I have a lot of transitions, PIP objects and particles in PD13, that don't seem to be found in my version of PD14.



How do I migrate all of those objects. These are pre-made ones that came with my version of PD13.



Thanks in advance

Hello, drosenbe08132

There's no real need to do so. The transitions available in PD13 are essentially the same as those available in PD14. This applies also to Particle effects and any other in-built effects that were in PD13, however, in PD14 you might find a couple(transitions, particle effects etc.) that are new in PD14, and were not available in PD13. Over the past few versions of Power Director, I suspect not much will have changed in relation to transitions and such. If they do not appear to be in PD14, it may be because there's a slight variation in how they're presented. Perhaps another contributor may be able to explain this more clearly.

Cheers!

Neil

Neil could be right about this. Let us know how you obtained your version of PD14 and if it was a deluxe, or ultra, or ultimate when compared to what is your PD13 version. Example: ultra has more than deluxe.

Hi, drosenbe08132!

Tomasc is quite right. I forgot that bit. The higher you go in grades within a given version of Power Director, the more "goodies" you get in the bundle! Of course, you have to fork out a few more bucks to get those "goodies" PD14 Ultimate is the top-of-the-line version with everything in it(including the kitchen sink... ha-ha), all the transitions, particle effects and anything else you'll ever need or want. Ultra is the next version down the scale, I figure you might only have the delux version of PD14 as aginst Ultra or Ultimate in PD13, that's probably why you're not seeing as much in each, transitions or particle effects. In some of the transitions, though, in order to save a bit of space, Cyberlink had(probably back as far as PD9) combined some of the transitions, so that when you select one, say Threshold, for instance, to get eith Threshold 1 or 2, you go to "Modify", select between Threshold 1 or 2, then select(optional) between overlap or cross for the transition's behaviour.

Cheers!

Neil.

If you're sticking to the same version of PD all of the "content" date is kept and is visible if you look at the installed apps in window's program directory. Win 10, i7

my bad...

When I upgraded to PD14, I was in a hurry to get a project done and only ran the upgrade program. In all honesty, I usually don't use much of the extra content in my day to day editing, but like to play with them.

I went back and saw that I never installed the content modules. When I did that, i did get all of the objects that I was 'missing'.

Thanks for your support and input.
