However, you can move the box by dragging with the blue dot in the centre.

Yes, the box can be moved, but this is not a solution. I have a side-by-side 3d video (reso 2688x1552 pixels; Media Library-Properties-Set 3D source format-2D), and want to produce a mono video from the left part of the 3d video (1344x1552). I go to PD15/tools/powertools/crop/zoom. As no aspect ratio fits my need I select freeform. I use the left upper white ball to point to my left upper corner of the video. All other white balls move (?), and hence the zoom area moves. But so far so good, my left upper ball is in the right spot now. I now take the right bottom white ball to locate the ball to the bottom mid of the video, and lo and behold, the left edge (white balls) start to move towards the centre of the video, while I am dragging the right bottom white ball.
How can I do freeform, when the crop area moves around w/o my wish?
Seems a bug or ba UI logic to me.

When you get a single frame, are you using the 3D tab in Produce? If not PD will remove one side and produce a 2D video.
My goal is to get 3D output, so I have not looked at single frame (2d) processing.

Tried using output/produce setting 3D/Side-by-side full width which resulted in 4 side-by-side frames. Haaa! Not expected..
Seems that if incoming video is side-by-side, then 3D export/produce is not good.

Hi,
I am trying to produce 3d (side-by-side) content from Weeview SID (2880x1440, h264, mp4) to view in a Daydream headset with SkyBox app on Android.
I am getting mixed results.
First, when the 'source 3d format' is set to 'side by side', the produced video is a single frame, not side by side stereo. During editing, this could be acceptable, but not in production/outputting. During editing, the preview is horizontally stretched.
When project aspect ratio is 360 there appears to be no 3d output settings available ('Daydream 3d optimal' format would be welcome). 3D output settings become available when project aspect ratio (in Editing view) is not 360.
Second, the aspect ratios are restricted to 16:9, 9:16, 4:3 and 360. But my source and output should be 2:1.
Third, if I produce a 360 video, then h265 is not available. Only h264.
Fourth, if I produce h265 (in 16:9, no 360) then VLC does not play it properly (video artifacts), but Daydream/SkyBox on ZTE Axon 7 does play. I guess this is VLC's problem.
Fifth, and most frustrating, if a manage to produce a side-by-side output (h264, h265), the Skybox app stretches this horizontally beyond 1:1 aspect ratio. However, if I upload this to Youtube and view via normal Youtube app on Android, I get a 1:1 3D view (https://youtu.be/ylGLNv1W5Hc). However, as it is not Daydream formatted, on the Daydream headset with normal Youtube app, this is too much zoomed in and there is no 360. If I view this app on a Daydream headset with SkyBox app, there is 2x horizontal tretch. SkyBox app is needed to play a local file, this cannot be done on Daydream app.
Now, while complaining here, I found a zoom setting in SkyBox (requires vr180 viewing mode) which seems to take care of the horizontal stretch. It appears the zoom is horisontal only.
Other, file size difference between h264 and h265 is 2,5 vs 0,6 GB, which is crazy big difference.
Overall, the phone's native resolution is 2550x1440, and I was hoping that this is enough to hide individual pixels. It is not.
Hope this is useful or gives some ideas.

We need:
- mark-in and mark-out to work on the timeline, without going into trim and multi-trim dialogs,
- setting where production preference (h.26*, frame rate, etc) can be stored for future use, why require the user to enter this for every production?
- using the previous setting, produce the video on the background, to the extent possible.
- simple beep sound effect to replace cursing words, etc,
Thanks,
Kaido

To move all the clips to fill the gap before the clip you want to move, shrink the timeline (small clock symbol), rectangle-slect the clips with your mouse on the timeline, de-shrink the timeline (large clock) and then drag the selection to the point you need. This avoids moving individual clips.
br,

This is the 1-sec source file, adding 'enhancement' causes missing video for me.

Hi!
I am experiencing that 'enhancing' a Clip results in missing video from the 'produced' video file. PDirector renders black (missing) video, sound is ok. This does not happen with the supplied nature.mpg. The video enchancement is Fix/enchance//Enchance//Color adjustment//Brightness//-25 (same happens with +11, or even if 0, ie. only 'Color adjustment' checked). Same happens with Enchance//Video enchancement, but is ok with 'White balance' adjustment. If I select 'compare video qualities in split window' then the pre-render looks ok, but after 'producing', the video is blank. File size shows there is no video included (5 seconds 286kb for black vs. 3802kb for ok non-enchanced video).
Input file is from Sony A77 camera, H.264 AVC, 21.70 MBPS, frame rate 25, 16:9, Profile: high profile.
Bad output attached. Will attach source to the next e-mail, maybe somebody can confirm.
Any help welcome.
