Fellow PD users -

Here’s a new tutorial created by vn800rider (Adrian), that shows a workaround allowing PD12 users to use MultiCam Designer to automatically sync up a four camera shoot.

Instead of the four cam shoot being mixed to a single track in PD12’s main interface, this workaround allows PD12 users to populate the four cam auto-synced results, to four separate tracks in the main interface.

The tutorial only applies to PD12, but may be useful for PD10 users considering upgrading.

Fellow PD users -

Forum member and PDtoots founder, Cranston, has done it again... pushing PD to its limits and going boldly where no man has been...

The latest tutorial posted on PDtoots shows how to create a freeform transition effect using PiP Designer. PD12 users have the advantage of being able to copy & paste keyframes to repeat the transition, but the same effect can also be achieved in PD10 & 11.

Fellow PD Users -

There's a new tutorial posted on our PDtoots channel that applies to ALL versions of PowerDirector.

The tutorial - made by Adrian (vn800rider) demonstrates how to shoot, create, and use a custom Chroma Key hand/finger pointer. It also contains some useful tips on disciplining your finger

There's a set of sample "pointer" clips available in the video description.

Members -

Nina, forum Senior Contributor, has assembled a collection of inventive ideas for Creating Custom Motion Backgrounds and has posted a tutorial on our PDtoots channel.

This toot provides some creative approaches and plenty of "how to", and might even spark some artistic flair in the rest of us.

Thank you for your work & creativity, Nina!
