PowerDVD (previous versions) » PD16 or PD17 » Go to message

I'm trying to upload a few videos from my iPhone 7. First, they come into PD12 rotated 90 degrees to the left. I can fix this, but the videos are also all cropped and don't show as much as I see when I play them on the PC without going through PD. There is about 10% of the video missing from both the top and bottom of the screen - it's like someone already cropped the video.

Don't know if this is a factor, but I get a Timeline Frame Rate conflict message saying that I'm adding video at 30 FPS - although the Project timeline frame rate set in General preference is set at 29.97. However, when I go to Preferences it shows 30F FPS (NTSC.)

Thanks for any advice on this.

I'm currently using PD12. Apparently there are problems when trying to upload videos from an iPhone 7 so I need to upgrade. Why would/should I upgrade to PD16 for $84.99 if I can upgrade to PD17 for only $44.95? What am I missing?

Thanks

Using PowerDirector12. Can easily import videos from my Sony camcorder. But when I import videos from my iPhone 7, they come in rotated 90 degrees to the left. When I manually rotate them back, I lose about 35% off the top of the screen. Thoughts?

Thanks much for any help.

So I bought a new Windows 10 PC and have a "Backup Disc" for PowerDirector v12. Will this software work on my new PC? If so, how do I find the product key? I should have written it on the disc years ago.

Thanks

James, thanks for the help!!!

Tried the DVD on a computer. Similar results. It plays the DVD, the timer shows this is about a 24 minute clip, it plays the title for the first 10 seconds, then the screen goes black, even though the timer keeps counting as if it's playing. There's no video or audio.

MPEG file properties show:

Type of File: Movie Clip (.mpeg)

Size: 1.42 GB

Thanks again. I really appreciate the help.

Using Windows 8 and PD 10. Created a MPEG file; then burned this to disc. When placed in my BlueRay player, it plays the 10 second title but nothing else.....??

Thanks

Working on a project with video clips over 25 years old. Have been producing .avi files and clips then putting them all together.

What's the best format to use when burning the entire project to a DVD?

Thanks

PowerDirector (previous versions) » Simple slide show with music » Go to message

I cannot figure out how to do this. I'm trying to create a video that will start with basically a slideshow of still pictures with music, then will have a section with video clips with many of these also set to music. I've figured out how to get the pictures and videos in the PD12 timeline. How do I select a simple crossfade transistion, set to 2 seconds, for each transisition between each picture and video?

Thanks much!! Really appreciate the help.

PowerDirector (previous versions) » Black bars » Go to message

Working on a project in PowerDirector 12 with about 100 clips and 25 still pictures. Somehow, I have black bars on all four sides of all 25 of the pictures and also around all four sides of about 15 videos. How do I increase the size of the videos and pictures to fill up the complete screen? The videos were shot in 4x3 and I thought I uploaded them all the same, but some have black bars and some do not. I'm completely stumped.
Thanks

Thanks so much for the replies. I figured out how to make this work. Rather than Importing the files, I went to the Capture option, selected all titles, and extracted the files. For some reason, this worked.

Thanks again.

Yes, tried that and had the same problem. Thanks for the reply.

PowerDirector (previous versions) » Sound problems » Go to message

I have a DVD with a 23 minute video on it. I can play it on my DVD player with no problem. It has two sections that play back to back. First section has pictures with canned music playing. Second section has video with the usual sounds taken with the video.

Somehow, the first section plays fine in PD12, but the second section has no sound. What's very odd is that in the sound track, both sections show sound. The file type is VOB.

Thanks for any advice.
