PowerDirector 21 » Inquiry about Virtual Studio sets » Go to message

Hi,

I have 365 and I want to use a Virtual Studio set with my chromakey.

I have seen many I like but they come for Final Cut Prio, Adobe Premiere etc. What one would I choose to be used in PD?

Thanks

PowerDirector 21 » Finding files that didn't come into project. » Go to message

Hi,

When I opened the project some files were missing.

I ignored as I tried to find some and couldn't. I moved some discs to another place so couldn't access them now.

The project opened with all but those missing.

Is there a list somewhere of the files so I can do a search of them all rather than just one by one when project is opened?

Many thanks.

TYes that's what we want in the end.

So we do a zoom, save it
then do another save it,
then load them all in and choose the view in MC.

PowerDirector 20 » Multi cam inquiry » Go to message

Many thanks for the help.

Yes I want to Multi Cam it.

I also thought I could do the zoom effect, save it and then import it into the project with the original.

I think that is what you are saying too.

I was hoping I could have a part of the frameselected and zoomed into and then as the track ran I could move that zoomed section so what I wanted was always in frame.

But maybe no.

PowerDirector 20 » Multi cam inquiry » Go to message

Hi,

Can I load the same clip to two differnt tracks then zoom in on one of the tracks so to seem like a 2 cam shoot?

The place where I want to zoom is a face which is moving and I want to alwasy have it in the zoom area.

How can I do this?

Thanks

PowerDirector 20 » Graphics card inquiry » Go to message

Many thanks for that in depth reply.

Yes it is a bit of a Dino however we do manage to chug along as it is. :

Did I get you right that the new card will give a reduction in render to the one we already have for 20/365?

I appreciate your expert opinion.

Thanks again.

PowerDirector 20 » Time line clip showing different after saving to file » Go to message

Quote It is not completely clear what is happening with your clips. But maybe this helps:

Please note that the clip count that shows in under your preview screen is that of the clip not of the whole video. (You can change that by untagging in the edit preferences: Switch to movie mode .......)
And the “seconds” shown in PD are frames not seconds.
The moving of the handles and cutting has influence on how (when) the zoom behaves in the clip. What I saw was: I started a zoom at precisely 2 sec into the clip and ending it at precisely 3 sec. Then I cut of precisely the 1st sec of the clip. The zoom started at 1 sec and 47 frames into the clip and ended at 2 sec and 46 frames. Same result when making the clip shorter by moving the handle. This means that the zoom parameters or keyframes stay (almost) the same (start the zoom 2 sec after the start of the clip) and these do not move along with the cutting. I can understand why that is. It is at least something to keep in mind. I have learned from this that better adjust the length of the clip before applying any zooming.

Maybe this helps you discovering what happened with yor video? If not then you might consider sharing a recording of what it is you do?

(What I don’t understand is WHY the zoom started and ended 3 frames earlier than originally defined (my project has 50 frame per second).)

Many thanks.
All good now. It was going to the files in the tempfolder. Deleted them and it came good.

PowerDirector 20 » Dead spot in Time line » Go to message

Many thanks. Yes the deleting of temp files helped.

PowerDirector 20 » Dead spot in Time line » Go to message

There is a spot in the time line where I had a short clip but had problems so deleted it.

Now I have a new clip which I have placed in the same place but it doesn't even show yet it shows in a differnt place on the timeline, same track.

What is going on?

Is there a memory for what has been at a particular place on the line?

If so, how can I delete it?

PowerDirector 20 » Time line clip showing different after saving to file » Go to message

It may be easier to understand if I show the two views.

The cursor on the 1.22 sec clip on the time line and it showing in the preview and also the same place after it has been saved to an mp4 or mpg.

You can see it is a different image than on the chosen timeline clip.

Both are from the same 30 min source file though.

Hopefully it will ring a bell !

PowerDirector 20 » Timeline shows one thing in clip-produced shows frames before what is on timeline ? » Go to message

Timeline shows one thing in clip-produced shows frames before what is on timeline ?

I have a movie of many clips.

One clip of 8 secs is in the middle butr when I produce the whole movie, the frames I have on the time line are not shown there.

In place are frames on that same clip but before the frames I have chosen.

Never seen this before. Strange.

How can I get it right so that it produced the farnes I have chosen? and why?

Thanks

PowerDirector 20 » When opening a 365 project I get a few AppData/***.bmp files » Go to message

Quote You may want to Right mouse click in the Media library and Click Remove all unused content before you pack the project. This would eliminate the unused content from being packed too.

Onc again I opened a project and got the dreaded cannot open moved/missing C:\Users\AppData \ esoe547k.bmp

I have done seaerches on all AppdDat for PD, all Windows/ Temp but cannot find the file.

Of course other filenames come up once I 'Ignore that one and continue.

I can't recal what those files were so need to at least know that.

How can that be done as I can't goback and Pack the project untuil it is complete again.

Thanks
