Quote: I'd like to be able to use Audacity to crossfade two clips on an audio track. Is there any way I can export the track for editing?

If you want to export the Audio from Powerdirector, there are a couple of ways.

1. Right click on the video in the media library > export Audio. That makes a WAV file in your Export Folder as defined in preferences > file.


2. Put the video or audio on a timeline track. Go to Produce, Produce Audio (two music notes), you can choose Windows Media (WMA) audio, MPeg4 audio(M4A) or WAV (waveform audio) in several qualities.

Once you have your audio format, edit in Audacity as you wish. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

Not sure of your question. You could on your timeline do a Produce Range/Produce/Waveform Audio and then open that produced file in Audacity to do what you want. Save that altered file in Audacity and import that to PD14. I don't know of a direct way of using Audacity as a plug-in for PD14. Other users may know. It may have been done on earlier versions of PD.

Thanks, guys. Tomasc, no I wasn't trying to use Audacity as a plug-in, I just didn't realize that producing the audio alone was an option.

Carl, using your method #2, if I just wanted to export one audio or music track, and not all the project audio, could I just mute the tracks I don't want before producing? Would that allow me just to produce the remaining track, edit it, then re-import it?

Thanks again... Regards,

You could use the orange range finder arrows on the scrubber to select the area/video, then Produce Range.

The produce range can produce a Audio only file. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.
