In Studio 9 with your project on the timeline, go to the "Make Movie" tab and once there select create file. Select full size AVI and render out to an AVI file, it may be pretty large (On typical 3 minute video challenge projects mine would turn out to be 600-700MB.

Copy this AVI over to the laptop into a folder where you can import it in PowerDirector as media, and drag it down to the timeline. You will then be able to continue working on it and edit it although all your titles and transitions will be "hard rendered" into place.

I haven't tried scene detection (I converted from tape to flash memory gear and no longer have to "capture") but if the imported AVI media can be treated as if it were a captured file you may be able to run scene detection on it and then be able to drag 'n drop individual clips.

I started with Pinnacle StudioDV and upgraded to 7, then 8, 9, 10, and 11 then recently purchased 12. While I still use it, I'm moving more and more to PowerDirector. You'll find PD7 to be quite an "upgrade" over Studio 9.
