I just tried the Motion Tracking mask in CD4. There may be some difference in this version as I had to close it with the task manager leaving the black background before I can change it to green. Chroma key out the black background worked well. See this video at: http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/48775.page#post_box_286782 . Will be trying more later.

Edit: In CD4 the Original Color and New Color icons or buttons with the red slash do not highlight when you place the mouse cursor on them like all the other buttons in Colordirector or Powerdirector. Clicking on the New Color button more than once seem to have cause the problem. The workaround is don’t click that button again thinking that it did not take. Wait!! for the popup window.

Have been successful with other motion tracking masks on clips with the workaround.

Thanks for sharing your results Tomas. I was a little concerned about the issue you had in CD4 until you reported back that it was working fine. Subscribe to PowerDirector University on YouTube.

I get this question all the time. "How do I save a video?" Some people are trying to save where they left off in the editing process and others are trying to create a file to view a video. In this video I explain the difference between saving a project and producing a video.
