I bought Power director 12 Ultimate, it came with a 2nd bonus disc which claims is $400 worth of "extra Premium Effects" I installed this bonus disc, and it took quite a while to install, and while it was installing, all the extra content was flashing up on the screen which got me excited at just how much content there is.

So where has it all gone?

When i use PD12 to do simple editing of my video, i can't find anything much new with regards to effects, if i look for a sound effect, I see a list of hundreds but if i wanted to use any, i have to purchase them, so what exactly is worth $400 if it keeps needing me to purchase anything extra effects?

Martin -

I guess you're referring to the "bonus" effects shown on this page - http://www.cyberlink.com/products/powerdirector-ultimate/features_en_AU.html?affid=2581_1095_728_37271_0_ENU

NBFX is in the FX room
Travel Pack - Magic Style, Title sets, Disc Menus
Romance Pack - Disc Menus
Holiday Pack - Magic Style, Particles & PiP Objects

Short answer - scattered throughout PD's libraries

Cheers - Tony

I can only find Holiday pack4 in the pip object room,
theres only around 30 disc menus with travel and romance included, which look to me as only being one or two menus.

Should background music/sound effects be included? because i notice that virtually all sound clips need downloading and paying for.

I really can't see how these few effects and menus are worth $400

please give me a clue of where the FREE sound effects are located

Hi Martin -

Here are the details of what's in each of those packs:

NBFX Essentials II - http://www.newbluefx.com/products/essential-tools/video-essentials-2
NBFX Essentials III - http://www.newbluefx.com/products/essential-tools/video-essentials-3
Travel Pack 2 - http://www.cyberlink.com/products/creative-design-packs/vacation-2_en_AU.html
Romance Pack 3 - http://www.cyberlink.com/products/creative-design-packs/romance-3_en_AU.html
Holiday Pack 4 - http://www.cyberlink.com/products/creative-design-packs/holidays-4-pdr_en_AU.html

There may be some audio tucked away inside the styles & menus, but there are no "dedicated" sound effects.

DirectorZone has free SFX uploaded for sharing - http://directorzone.cyberlink.com/effect/SOUND#SOUND_299_createtime_0_ALL_WORLDWIDE_thumb_1
