So I finally took a look at PD13.
What I was talking about is the "Multicam designer" which was the only way to synchronize audio and video in PD12, and is still available in PD13.
See the pic of the "multicam designer" attached in PD13.
In this screen, you can click "import audio" and then "audio analysis".
This same "multicam designer" was already available in PD12.
Except in PD12, syncing a video 48 kHz video with a 96 kHz WAV file fails in "Multicam designer".
But in PD13, it works.
PD13 also adds the ability to "sync by audio" in the timeline, which is the screen you showed.
That is indeed very nice, and much better than using "Multicam designer" to make a composite video.
This is especially useful when using more than one camera and syncing with audio. This is the way it should have been all along.
I believe this may be worth the price of upgrading to PD13 with the current Halloween promotion.
However, I still can't find any way to produce a video file with embedded 96 kHz audio.
In the profile, when I select "audio" and "LPCM" the only option is 1536 kbps which is 1536 /2 (stereo) /2 (16 bit) / 8 (bits per byte) = 48 kHz.
I would like to be able to use 96 kHz 24-bit stereo audio, which is a 4608 kbps rate - the rate of the source material.
I can do that thing in Sony Moviestudio Platinum 12 . I still can't do it in any version of PowerDirector
Of course, Moviestudio Platinum 12 is otherwise slow as molasses for encoding, and doesn't have any of this nice multicam editing.
