Sorry folks, but I've got to vent a little again as I am extremely frustrated with PowerDirector 16 (and some previous versions 15, 14, etc.).

Let me start by saying I really love the simplicity of PowerDirector and Cyberlink's overall product line (AudioDirector, PhotoDirector, and ColorDirector).

While there are a number of improvements being made to PowerDirector on a whole, the Dev's really need to look at one that will improve multi-cam workflow immensely. I have listed this issue in the last two or three "what would you like to see added to the next release" posts. It seems the lights may be on but nobody's home and it's driving me crazy. This is my issue.

In nine out of ten cases, I'm almost always doing a 3 or 4 camera shoot. When it comes time to synchronize and edit the 3 or 4 camera shoot, I have to go back to my ole standby multi-camera editor (Adobe Premiere CS6) to do my multi-cam editing because of one feature that PD does not have.

There is no option in PD to will allow for "Audio Follow Video" when doing a multi-cam edit.

Sure you pick Cam 1, 2, 3, or 4 as well as choose imported audio. The limitation in particular for only being able to select JUST ONE CAMERA'S AUDIO is really mind-boggling. While I do sometimes import external audio depending on the shoot, at other times, I choose to use the audio coming from each camera, again depending on the camera.

How hard would be to simply add ONE MORE OPTION to select as the audio source that you would like to use--in this case, that option would allow the audio to follow the video when switching video from Cam 1 to Cam 2, etc.

Anyway, while it may never happen, at least I'm feeling a little better now that I've gotten that off my chest.

Thanks for listening. This forum really makes for a good therapist
