I sent a clip over to Audio Director to remove a large number of clicking sounds. I was able to remove them completely. I hit the exit button and clicked to send it back to Power Director 16. When I played it on the timeline, none of the changes I had done in Audio Director were represented in the clip on my timeline. All the clicks were still there. Did I miss an important step here?

Update --- I worked with Audio Director for another hour or so, and realized there were changes/improvements to the audio. It didn't remove all of the clicks, but it did remove about 30 - 40% of them. My guess is that it simply isn't able to remove all forms of noise. I'll need to resort to extracting them by cutting them out one by one.

Hi Terry, this is something we've all done at some point.
You have to save and render the audio adjustments before you'll hear them in PD. Maybe in future updates, AudioDrector will allow the adjustments to be passed over to PD without processing just as you can now do with ColorDirector. Fingers crossed

Cheers

Hi Terry Lee Martin

I've had to re-install AD after some problems I experienced and I'm pleased to tell you that using AD to edit audio from PowerDirector timeline really DOES export the changes back into the PowerDirector timeline.

So Terry, you need to try a re-install.

Cheers

Dave, to do a re-install, do I just use the .exe I received when I purchased the bundle, or do I need to download from the website? Complexity is primarily an illusion. It disappears with Knowledge.

Hi Terry, Just use the .exe. Once the exe is selected ( I have the complete Cyberlink package so it may be slightly different for you ) f just select what program you need and click on the OK .
Depending on your set up you maybe asked if you want to re-instal, if this happens just select Yes.
I actually used windows 10 un-install to un-instal AD but keep to my settings, it's all very clever, well, sort of

I've found over the months that I've needed to re-instal some progs a couple of times, I don't know why I'm sure it's just my set up but it all works.

Good luck & Cheers
