I recently installed PowerDirector 11 with the Essential content pack and the Premium content pack.

NONE of the titles available to me have Fade In and Fade Out.

That is grayed out for ALL titles.

Is this a bug?

Did something go wrong in the install? Even titles that clearly are set to fade in and out have the Fade In and Fade Out option unavailable to turn on or off.

Also, there is also nothing like as simple text fade or a rolling credit like after a movie.I know I had both of them available on my other PC.

I do not want or need color spalshes, or race cars, or palm trees, or clovers, or ANYTHING. I just want simple text that will FADE IN and FADE OUT at the start or end of movies, and sometimes a rolling scroll of credits at the end of a movie on a simple black backround.

I think you might be looking at the "Image Settings" in the Title editing block. See if the attached pic helps at all.

Ah YES!

Forget that only works on images!

But there was something weird going on as sliding the fade in and fade out bars was having no bearing on anything.

But it is working now that I started up my PC and relaunched PD11.

Thanks!

Now, what about the movie credit titles? They are not included with either "pack" I have. Where would I have downloaded them?

If you look at all content in titles there is a "Scroll Up" that might be good enough. You can change the starting and ending effect like how the fade option was set to a Scroll effect or you can download some "Movie Credits" at http://directorzone.cyberlink.com
