Hello everybody. I know this post is a bit old, but I ran into the same question with no solution ( I mean, answer is just "no").
As posted in other topics in this forum, the term "effects" in power director mean something like "processing video image" but in directorzones, effects are just moving particles, objects, adding titles, background image, with some motion.
Many of them can be easily built from scratch, but of course, they can save time and give many ideas.
What I understand the original questions mean is "effect" in the first sense: "processing video image" which are not so trivial to build and sometimes it's not possible unless programming powerdirector or adding dlls.
Of course, It cannot be done by end users, but It would be good if Cyberlink could offer some "addons" for effects to donwload like an extention pack to install in an existing PD, but with real video effects, not only particles, images and DVD menus, or maybe just, leaving an API open to users, so that video image processing and complex effects can be developed and easily added by end users.
Has anybody found a solution to this?
Regards, Eze
