I am using Power Director 15 in Windows 7 Pro......Easy Editor and I need to know how to arrage the photos so that I can make the photos that I want to be first and last. As it is now, it seems to randomly select the first and last photo.

Hi gskywalkers -

Even though you're working in "Easy Editor" mode, you're actually making it a little more difficult for yourself... as in, there's a bit less flexibility. It's effectively like using Magic Style/Movie Wizard.

BUT - from Easy Editor, you can select "Edit in Theme Designer" or "Advanced Editing" (then Theme Designer). This will allow you to change the order of photos/videos.

In other words, if you want to control things more, it's better to start in the "Full Feature Editor" then go to Theme Designer. That way, you can use the templates but have more control.

Cheers - Tony

Hi Tony.......I am still having problems with this. I am able to go into the Full Feature Editor and arrange the photos but I don't see how to get into the Theme Designer at this point and use the templates.
