In Powerdirector 9, deleting transitions from a slideshow was as simple as selecting the first transition, holding down the shift key and selecting the last transition. This would highlight all the transitions and allow them to be deleted at once. Much to my dismay, in Powerdirector 10 this functionality no longer exists. The workaround is to select each transition separately while holding down the Ctrl key. For a project that has many transitions, this is exhausting. Is there any way to submit a request to have this functionality restored in Powerdirector 10? I'm sure it's a simple code change that was probably forgotten in version 10. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hello,

I have the same problem. I have not found a way to delete multiple transitions by one command. I also use PD10 64bit...

Anybody can help us on that one?

Thanks,
Thomas

Hi Bill -

I agree with you completely. It's a pain!

I'm not sure about your PD9, but I expect it would be just like mine. In my PD9, the shift operation doesn't happen either. All media & transitions are selected - not just the transitions. Just like PD10. PD8 - yes. PD9 & 10 - no.

It is disappointing (euphemism) when you're a consistent user of the software, from version to version, & features are removed without being replaced by anything. We could make a long list of those with PD.

Cheers - Tony
