I've been kindly reminded about what prompted me to (incorrectly) state that it was "impossible" to roll back to an earlier build of PDR... Ignoring my exaggeration of the facts, it is possible that rolling back in that way (installing a previous patch without uninstalling first) may cause issues:
compatibility between DLLs & interdependancies, depending on what was modified between update patches
Essentially, you end up with an "inconsistent set of installs" (to quote my guardian angel friend).
Fair question! It cannot be done in Title Designer.
That "grey" isn't really grey - it's a semi-transparent background. When it's inserted over a video or photo it's barely even noticeable.
Here's a modified version where the background is completely transparent. All I did was modify the background graphic "wb-fs8.png" found in C:\Users\Public\CyberLink\Downloaded Titles to make it fully transparent.
There you go - thie quirks of the system! There are variables all over the place. Different OS. Different media players. Different versions of different media players...
You're right tomasc. MediaInfo reads the produced file as 1280x720 (16:9) with a 90° rotation. Video Info does the same, but doesn't list an orientation flag.
That would be a useful feature! or even a reset button, so that you could apply adjustments to all clips in the timeline then reset particular clips to their original state.
Why not use "Apply to All", then just re-insert you opening & ending sequences as either produced files or inserted projects?
tomasc is correct here. For your purposes you need a genuine video loop, where the last frames lead smoothly into the first frames of the repeated clip.
There are plenty of cloud loops available online. Some are free - others not. Two examples here.
Note: If you use a fade transition between the clips, make sure it's set to overlap-type. Not cross-type!
It is not, as far as I can tell, a problem with how PDR is producing the 9:16 video. It is a problem with how Media Player Classic - Home Cinema is interpreting the aspect ratio data.
Sorry - I can't replicate your issue. Colours in the original & produced file are (as good as) identical. In the attached screenshot, half is the original & half is the produced file.
Your provided clip is AVC 1280x720 @26Mbps. I produced using SVRT to AVC MP4 1280x720 @ 26Mbps. You can download the produced file here.
So - I'm not sure what's happening at your end without further information.
I really don't know what's happening there. You seem to be doing everything correctly.
Someone just "knocked on my door" and asked, "Has that 360 guy installed the latest patch for PDR15?" There was a related issue resolved by an earlier patch. Just make sure you're running PDR15.0.2820.0
OK - that helps a bit... & it shows there's something else wrong. In PDR15, you only have 11 title templates in total, including your 2 custom jobs. My PDR15 has 150+, not including custom & downloaded.
Did you install the Contents Packs that came with PDR15? (this is quite a separate issue from the one you've posted).
Could you please:
Select one of the custom title folders in C:\Users\UserName\Documents\CyberLink\PowerDirector\14.0\MyTitles
Zip it - right click > send to Compressed (zipped) folder
Obviously the clip should be displaying properly in CDR. Have you tried reinstalling your GPU driver?
When you say you "saved a file" I assume you mean "produce". Yes? What format profile was used? Strange that PDR doesn't even recognise it in the folder when you try to import.
Attached: CDR properties of clip (shot at 960fps but converted in-camera). Produced file imported into PDR.
So, you opened the PDR14 "MyTitles" folder - copied all the contents (subfolders named Title_000 etc) - pasted those folders into the PDR15 "MyTitles" folder... and the custom templates don't appear in PDR15?
Could you attach a screenshot of each of those folders & PDR15's Title Room - - Custom?
I'm sure Steve wasn't implying anything about your PDR8 being stolen or hacked. It's a fact that, where a version of PDR comes installed with a PC, it is not a full retail version.
When you open your PDR8 "About" screen (shown in one of your screenshots), you'll see that it says PowerDirector DE 8.0.4527. This table shows a comparison between Ultra, Deluxe, HE & DE versions.
Unfortunately, very few forum members would be using a DE version of PDR8, so it's difficult/impossible to test your issue... which seems to be resolved using the full version of PDR14.
