You can convert images to a time lapse now in version 10 which is nice, but you cannot do anything to the time lapse until after its rendered which defeats the purpose. If I crop a 12mp image I can zoom in quite a ways / pan around without loosing any optical resolution.

By rendering it to 1080, then editing it after the fact, any cropping will diminish the optical quality of the time lapse.

"you cannot do anything to the time lapse until after its rendered"

That is not exactly the case. You can add any effects to the time lapse, such as Zoom In and Zoom Out. What is missing is the ability to position the image. If you had the NewBlueFX Pan and Zoom effect, you could position the image.

The best thing, though, is to batch crop the images in an image editor such as Photoshop before importing them into PowerDirector. Gateway DX4380, AMD A8-5500 Quad Core 3.2GHz with ATI Radeon HD 7560D; 16GB RAM; 1 TB SATA 7200 RPM; Windows 8 Pro 64-bit; PDR11, PDVD12.
