Hi all

Has anyone else come across any problems with go pro recordings done in 17:9, then rendered in pd12 and uploaded to youtube ?

When I upload a 17:9 recording from my go pro camera to youtube in it`s original straight out the camera state, it uploads and displays normally.

However when I process the same file in cyberlink pd12 and then upload to youtube the video becomes a barely visible letterbox version.

The obvious question is why are you recording in the non-standard 17:9? (very wide and not as tall) YouTube is working with 4K (I think). Are you doing all your work in UHDV (4K?) When you work with the vidoe in PowerDirector are you selecting all the options related to 4K.

Please upload a 5 second video directly out of the GoPro so we can try working with it and propose a solution.

I think you are getting exactly what you are uploading to YouTube from Power Director. .
