Hi,

Yes, i did search the forums first and even read the one you posted to, but nothing was conclusive.

I was assuming that Cyberlink 365 would have them included in the package, given how many people use it for
youtube videos, but seems not.

I've emailed support to see of they can guide me in the right direction as something so simple shouldn;t be this difficult.

Thanks

The best thing to do is to make your subscribe button video seperately, render it on a green background, and just reuse that for your videos going forward. Barring that, there are freebies online like this one: https://pixabay.com/videos/subscribe-youtube-subscribe-29881/. You can resize that and use a chroma key to put it where you want it.

Hi,

Thanks! Looks like I'll have to do it this way then.

Not the quickest or user friendly way, I'm beginning to think I've wasted my money subbing to this software. Can't Mute individual clips within one track (a simple, highlight the clips, right click, mute selected clips would suffice) but no, can only mute ALL clips in a track, not selected. STUPID! And now not even some simple subscribe icons available in the templates etc.

I appreciate your help but I'm going to see if i can get refunded and try an alternative like Filmora etc.

Thanks!

I completely understand your desire to get simple things done easily. My experience with PD is that most of the simple things CAN be done easily once you get the hang of this software. This is of course the case with virtually every editing software.
Admittingly, with PD doing things is not always so obvious, but in far most of the times I discovered how to do things, either by searching this forum (as Optodata pointed out, most of the questions have been answered), or on YouTube (where you can find a number of excellent tutorials by true experts). With PD, you can do most of the simple things easily and it has a ton of features that enable you to do almost everything with your video.
Muting a single clip, by the way, CAN be done by selecting the clip, right clicking the menu and tick the mute clip in the menu, as you suggest. Another way is: select the clip and drag the blue audio line to change the volume (up is louder, completely down is mute). There are more ways of changing the audio. And the green line of the selected clip is for the video/image: moving the line up or down changes the opacity.

Hi Warry,

Thanks. Yes, like most software, things become easier as you go and I do Like PD, but having to use green sreens etc for a simple Subscribe icon seems a VERY long winded way of doing it. Some simple Subscribe/like icons built in would save a tonne of time.

As for muting clips, i can mute one at a time but what i want to do is, highlight say, the first twent short clips, mute them, add music over it and then the 21st clip, is me talking to camera, which i dont want to mute, nor do i really want to have separate time stamps, because i have a lot of clips where sometimes i dont want to mute, sometimes i do, but being able to mute all the one's i dont at the same time, would be save a LOT of time.

Thanks for your help and suggestions
