Hi all,

I am compleet new here and want to create my first movie.
I install the Powerdirector 365 on my mac book.
now i created a new project and import content (photos and movies) from the native macos Photo application.
Inside Powerdirector 365 al files are uploaded and shown not in the correct order. I selected the created date as also the modifed date, both have the date when the import to Powerdirector was started. So is there anyone here that can give me a small help to import these content files on the right way?

Greetings,
Paheve

To clarify, PD doesn't "import" files in any particular order, but once the clips are in the Media Room you can sort them in various ways.

On my Windows machine, when I set the view to Details I have a column for Created Date (but not for Modified Date). The date shown is correct for the imported media:

If you're seeing the dates reset to when you imported the clips into PD, I suggest you open a support tickect directly with CL tech support. You can reach them here.
