Hi ambientdave -

Looking for "Express"?

If you're using PDR365, you'll see that many of the modules (PiP Designer, Title Designer, Particle Designer) can be used in "Express" mode or Advanced. "Express" mode is just simplified, so there are less editing options. That won't help your needs.

Maybe you mean Video templates? These are templates with placeholders, so you can just insert your videos & photos into a pre-structured template. They're designed around different themes. In previous versions of PDR, these were labeled "Express Projects", so that may be what you're thinking of.

... or maybe you mean Magic Movie Wizard, again in themes, which selects parts of you videos and inserts them into video templates.

... or Theme Designer, which is sort of the same but you select which clips go where.

Have a look under Plugins and check out the options.

Cheers - Tony

HI Tony
Thanks for helping out
I was looking at video showing express mode for making a Youtube channel trailer,but although I have seen the rooms.I cannot see an express mode button to press anywhere

Only been with PDR365 about a week.So I was hoping to make a good Youtube channel trailer without being complicated
Thanks

Hi,

In the latest version the Express Project mode has been superceded by the Video Template mode. Video Templates are accessed via the plugin module or in the Project Room.
