I have what is effectively a title screen that I've created, but it consists of a pile of PIP objects that appear at different times. There are also sound effects involved.

I'd like to share it, but I'm not sure how to do it or even if it can be done. It would have to be a packaged project, I guess, unless somebody can think of a way to flatten it. Produce it as a video and upload it that way? Jerry Schwartz

FAQ
How do I upload content I created to DirectorZone?

You can create your own content with CyberLink PowerDirector 7 only, and then upload it right from your PC to DirectorZone.

That is all I can find. 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.

Hi jerrys,

It appears by your question, that you've already figured this out, but...
You can not upload a custom effect (e.g. PIP Object, Motion Object, Title Template, Particle, etc), to the DirectorZone Effects Gallery, that is comprised of multiple tracks/PIPs. All the elements in your custom effect or Title Screen that you may wish to share, must be contained within a single Motion Object, Text Template, or Particle, etc. And audio can not be included in an effect.

Also, it is not possible to upload a packed project to the DZ, as the DZ does not have the facility for, or a category for, hosting and retrieving packed projects.

As far as sharing your Title Screen as a video sequence. One does not upload videos to the DZ Video Gallery, only the timelines (if you choose to do so).
The videos displayed on the DZ Video Gallery, are only embeds of your Youtube videos, that you have authorized to be displayed on the DZ. Thus, if you wanted to share your Title Screen as a video, then the potential recipient would have to grab it off of your Youtube channel.
But, you could make this Title Screen video, or packed project, available for download, on a file sharing site like… 4Shared, or Mediafire, etc.

In short, it would be doable, if not for the fact that it can't be done.

Oh, well... It's not as though this would have set the world on fire.

It's a short sequence of lit birthday candles popping (with sound effects) into existence on a black background. If anyone wants it, send me a PM. Jerry Schwartz
