Quote Hi,
Does anyone know why Version 12 doesn't even have "video speed" adjustment option, as it's supposed to, within PowerTools?
Is it possible to get this function elsewhere?
Thanks.
Chris

I just checked my version of 12 and video speed was there under the power tools. Have you added the video to the timeline and selected it? I have 5 options under PowerTools.

What level of PowerDirector 12 do you have? Did you buy it or did it come with a piece of hardware (an OEM version)? OEMs often have features removed to teasing you in to buying a full commercal version. .

Yes, I added the video to timeline and selected it.

Not sure what you mean by "what level" of PD12? I have PD 12.05.4601, 64 bit.

I know that when I tried to upload "updates" from Cyberlink's website, it told me I didn't have the proper version to install the updates (which is incorrect as far as I know).

When I click on the video on the timeline, then on PowerTools, I only have three options: Video in Reverse, Video Crop and Video Rotation.

Pretty sure my original version I bought at Best Buy (CD or DVD disk).

Thanks for your time and input.

The latest commercial version of PowerDirector 12 has the "4210" build from June 2015. There are two versions Ultra and Ultimate.

Your build (4601) indicates that it is not the commercial version. It is probably an OEM. Best Buy may have been offering it for sale although they were not supposed to. Are you sure you didn't get it with some hardware - burner/memory/etc.?

OEM versions cannot be updated but you may be able to get a discount on an upgrade. Look for sales on the Cyberlink site.

In any case, you do not have a version that has that speed capabilities. and cannot be updated. .

Yes, I remember now buying at Best Buy, because I was using Corel Video Studio before and had purchased as on on-line uplink. But when I had to get a new laptop, I couldn't get Corel to allow me to upload again.

Thanks for your time and help. Maybe I'll see about an upgrade.

Cheers.
