Hi all,

Hopefully a simple question - I have the latest version of PowerDirector for Mac.

Reading through the manual it suggests that it should be possible to, on a single timeline, overlap two colour boards and apply a crossfade. I don't get this option, it just overwrites the existing colour board.

Any suggestions, please?

Cheers,

Mike

I can achieve the effect by placing different images (coloured boxes.png) onto the timeline then a crossfade is offered. This seems a little clunky. Am I missing something?

Normally overlay the image over the other and you are offered options including Crossfade.
You can also add a "Fade" transition at the junction of the 2 images, being able to choose between; Cross or Overlap
It's always been that way on Windows.

It would appear the the Mac version is different.

It's probably just not a MAC feature yet. It's really hard to know on fine details, this FAQ https://www.cyberlink.com/support/faq-content.do?id=26040 provides some high level features missing.

PD has not always been that way on windows, overlay feature and crossfade didn't appear until PD12, PD11 missing feature as shown in pic so my guess current MAC feature just lacking too.
