A primary camera of mine is the DJI FC200, the stock camera on their Phantom2 Vision+ quadcopter. Adobe Lightroom has a profile of this camera but Cyberlink products do not. However, I have the specs obtained from the profile used with Lightroom. Is there a way I can create a custom lens profile for PowerDirector 14?

Hi Ian -

PDR doesn't have a custom lens profile maker. You can download profiles from DirectorZone, but the only two available for DJI are FC300S & HG310. Have you tried the included profiles for DJI?

When you go to DZ, you can lodge a request for a particular profile too http://directorzone.cyberlink.com/pdr/lens?AP=PDR&Version=14&versionType=Ultimate&utm_source=pdr&utm_medium=14&utm_campaign=LensCorrection&sortby=4:3&uuid=S-1-5-21-3362682008-2567394851-670769973-1001-DE2CA421-F5B0-4CCA-B0D1-90D3072032E6

You can also import profiles - but only if they're in .pdlcp format.

Cheers - Tony

Tony, what about the Profile Generator maker program? I know it's complicated, and I can't even find the link. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

Haha - you mean this one that I forgot about completely? Thanks for reminding me Barry.

One thing for sure, it generates profiles in the right format - .pdlcp

Here's the user guide - http://directorzone.cyberlink.com/MemberCreation/web/phd5/LensProfileGenerator_UserGuide.pdf

Not sure how it works for video, but I guess if you took a series of stills it could work.

Thanks Tony and Barry for your replies.

I don't have PhotoDirector. I didn't get it while I moved from Corel to Cyberlink. I got the Ultimate Suite not the Directors Suite.

And yes, I have made a request for a profile and I am aware of the 2 DJI lenses.

(I do have proDAF Defisher software. It has a lens profile and it does video and stills. I was hoping for one less step in my workflow.)

Cheers,
Ian.

A different but related query...where does PD keep its lens profiles? I'm wondering if it's possible to hack a profile together based on existing profiles.
