Is the version of Wave Editor that comes with PD9 a limited version? I can't seem to make the simplest trim because I can't get a left trim arrow. The right one starts at the beginning of the audio clip.

Also, as a general statement. PD9 and its attendant programs have lousy documentation. For example, if you edit audio in PD9 (not Wave Editor) and save it, you can change or give it an "alias." Not certain how that works, I did a word search on the PD9 Manual for "alias" but it doesn't exist. A read through doesn't reveal too much about it either. The "documentation" for Wave Editor is a help file. Maybe if there was decent documentation, a dummy like me could make it work. In the old days, there were independent books you could buy for most programs including video editors. I searched Amazon but couldn't find one for PD9. I'd love to get one written by someone who assumes the reader is an idiot.

Still a good program though.

Look up the word "alias" in a dictionary.

You will find the meaning of the word.

Alias is exactly that in Powerdirector and in Wave Editor.
It is another name for the original file. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

Carl, I assume you are being facetious, but I suspect you'll have to go to your dictionary for that one. HP Pavilion Elite 410f.

Hi, I'm a newbie to PowerDirector 9 and am currently trialling it.

However, I cannot get the WaveEditor to work. When I right click an audio track and select Edit in Wave Editor it loads the file and then a warning box comes up saying :

"CyberLink PowerDirector could not launch Cyberlink Wave Editor. Try Reinstalling the wave editor program.

I downloaded the trial version of PD9 twice and each time it wont operate the wave editor.

Any Suggestions here ?

I have Sony Vegas platinum 10 and TrakAxpc Pro but I must say I do really like PD9....if only I could get the Wave Editor to work ?

Regards,

Okay, I've managed to fix the wave editor problem on my 30 day trial.

I extracted the files from my CNET installation file and there was no Wave Editor whatsoever in either of my 2 downloads.

Soo, I've just downloaded a copy of PD9 from Softpedia and extracted the wave editor from that file and installed it from my desktop.

All is sweet now.
