Unable to download from Freesound in PDR12...

Hello. I am unable to download audio clips from Freesound through the PowerDirector Import Media menu. I get to the Terms of Use prompt, accept it then the download window comes up. When I search, nothing shows up in the window. However, the same steps in WaveEditor do bring up the clips and I am able to successfully download them there. So at least I have a workaround. It would just be more convenient if I was able to just get to the clips in PDR12.

I searched this forum but I did not come across any solutions (thus far, anyway). Any suggestions
Thanks. Mike B.

Hi. Using build 2930.

Downloads from DirectorZone work like a charm. Still puzzled about this issue. After my initial post, I tried downloading from Flickr and was unsuccessful. I don't have accounts for Freesound or Flickr, but it's my understanding that it isn't required. I'm supposed to be able to download without setting up accounts for those two sites, directly in PowerDirector... Mike B.

Good call. Thanks. I'll check that. So I assume it works for you?

I don't get any alerts, or errors, though. Just no response at all...

My Freesound works in both V11 and 12, not much help there.

I saw that noted in another thread, I forgot about that.
You can also go directly to Freesound, but that removes the integration within PD that is so appealing. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

OK. Thanks everyone. I appreciate all the help.
I guess I have to chalk this one up as "unresolved"?
Maybe it'll work in version 13? Mike B.
