Is there a way to output in 1:1 ratio with Power Director? Either a setting in the files or a workaround?

PDR cannot actually produce a 1:1 video. The best your can do is use a png file as a mask or overlay in a 16:9 project to get the square look you want, essentially the sides blacked out. Then use one of many 3rd party utilities to crop the PD produced video to your 1:1 video that’s in the mask.

Thanks Jeff! Been growing increasingly frustrated with PD's offering over past months, think this might be the final annoyance for me!

In spite of the many shortcomings of PD, I found nothing better in an acceptable price range, and I tried some.
