors to hidden folder PP.TWOPASS, Time elapsed: 10:04
2) PD Re-Authors entire timeline again to create "Save as disc image", Time elapsed: 20:16
3) PD performs burning process for "Burn to disc", Time elapsed: 24:26

"Burn to disc", "Save as disc image", and "Create a folder" are selected
1) PD authors to the "Create a folder", Time elapsed: 10:04
2) PD performs burning process to create iso from item 1 to satisfy "Save as disc image", Time elapsed: 10:23
3) PD performs burning process for "Burn to disc", Time elapsed: 14:39

As shown, when "Burn to disc" and "Save as disc image" are both selected results in excessive total time duration because the entire timeline is encoded twice.

1)For 16:9 aspect ratio videos, the ability to author a 4.7GB disc at DVD-SP quality(up to 2 hours 25 minutes on one disc) should be available.

2)Audio adjustments - sound levels on all audo tracks should be adjustable within a range from 0(muted) to 100(maximum level) with 50 being the default level.

The above two are as they are/were in PD8 and should be brought back in to PD15.

3)Transitions - The Fade, Wipe, Threshold and some others are affected by a momentary freeze-frame on entry and exit when cross transition behaviour is selected, this sorely needs fixing.

These three situations have been mentioned before but a recap may help to keep them fresh in Cyberlink's "to-do" list.

Also, would like the software to save the program window when you exit/close the program and open it in the same size as when you last used the program. I hate to resize my windows everytime you open up the program. what is the use of the square and the underscore on the top right hand side of the window Windows 10 64-bit on I7-2600 3.4GHZ

I would like to see PD work with Nvidia graphics cards!

I appreciate the wish list already provided by Alessandro and others. I wish to the following essential tools or fixes be added by CL in their next version:
1. When importing a video with audio as Video background in Create Disk Menu designer, the audio is not imported. The Background Music in template plays. The audio in the imported video clip MUST be allowed to play.

2. In Screen recorder, how do we zoom in and out from specific area on screen we choose to highlight when preparing tutorials. Add zoom in out function.

I will appreciate feedback.

Dr V B,
welcome to the Forum.
Question 1 can be answered by extracting the audio from your intended video background, and using that extracted file as your menu music. You can do that within PowerDirector. If wish to pursue that further, start a new thread.
Question 2 is also better answered by starting a new thread and asking the Forum to assist you. This thread here is a wish list. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

Thanks Mr Barry for your welcome and your response.

1. I know I can use extracted audio to create a new audio file for use in the Menu Designer. But this is a feature request for PD 15. Pinnacle Studio 18 automatically allows audio with video selected as video background. It is logical to assume you want the audio to play with the video selected by default. You may have a button choice to choose an alternative audio file. So I again feel that CL should look at this feature request.


2. CL promotes the use of its screen recorder for use in preparing training videos. Therefore, I have sugegsted they include the zoom in and zoom out feature. i would like to stand correct if this function already exists.


3. Hope you would now appreciate my comments in the correct perspective of sugegsting improved functions. A diversion to the other forum might deny an opportunity to submit a genuine feature request.

Redesign the Paint Designer so that...

1. Each stroke is a separate item


2. Each item can be manipulated

Similar to the Title Designer.

In my example photo, I'm making a comparison. Drawing from the left to the right. What would be great is at the bottom, a list of strokes which can be shortened and moved to fit the overall segment.

Prompted by another post elsewhere, when installing, require only that CDKey number typed in to FULLY activate PD15 WITHOUT need to go on-line to finish activation process. This will make life easier for users of Cyberlink Power Director 15.

Is it possible when Packing a Project to have the newly generated PDS within the Packed Project to somehow manipulate the Preferences import/export folders to THAT Packed Project Folder, no matter where you open it up? Did I word that right? When I open a PDS in a PP folder I want the Preferences to point to that folder. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

Fix time-scaled titles in Windows 10. If you throw in a couple of scale keyframes on a title in PD14 on Windows 10 to make a title zoom or shrink over time, the text will "bump" around like PD is having issues getting the font to render properly. Producing the exact same project on a Windows 7 Machine or by placing PD14 on Windows 7 Compatibility mode on the Windows 10 machine fixes it.

(Running PD14 in Win 7 Compat. mode all the time is not a fix - it makes the application run like a dog. Nor is putting Windows 7 back on the computer.) Joe Stro - Joe's Computer Museum

I searched the previous 6 pages for the word "magic" and did not find any occurrences. Thus my suggestion is for CyberLink to incorporate Optodata/ALS/Shadowman's (and whoever else worked on this project) - "Magic+PD" into the basic structure of the PD program.

I have experienced the phenomenon of the 'jumping timeline marker' but not to such an extent that I've done anything about it yet. If the PD program could address this and deal with whatever is happening, that would be great!

Please allow trimming in slow motion!!!

I waited a GD year for them to add 120fps capability and they did... except you can not trim a clip in slow motion. Once a clip is in the trim window it reverts back to full speed. This makes it extremely difficult to get a clip trimmed exactly where I need it because the scrolling is sloppy and the playback is at 4 times the speed I need to see it at. In order to produce a good 1/4 speed segment, I need to be able to trim and watch in 1/4 speed

I film action clips at 120 fps in order to slow them down to 1/4 or .250 speed. I can not use this program for these projects, I have to use GoPro studio which is way ahead of PD 14 in this regard, but has severe limitations and crashes all the time. However, I can scroll back and forth with the cursor in slow motion until I find the perfect moment to start and end my clips. I can't tell you how disappointed I am in Cyber-link for this oversight. It makes the 120fps capability a superficial novelty.

And to top it off, tech support doesn't acknowledge the limitation. The reply I got was that the capability exists, however it doesn't as far as I can tell.

Improve TS and subtitle support
1. Import .ts files sometimes yield strange results.
VLC and Handbrake handle the same file without problems.
2. Would like the ability to import -selectable- subtitle tracks from .ts files and burn into result.
3. And yes, less versions as each updated version has the risk of crashing the installation, loosing PD as the "full" version is not available without purchasing again.

PD15 should be marketed with the physical DVD package(retail version) as this can generally guarantee trouble-free installation, also, and most crucially, the installation of PD15 should not need the internet to activate, simply the typing in of the CD-Key should be sufficient(as in earlier versions of Power Director). This will prevent irate posts from users who cannot activate their software. Basically saying: Installation should be simplified and made far more user-friendly than it is at present with PD14 requiring an internet connection to complete the product activation process.

Ability to hide tracks in the timeline when locked and not intending to make edits. This is not to hide them in the preview as we already have that function.

Ability to lock an element on a timeline instead of having to lock the entire track. Sometimes, there are things on a track that do not need to be moved but other elements still need modifictions.

Ability to split one track at a time. Luthien Tinuviel
