Produce Only Clip Markers

Hello, I am using Power Director 365. Is there a shortcut to either:
1/ Produce all clips in my timeline that have a clip marker associated with them? OR
2/ Remove from my timeline all clips that do not have a marker associated with them?

I realize I can manually delete the clips I don't want & then Produce the remaining clips (which I mark with a clip marker). I am trying to learn whether there is a quicker way to do so.

Hello,

Neither of these features are available. But, I suggest you try just producing a range of the timeline, i.e. just where the clip markers are. See the help for details:

As long as you know which clips you'd like to mark ahead of time, try placing them on a different track. When it comes time to produce, disable the "non-clip marker" track(s) for your first request, then re-enable them and disable the "clip marker track(s)" for your second request.

If you don't know which clips are in which cataegory when you're starting the project, simply move them to the appropriate track as needed.

Hi,

Building on what optodata suggested, you can always use ctrl-Select to select a series of non-sequential clips (as opposed to Shift-select for sequential clips).

This would give you an easy/quick way to select all your clips with a particular clip marker (s).

At this point you could go either a simple or more sophisticated route.

Simple - 1 type of clip marker, say blue

In effect this gives you a temporary "group" of blue clips.

Drag this group down to your spare track, disable all other tracks and produce your clip marked clips.

After production place them back in the original timeline track as a single group.


More sophisticated - multiple types of clip marker say blue, yellow, red. green etc.

After ctrl-selecting all the blue - make a group of them (ctrl-G or rt-click>Group)
After ctrl-selecting all the yellow -make another group of them
Repeat for other colored clip marked clips

These differing groups will remain when the project is saved and will stay as groups until ungrouped and can be moved to spare tracks for production or whatever.....

Might be worth trying for your scenario??
