That's all well and good and it makes perfect sense,. However, on both of my systems the clip is deselected every time I click Play or hit the spacebar, so my timeline is permanently in the old "movie mode."
Without a setting to change that behavior, I don't see any way to force PD to return to the beginning of a clip unless I have a tool like Keyframe or Fix / Enhance open.
Yes you're right, it does do that. Surely that's not intended? I just automatically clicked on the clip, so I didn't really notice.
I have to say, I find the new way much more intuitive.
If I have a clip highlighted, the stop sends the playhead to the start of the clip (this makes total sense to me).
If no clip is highlighted the playhead goes to the beginning of the movie.
I no longer have to remember to change it under the preview window (which I always forgot) Just is the clip selected or not.
It always confused me that if a clip was selected, but movie mode switched on. the playhead went back to the beginning and not to the start of the clip, which I would expect.
But as to the greenscreen question you put the background on track 1 and your clip on track 2.
Double click on your clip to open the PIP designer, choose chroma key from the properties tab and use the pipette choose the green screen. The green will be replaced by the background.
If it helps here is a picture. Move the playhead (aka scrubber) to where you want to split and press the split tool. Then move to the next point and press again.
You'll have 3 clips now and can delete the bit you don't want as Optodata says.
Then you'll be able to open the renamed project in PhotoDirector, either by double clicking the project name in Explorer, or the open project command in PhD.
When playing the video on youtube from my phone, I cannot hear any audio from the video.
When playing the video on youtube from my pc, I CAN hear it.
I don't know what you mean by streaming from YT to pc and phone. When I want to start the video, I just hit the play button and it starts. I don't have to stream it. Rephrase please.
I know about autosave, thanks for that.
In this context streaming = playing. On both devices (Phone and PC) when you press play, you are streaming.
What Optodata is suggesting is to compare playing the finished clips, transferred to your phone's memory vs playing (streaming) the clip from YouTube.
QuoteSo here we are 22/09/20 and the download speed is still abysmal. Tried numerous times yesterday to download the update and gave up.
Been downloading this morning for an hour and it has only reached 37%. I think Cyberlink need to find out what is happening to their download speed to the UK. I have checked everything, Router, other downloads and all is fine. No problems with firewall etc.
Even connecting to parts of their website is slow as well as uploading or doing anything on this Forum.
I thought Cyberlink was a world leader in this software but their systems are letting them down.
Have you reported this to Cyberlink as Optodata suggested?
Not to lessen your experience, I am in the UK as well and have had no download issues, so it looks like they may need to diagnose your situation.
I can't tell if this is designed behaviour or not, but I would not have spotted it. This is because whenever I do anything like this to specific clips I always go into the PIP designer (double click on the clip.
I can then resize, move or rotate the clip as I wish.
I wonder if what you're seeing is a consequence of the changes to the anchor points.
Like @Optodata, I can move clips without using the plus sign. Though I can use that if the top layer is moved sufficiently that it no longer obscures the plus sign of the layer below.
I suggest that as a workaround, that you use the PIP designer. This will give you what you want and you won't have to lock any tracks.
QuoteHi,
Can anyone please tell me how can put 2 photos of slightly different sizes next to each other and create a single photo that I can trim back to a rectangular dimension. I can't use the panorama feature as the photos are of different things. The composer option seems to only let me put it over the top not to the side.
Cheers.
