Quote: Hi,

Lately I've taken to use H.264 AVC(MP4) to render sequences for a video I'm putting together. I figure MP4 to be a lossless file type(meaning I don't expect it to degrade after a couple of renderings). The camera I currently use is a Canon Legria HF R506, which shoots video in either AVCHD or MP4(selectable between either), so I've selected MP4. When I import the clips to my computer for editing, those clips show up in my "media library" with shadow files still generating(corner pip going from yellow to green). My problem is not with the shadow files, in fact, I find I can pull the clip onto my timeline and trim it down as needed even while the shadow file is still generating.




Shadow files are temporary, stored in hidden folder.

They are deleted automatically after 30 days or manually in PD configurations.

For the best quality Produce use Intelligent SVRT if possible.

I'd like to know what is to enable shadow file.

I use file in capture .MTS MPEG-4 AVC / H.264


Allow shadow file, it converts the files for HD or FullHD in MPEG2 (SD 720x480) this to make editing but light on the timeline.

By adding HD files or higher in PD, starts immediately reveal the conversion.

There is a specific folder for this hidden shadow files.
Editing HD 60P .MOV files.It was very heavy (slow) editing on the timeline.

Activated shadow files, improved more still very heavy.

Then I copy the shadow files, and edited from them, got better, like when I edit files MPEG2 (SD 720x480) which is standard I think.

PD renames shadow files, in my case had many files, used this sofware ReNamer to leave the name the same as the original files, PD worked well.

Renamed the folder MEPG2 files.

Reopened project, to redirect PD folder with the original file to produce output in HD or DVD using a personal profile, works well for me.

(Signature PC)

(For shadow copy files must activate show files / folders hidden and system, Windows)

It would be good PD works with shadow files without all this maneuver.
Quote: Hello,

Over the years I have installed PD 8 9 11 and now 14. During the period I downloaded a number of Titles into the above programmes. Could someone please advise as to HOW I can import and get previous,downled Title into PD14?

Thanks...................Darcy




If you have installed on the same PC PD14, PD must add all personal and download effects in the library.

Native Effects of PD is added when you install, CyberLink_PowerDirector14_ContentPack_Essential and Premium

See s
Another option, see the screenshot.

Check, volume per track for less than 50.

Here, reopen projeto, volume per track moves to zero, for this case.
Quote: Hi i'm new to editing and new to PowerDirector.

I was Just wondering if its possible to make your video look like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV2n-_TT8O8 with powerdirector. To add the background like that. Or do you need another type of software in order to do that?

Cheers


An easy way to make the displayed video.

1 - Add a background image on track 1.

2 - Add the video in track 2, if you want to add black border to the video.

3 - Add text, track Titles
Removed

I do not know if it has to do with your case.

Here several times I delete a file in the timeline and he insists on staying there.

The solution for me is to save and reopen the project, decides in most cases.

Another option back (Undo) to where the project was normal.

Open the (auto save) project, which was saved before presenting the problem.
In my opinion, you can delete all the original files (if necessary, to free hard drive space).

Open the main project from the folder (package) to make sure everything is present.

Project files (parts) I copied into the folder (package) if you need to go back to one, could open that way since the original files are there, just need to redirect them to open the project (part)
Hi Ronk, ynotfish showed very well how to do.

I use add fade only in track 2.

It works well for me.
In this case here I use the option, Remove From Library, so I can save the same file (same name) of the existing one.

I do not know a way to avoid add file to library.

Close and reopen this project is, depending on the project this can take a long time.
Quote: After save of a project, the audio volumes is allways on ZERO.

Thus when i open the project, The sound is allways gone.

Why???


Here I have an error with PD13 which I think is the same as you show only happens when you change the volume track.

It happens when I lower the volume track, below 50, after saving and reopening the project volume went to zero.

Increasing above 50, then reopen the project back to 50.

Solution I use, adjust the volume last and save video.

To reopen project again adjust the volume for track
You experienced back between the various project autosave files.

As I had a problem similar to yours has been solved using the autosave project.
You can copy the folder My Particles of PC1, paste on PC2.

C:\Users\PC name\Documents\CyberLink\PowerDirector\12.0\MyParticles

C:\Users\PC name\Documents\CyberLink\PowerDirector\13.0\MyParticles
Small problem with effect particles.

Video shows the different behavior of the same effect on PD13 and PD14.

Movement, smooth the way I want

Movement, nervous and too scattered.

hard to set equal to PD13

ynotfish, Thanks for correcting me

You're right I was just going to post what you've shown now.

I could have sworn I did the same test before and did not realize this difference.

Before it was different, it was more visible image distortion.

PlaySound - DS4 = DirectorSuite 4... and are you saying that, with the 2207 beta patch installed, you don't have the same aspect ratio issues with PDR?

Cheers - Tony


Yes I had the problem with PIP v.2207.

I returned to v2019, new installation, updated straight to v2207.

Note: You still have error that is less perceived
Dafydd B You'll need to re-install DS4 and deselect everything but PDR14. You should then get only PDR14 re-installed and it should overwrite the beta.


What does DS4?

I do not remember well, I guess installed PD14, v2019 updated to v2207.

Now PIP desinger worked well here.
Easy way in my view, select the clip in the timeline, the preview window is shown a circle in the center, hold and rotate to the correct position.

If you need to adjust the size to act on the edges of the image, hold and drag.
One suggestion, select the MP3 audio, button Edit Audio / Wave Editor, make any edits to guarantee creating new audio file.

Close to the WE, in PD13 has added new audio and should show the wave.

Select this new audio as well as video audio, Audio by Sync, button.

PD13 should synchronize 2 audios, disable the audio you do not.
